MSP430I2020: Moved project from older IAR to IAR v7 - strange build errors; Follow up to comments about legacy code

Part Number: MSP430I2020

James,

WRT code : Still using older, legacy code.  At this time there is no option to move to newer EMDC solution.  I checked the .map file and the code is < 16KB, so it should fit in i2020.

WRT IAR : I was using an older version of IAR and everything compiled fine.  I have new laptop, new IAR install, I'm at v7.  When I try to build project(s) with new IAR, i get strange errors.  Can you help me understand where they are coming from?  It looks to me that it doesn't like the new IAR/compiler option.  

I tried but could not find, on IAR site, how to download legacy versions of workbench?

  • James,

    Sorry for successive email but I think I can get rid of several errors if I can just download older version of workbench.  Do you know where on IAR site that I can find this?  I have been unsuccessful in finding it.

    Thanks,

    Marc

  • Hi Marc,

    Thanks for posting on E2E. To fix the "Compiler not recognized" error, you'll need to manually change the upper limit for the IAR version in the preprocessor directive. I think the default value is "600", so change it to "800" or "900" and that should fix it.

    Also, let me know if you do need a specific version of IAR. You may be able to find older versions on IAR's website if you create an account and log in. We have some .tar packages I can share with you if that doesn't work.

    Regards,

    James
