IAR EW8051 Standard or Limited

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2540

Hi,

I just talked to my local sales rep for IAR.

He presented me with two options for the IAR embedded workbench.

Standard (full) or the Limited version.

The difference being that the limited version is missing the following:

  • MISRA C checker
  • C-SPY Debugger
  • RTOS plugin

The MISRA C and the RTOS i can do without, but im not sure if the lack of C-SPY debugger will prevent me from using the CC Debugger that comes with my CC2540 devkit.

Can anyone shed some light on the difference, and weather the 1000$ difference in price is well worth it?

 

Best regards,

Klaus

    The C-Spy debugger is required to be able to communicate with the hardware.  The limited edition is only good for 30 days and is intended as a means to evaluate the IDE before you buy it.  I believe it will run in the simulator mode without the C-Spy but I'm not sure.

    Klaus,

    You need the full version (part.no EW8051) to download the application and debug this kit with the integrated debugger. The limited edition (part.no EW8051-LE) includes the full build chain and can be used to build applications for CC2540, but the integrated debugger is disabled.

    The evaluation edition (EW8051-EV) found on www.iar.com/ew8051 is good for 30 days.
