C Development & Testing IDE

Adam Zehavi

Hi,

I followed up the tutorials, and got to the part where I start to look at code and actually understand how things work all together, thing is, as I try to follow up the example in the Software developers guide, I see that the IAR IDE... is not what I'm used to. 

So I was wondering, are there other IDEs out there except the IAR?

Since the last time I wrote in C++ was 10 years ago, and that most of the code I see is C, I'm not really sure how the IAR IDE manages its project imports, build path, etc, but do you think it would be possible to migrate the project to another IDE (Specifically Eclipse for C/C++) , and keep the project setup and functionality intact, with minor import changes? (I assume that for debugging I would have to use the IAR or could I also import the debugging drivers).

Thanks,

Adam.

    Hi Adam,

    We only support IAR at this time.  You might check IAR website if there is any support for Eclipse. IAR has project explorer, breakpoints, and project find commands all built in, and is very stable.

    Hi Greg,

    I thought this may be the issue, but I've decided to give it a try, since Eclipse is my native IDE, and I have good controls over its features, and short keys, and I understand how it works, and what to expect of it.

    I've tried to migrate the project once, and I had a lot of compilation errors, and syntax errors, I probably have the build path of the projects wrong, I'm going to give it another try... 

    If anyone think they might have good pointer/advice/idea, please don't hesitate to share...

    Hi Greg,

    I took your advice, and checked the IAR site for Eclipse plugin, and guess what, they do have a "Eclipse technology program", I've applied to join, and I hope that I would be excepted to this program.

    I have a few compilation errors, but I've asked about this on StackOverflow.

    Thank you for all your help.
