IAR Embedded Workbench for Eclipse (EWARM version 9.x)

Known issues

• The Generalplus G+LINK debug probe is not supported in Eclipse (ECL-3314)
• The I-jet driver does not support asymmetric multicore debugging (AMP) under Linux. (ECL-3313)
• The SWO/ETM toolbar is currently not available. (ECL-3311)
• SDM debug authentication is not yet supported by the Eclipse plugins. (ECL-3262)
• The project importer dialog might in some cases lose focus behind other dialogs (ECL-3249, updated 2023-01-19)
• Adding a macro file with a syntax error in the CSpy Macro Registration view may trigger a deadlock. (ECL-3182, updated 2023-01-23)
• The Function Profiler is missing its toolbar and can only be managed using the context menu. (ECL-3139, updated 2024-11-13)
• Setting the device to "None" when a linker configuration file is set will not update it to its default value. (ECL-3129)
• Running a C-STAT analysis on a project where header files which are not part of the project itself will produce "Missing Resources" errors when the analysis is performed the first time. (ECL-3119)
• The FPU selection option might display values which are not supported by the device being used for the project. (ECL-3115)
• The timeline view does not support the "Call stack" graph type. (ECL-3016)
• Installing the IAR plugins in Eclipse 2020-06 requires the user to run Java 11 or untick the "Verify provisioning operation is compatible with currently running JRE" option in Windows>Preferences>Install\Update or the installation will fail. See https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/NewIn911 for further details. (ECL-2991, updated 2020-07-20)
• Parts of the Eclipse help option reference are out of date. Please refer to the Embedded Workbench guides for up to date documentation. (ECL-2655)
• Using the "@" placement operator in a function declaration will result in a syntax error being reported by the CDT indexer. The workaround is to use a #pragma location instead. (ECL-1801, updated 2016-10-19)
• In projects which use many/long include paths, the compiler command line might exceed system limits, which in turn might cause the Eclipse CDT Internal Builder to truncate it. A workaround is to build the project using make, via Project > Properties > C/C++ Build > Tool Chain Editor > Current builder, by setting it to Gnu Make Builder. For further information about Eclipse CDT and command line length, see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=72965 . (ECL-1794, updated 2014-07-17)
• The Debugger settings tabs do not support Eclipse build variables syntax (e.g. ${ProjName}). However, EW variables are supported ($TOOLKIT_DIR$, etc). (ECL-1650, updated 2019-11-11)
• When cleaning a project, Eclipse might display a warning about the "rm" command not being found. The project will be anyway cleaned using the Java runtime library. See Eclipse issues https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=242649 , https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=218870. (ECL-1013, updated 2016-11-09)
• 
  The CDT Variables view might not display a parent class correctly in some cases. Use the C-SPY Locals view instead. (ECL-740, updated 2010-12-06)
• There are several Eclipse issues affecting Parallel Build: post-build actions will not run (see Eclipse bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=408948), a "build error: null" message is displayed at times (see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=289048) and under some conditions, building a project might always result in a full rebuild (see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=217674).
