I have used both Keil and IAR.  I prefer IAR for a lot of reasons:

 

*	Debugger display of special purpose registers far superior
*	Watch display superior
*	Seems more compliant

 

It does have its bugs/design "flaws".  

*	If a map file is open and you recompile, the map file is not
updated
*	Similarly, if a source file is open in the IDE and you modify it
outside, it is not updated in the IDE display.  Amazingly, the external
update is not used for the compile, but the older open source is...  I
really would like this fixed so I could use external editors better.
*	The in-line assembler is not as robust as Keil - it is hard to
access relocatable addresses.

 

IAR has been slow to fix these nuisance bugs, but they have been very
good about addressing "real' bugs.  And there have been very few of
those.  


Tech support has been good.  Generally, the response in within hours.
But during "show time", when tech support is supporting shows, emails
take a bit long to get response.  They have been good at helping with
"my problems" where the product worked, but I didn't know how to get
something done

 

Still, with these limitations, I seem to get a lot more done in IAR
environment.

Hello,
Is anybody using IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM microcontrollers.
I'm curious about your opinions concerning this software.
