What do you want to do?

Stop build operation on

Selects when the build operation should stop. Choose between:

Save editor windows before building

Selects when the editor windows should be saved before a build operation. Choose between:

Save workspace and projects before building

Selects when a workspace and included projects should be saved before a build operation. Choose between:

Selects when a Make operation should be performed as you start a debug session. Choose between:

Reload last workspace at startup

Loads the last active workspace automatically the next time you start the IAR Embedded Workbench IDE.

Play a sound after build operations

Plays a sound when the build operations are finished.

Enable project connections

Enables the support for setting up live project connections, see Project Connection Setup dialog box.

Enable build cache

Enables caching of build nodes.

Enable parallel build

Enables the support for parallel build. The compiler runs in several parallel processes to better use the available cores in the CPU. In the Processes text box, specify the number of processes you want to use. Using all available cores might result in a less responsive IDE.

Resolve sources for debug target in current project

Makes the IAR Embedded Workbench IDE try to resolve the source files automatically when an externally built executable is added to a project. This setting is used when you create a new project—existing projects will not be affected by any changes. For more information, see Resolving source files for externally built executable files.
