Example applications are provided for use with IAR Embedded Workbench. You can use these examples to get started using the development tools from IAR. You can also use the examples as a starting point for your application project.

You can find the examples on GitHub, in the github.com/iarsystems/embedded-workbench-example-projects repository. The examples are ready to be used as is. They are supplied with ready-made workspace files, together with source code files and all other related files.

  2. In the downloaded example folder you will find an Embedded Workbench file (.eww). Open the file in the IAR Embedded Workbench IDE.

  3. The available example projects are displayed in the workspace window. Select one of the projects, and if it is not the active project (highlighted in bold), right-click it and choose Set as Active from the context menu.

  4. To view the project settings, select the project and choose Project>Options. Verify the settings for General>Target>Processor variant and Debugger>Setup>Driver. As for other settings, the project is set up to suit the target system you selected.
