Build options, and prebuild/postbuild settings

To set various build options, use the sections on the IAR Embedded Workbench Project Options dialog where you can enter command-line options:

• C / C++ Compiler > Extra Options

• Assembler > Extra Options

• Linker > Extra Options

Prebuild and postbuild steps from a ModusToolbox application are not included in the export process by default for most devices at this time. If your original application has these steps, you must include them in the IAR Embedded Workbench manually as follows:

1. In IAR Embedded Workbench, open the Options dialog, go to the

   Build Actions

   category.

2. Click the

   New

   button to open the New Build Action dialog.

3. On the New Build Action dialog, enter a command-line argument, output and/or input files, the working directory, and the build order.

4. If using a postbuild script that works with .elf files, switch to the

   Linker > Output

   tab and change the file extension from ".out" to ".elf" in the

   Output filename

   field:

   
   
   
   
   

5. Click

   OK

   to close the Options dialog.

   Refer to the IAR Embedded Workbench Help for more details.

6. On the IAR main menu, select

   Project > Make

   to build the application. You should see the following:

   Hello_World.elf

   Total number of warnings: 0
