Welcome to e-News from IAR Systems
Developer's Toolbox contains an article about advanced project management in the IAR Embedded Workbench IDE. We also provide an overview of smart card technology.

Starting October 1, all software products from IAR Systems will be delivered in up-to-date packaging together with new and revised user documentation.

Last but not least—thank you all who attended Embedded Systems Conference in Boston last week! Several events will take place in October: a new series of online seminars, Netrino's Embedded Software Boot Camp, Design&Elektronik's Entwicklerforum in Germany and ARM techcon³.

Best regards,

Advanced Project Management
The IAR Embedded Workbench IDE is a highly customizable environment. This article will demonstrate how you can work with and organize projects and configurations. We will also show how the different build tools (pre-, post- and custom-build) can be used, both from the IDE and from the command line. Last, but not least, we will show how to run the debugger from the command line, which is a nice feature if you need to run batch tests on your application.
