Migrating cspybat scripts

Introduction

When migrating to IDE platform version 9.3, for example included in IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm version 9.50.1, cspybat scripts need to be migrated.

Discussion

This technical note gives the details of such a migration.

Migration

There are two suggested ways to migrate, so use either this solution...

• Let the 9.3 IDE generate new cspybat files, according to Technical Note 26068.

...or use this solution:

• Manually replace --plugin="arm\bin\armbat.dll" with --plugin="arm\bin\armLibsupportUniversal.dll" in existing scripts.

Background

In IDE platform 9.3 there is a new DLL for use with cspybat, named armLibsupportUniversal.dll.

The plugin files in arm\bin (for use with the cspybat --plugin option) have changed, the armbat.dll, armLibSupport.dll and armLibSupportEclipse.dll are replaced by armLibsupportUniversal.dll.

This will break any existing cspybat scripts. The error message from an existing cspybat script will be:

Could not find the specified libsupport file: arm\bin\armbat.dll

Conclusion

Users using cspybat and migrating to an IAR Embedded Workbench product with IDE platform version 9.3 will have to migrate the script(s) for cspybat.
