Re:STM32 family grows to microprocessor/Linux level with STM... by HeyLaughingBoy on Tuesday August 22, 2023 @12:42PM (#37225243)
I have learned to hate IAR Embedded Workbench in the two years that I've been forced to use it. It will just randomly refuse to give me a function/method list or claim it doesn't know where a value is defined. I'm not much of a fan of Keil products either.

I would use VScode for everything if I could. But for the life of me, I can't get debugging working in VS Code, using the IAR plugins and a j-Trace/j-Link. Works fine with ST-Link though, go figure.

Have you reached out to IAR regarding these issues. Normally they reply and give you workarounds or fixes if the issue is reproducible.

Can't. Our development process requires using validated tools and we would have to validate a new version. A fix for this would not be worth the validation cost.
