5.3 ABOV’s SDK DLL Connections
1) SDK DLL
SDK DLL is a Dynamic Link Library that is used for a development in the IAR Debugger
(C-Spy) environment.
SDK: Software Development Kit
DLL: Dynamic Link Library
IAR selectively provides basic DLL only for some companies such as TI, Infineon, and
Segger.
Products of other companies are connected by using Third Party Drivers.
ABOV developed DLLs to support its debuggers and devices by using SDK sources of IAR.
2) SDK DLL compatibility between IAR versions
It needs to remember that IAR SDK DLL is compatible according to IAR versions.
Causes: Problem of IAR itself, compatibility problem
When the version of IAR Embedded Workbench is 8.0, ABOV_OCD_IAR_1010.DLL must
be used.
When the version of IAR Embedded Workbench is 8.1, ABOV_OCD_IAR_1030.DLL must
be used.
ABOV is under development for DLL that is compatible with current version of IAR.
It is expected that the DLL won’t be compatible with new version of IAR.
SDK DLL and IAR operate only when they are the same version.
You should check whether the DLL operates when the version of the installed IAR
becomes higher (or lower).
