12.3 Setup for various debuggers
The J-Link RDI software is an ARM Remote Debug Interface (RDI) for J-Link. It makes
it possible to use J-Link with any RDI compliant debugger. Basically, J-Link RDI con-
sists of a additional DLL (
JLinkRDI.dll) which builds the interface between the RDI
API and the normal J-Link DLL. The
JLinkRDI.dll itself is part of the J-Link software
and documentation package.
12.3.1 IAR Embedded Workbench IDE
J-Link RDI can be used with IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM.
12.3.1.1 Supported software versions
J-Link RDI has been tested with IAR Embedded Workbench IDE version 4.40. There
should be no problems with other versions of IAR Embedded Workbench IDE. All
screenshots are taken from IAR Embedded Workbench version 4.40.
Note: Since IAR EWARM V5.30 J-Link is fully and natively supported by EWARM,
so RDI is no longer needed.
12.3.1.2 Configuring to use J-Link RDI
1. Start the IAR Embedded Workbench and open the tutor example project or the
desired project. This tutor project has been preconfigured to use the simulator driver.
In order to run the J-Link RDI, the driver needs to be changed.
2. Choose
Project | Options and select the Debugger category. Change the
