Technical note
STM32F101xx and STM32F103xx medium-density devices:
upgrading your toolchain to V5.20 of IAR EWARM
Introduction
The purpose of this technical note is to provide information on the upgrade to V5.20 of the
IAR EWARM toolchain when using STM32F101xx and STM32F103xx medium-density
devices.
For the complete documentation about EWARM V5.20, please refer to the IAR website.
IAR EWARM V5.20
In July 2008, IAR released a new revision of the Embedded Workbench for ARM (EWARM):
V5.20. The previous version was V5.11.
While running the tests with this new toolchain revision, STMicroelectronics and IAR found
some incompatibility with revisions B and Z of the STM32F101xx and STM32F103xx
medium-density devices.
ST recommends to use the latest revision of the STM32F101xx and STM32F103xx
medium-density, that is revision Y.
Free samples of the revision Y of the STM32F101xx and STM32F103xx medium-density
chips are available from the STM32 page on the ST website.
To get free samples, go to http://www.st.com/mcu/inchtml-pages-stm32.html, then click on
the desired device on the product portfolio view. The page will direct you to the product
page.
For instance, if you click on STM32F103RB, you will be redirected to
http://www.st.com/mcu/devicedocs-STM32F103RB-110.html where you can find samples
by clicking on the
button.
The free sampling process is explained at:
http://www.st.com/stonline/domains/buy/samples/index.htm.
If you are using an IAR starter kit, an ST evaluation board or an ST motor control kit with
revisions B and Z of the STM32F101xx and STM32F103xx medium-density devices and
you wish to upgrade to revision Y, ST offers a free replacement with the latest IAR starter kit,
ST evaluation board and ST motor control kit. Please contact your nearest ST sales office or
distributor.
