Note

IAR Build Tools activation

The IAR Build Tools requires a valid activation token for operation. When the tools are used, the token authenticates the subscriber to the IAR Cloud License Service using a https connection (tcp/443).

The token is provided by the IAR Customer Support to IAR Subscribers. Once you receive your authentication <token-string>, the IAR_LMS_BEARER_TOKEN environment variable must be set.

Shell Environment Example
Bash export IAR_LMS_BEARER_TOKEN=<token-string>
Command Prompt set IAR_LMS_BEARER_TOKEN=<token-string>
Powershell [System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("IAR_LMS_BEARER_TOKEN", "<token-string>", "Machine")

Device support installation (optional)

Vendor-specific device support packages are provided separately, as optional archives. One or more of these can be installed on top of a base installation, using the same procedure as described for the build tools.
