QUESTION
How can I switch between different versions/builds of the Arm Compiler within µVision IDE?
SYMPTOM
In some situations it might be desirable to use a different version/build/updates of the Arm Compiler than the one shipped with MDK. For example, a new patch for the Arm Compiler might include some improvements and fixes. Also, it might be desirable to compare the code generation from the Arm Compiler shipped with one version of MDK with another version.
RESOLUTION
- Research the features of of Arm Compiler 5 and Arm Compiler 6. More details are in the Migrating from Arm Compiler 5 to Arm Compiler 6 manual.
- Download your selection of Arm Compiler 5 or Arm Compiler Version 6. For Arm Compiler version 6 ensure downloading the Windows 32-bit installer variant to work with MDK licenses.
- Keep the folder C:Keil_V5ARMARMCC where the original Arm Compiler version installed together with MDK.
- Then install the new compiler version into a different folder inside the directory C:Keil_V5ARM, for example C:Keil_V5ARMARMCCv506u6.
- Refer to 'Setup Default Arm Compiler Version' to configure the Arm Compiler version at µVision.
Note: the Keil license on the PC has to support the selected version of the Arm compiler. There could be compiler or linker errors if:
- the support period for the license ended before the release date of the compiler
- the compiler version downloaded was never included within a MDK software release
- the compiler is older than ARMCC version 5.02
For MDK versions 5.11a and older
See the article µVision: Switching between different versions/builds of ARM Compiler.
See the article µVision: Switching between different versions/builds of ARM Compiler.
Rather than switch compilers, there is method for having multiple versions of the Keil IDE on the same machine. See µVision: Using Two Different Versions Of a Tool Chain.
