NXP has collaborated with IAR Systems to ensure full support for the MCF5225x family of microcontrollers. IAR Embedded Workbench is a set of highly sophisticated and easy-to-use development tools for programming embedded applications. It integrates the IAR C/C++ Compiler™, assembler, linker, librarian, text editor, project manager, and C-SPY® debugger in one integrated development environment (IDE). A complementary version of Kick Start Edition Embedded Workbench and the Evaluation Edition of IAR PowerPac for ColdFire are available. Customers can buy the IAR RTOS and development tools from NXP through the buy direct system. The IAR development tool works directly on M52259EVB board but does not support the M52259DEMOKIT at this time. However, IAR does plan to support OSBDM in the near future.
