How To Install Keil Uvision 4

[Roshan Fried]

Inthis tutorial, we will learn what Keil IDE is? Why it used and what are its best features. At the start, you are provided with a brief but explanatory introduction of Keil uVision and its uses. After that online source for downloading the latest version of Keil is provided along with the methods of download after that a complete explained installation method is provided. This is a second tutorial on a series of tutorials on tiva launchPad. In the first tutorial, we have seen the introduction of the Tiva launchpad.

Real time environment, code building facility, source code editing and code debugging is provided in a single powerful environment named as keil Vision IDE. It is used to accelerate your embedded software development and is an easy to use IDE. You can create individual window layout anywhere on the visual surface using keil Vision and it can also supports multiple screens.

You can easily download the latest version of keil according to the requirement from online sources. Using the website given below I will guide you how to download and get started with the latest version of keil u vision. Click on the link given below and allow you pc to switch the current running app to the online browser.

Hi,

Its been a while that im trying to install this plugin.

Ive tryed with Eclipse Luna 64 bits, Eclipse Indigo 32 bits ( according to the keil site)

but notting.

After is installed the keil plugin the uvision icon is always in gray and the compile tool too.

Even when I follow the steps to import a project ( it seems to be without problem) the icon is still in gray and I cant compile the project.

What I missed?

I would love if someone can help me cz it is driving me crazy.

Thanks

As mentioned in previous tutorial, we are going to use Freedom KL25Z development board from NXP to develop our embedded applications. In order to create embedded applications, you need to have suitable IDE (Integrated Development Environment) installed in your computer.

We are going to use Keil uVision IDE for our embedded applications using windows platform. Only reason to choose this IDE is, you can develop embedded applications for all supported ARM devices along with NXP. In next few pages I am going to explain on how to setup Keil uVision IDE in your computer. Before doing that, make sure you have windows 7/8/10 (32/64-bit) operating system installed in your computer and there is sufficient RAM/Flash to install these tools. Make sure you are connected to high speed internet to download IDE from Internet.

Hope you are able to successfully install the keil uvision IDE on your computer. If yes, now you are ready to create your very first embedded project in IDE, which is explained in next Tutorial Writing and Compiling your First Code in Keil uVision.

The Arm Keil Studio Pack installs recommended extensions for embedded and IoT software development on Arm-based microcontroller (MCU) devices. The extensions included are listed in the Details of the pack in Visual Studio Code and described in Extensions available in the pack.

The main Keil Studio extensions available with the pack are Arm CMSIS Solution, Arm Device Manager, and Arm Debugger. The extensions enable you to manage CMSIS solutions (csolution projects), run projects on a hardware device, and undertake debugging. You can use the extensions together or individually.

This README file explains how to install the extensions with Visual Studio Code Desktop. When you have installed the pack, read the documentation available on Arm Developer to get started. You can import a solution example from keil.arm.com, download a μVision project from keil.arm.com, create a solution from scratch, or convert an existing μVision project.

Embedded and IoT software development using CMSIS-Packs and solutions (csolution projects): The Common Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS) provides driver, peripheral, and middleware support for thousands of MCUs and hundreds of development boards. Using the csolution project format, you can incorporate any CMSIS-Pack based device, board, and software component into your application. For more information about supported hardware for CMSIS projects, go to the Boards and Devices pages on keil.arm.com. For information about CMSIS-Packs, go to open-cmsis-pack.org.

Enhancement of a pre-existing Visual Studio Code embedded software development workflow: You can adapt USB device management and embedded debug to other project formats (for example, CMake) and toolchains without additional overhead. This use case requires familiarity with Visual Studio Code to configure tasks. See the individual extensions for more details.

Arm Environment Manager (Identifier: arm.environment-manager): This extension installs the tools that you specify in a manifest file in your environment. For example, you can install Arm Compiler for Embedded, CMSIS-Toolbox, CMake, and Ninja to work with CMSIS solutions.

Arm Virtual Hardware (Identifier: arm.virtual-hardware): This extension allows you to manage Arm Virtual Hardware models and run embedded applications on them. An authentication token is required to access the service.

Memory Inspector (Identifier: eclipse-cdt.memory-inspector): This extension allows you to analyze and monitor the memory contents in an embedded system. It helps you to identify and debug memory-related issues during the development phase of your project.

Peripheral Inspector (Identifier: eclipse-cdt.peripheral-inspector): This extension uses System View Description (SVD) files to display peripheral details. SVD files provide a standardized way to describe the memory-mapped registers and peripherals of a microcontroller or a System-on-Chip (SoC).

This extension collects usage telemetry and sends it to Arm to help improve our products. This extension respects the Visual Studio Code telemetry settings described in the Visual Studio Code documentation. Modify telemetry options in the settings menu.
