Thank you, now I know my IAR workbench works well, everything is installed correctly. I couldn't find the SFRs because im not used to select them the context menu in the register view (new GUI behaviour since IAR V8.xx).

By the time I will check out the SES, I've seen that it is free of charge together with nordic chips.

Note:

We have now released SDK 14.1, where we have added support for Segger Embedded Studio (SES) IDE. You can use Segger Embedded Studio for commercial and non-commercial purpose with Nordic Semiconductor devices free of charge.

You can download SDK 14.1 here.

Hi,

The MDK installers add support for Nordic chips. This includes device header files, flash algorithms and system description files. You don't need to do anything yourself inside IAR workbench, everything should be handled by the installer.

The release notes for MDK version 8.15.0 looks like this:

Updated peripheral header files for every device

Added assert in GCC startup code to check that code and init data do not overflow the flash area

Corrections in nRF52832, nRF52810 and nRF52840 header files

Fixed warning error when debugging with IAR Embedded Workbench for nRF52 devices

Added support package for Segger Embedded Studio

From MDK version 8.12.0 the option to install the MDK with a new 5-clause Nordic proprietary license was added. The installer with NordicLicense in the file name, uses this license. See this blog post for more information about that.

In a debug session, you can open the register view, by clicking on "View" -> "Register"
