Configuring Your Preferred IDE
Simplicity Studio is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). However, you are not limited to using only Simplicity Studio as your
IDE, you have the option of configuring Simplicity Studio to launch your preferred IDE for the development of software samples. For
instance, if you would prefer to use IAR or Keil, you can configure this option within Simplicity Studio by clicking on the “Settings” icon in
the top right corner of the Simplicity Perspective and going to [Simplicity Studio > Preferred IDE].

The “Preferred IDE” will be used when launching sample applications from within Simplicity Studio.
Note: IAR and GCC are supported as compiler toolchains within Simplicity Studio, meaning that the IAR or GCC compiler can be used
within the Simplicity Studio IDE. Keil and other compilers are only supported as “Preferred IDEs,” meaning that a project file is provided
in the sample applications but the Keil compiler is not integrated into Simplicity Studio. So if you want to use the Keil compiler, you must
use it within the Keil uVision IDE.
