How to open S43 file?

An often recurring problem with IAR Assembly Source is that S43 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file S43 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the S43 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install IAR Embedded Workbench Kickstart

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that IAR Embedded Workbench Kickstart is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name IAR Embedded Workbench Kickstart into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support S43 files.

Step 2. Create association of IAR Embedded Workbench Kickstart with S43 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the S43 file still does not use the IAR Embedded Workbench Kickstart program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the S43 file with the IAR Embedded Workbench Kickstart application.

Step 3. Update IAR Embedded Workbench Kickstart to the latest version

If, despite the association of the IAR Embedded Workbench Kickstart program with the IAR Assembly Source file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Texas Instruments Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the S43 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the S43 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the S43 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected S43 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of S43 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged S43 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Texas Instruments Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file S43 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the S43 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the S43 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
