Uppsala, Sweden– IAR announced version 9.50 of IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm and IAR Build Tools for Arm. The update includes enhancements like advanced cloud debugging and simulation capabilities on Linux, the integration of Arm Virtual Hardware (AVH), and the IAR C-SPY Debugger and Simulator for Linux.

Uppsala, Sweden. IAR is now supporting NXP Semiconductors’ S32M2 motor control for software-defined electric vehicles within its IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm. According to IAR, the solution provides a next level compiler and debugger for S32M2 devices that are based on Arm Cortex-M microcontroller cores. Integrated within the C/C++ suite is also the ability to monitor power consumption for more sustainable options.

Uppsala, Sweden. IAR CTO, Anders Holmberg, offered the following perspective on what free costs, “Free tools may seem like a good idea, but they often result in higher long-term costs due to inefficiencies and the need for additional resources to compensate for their limitations.” To help combat lost money, when trying to save, IAR released its Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) calculator to its Embedded Workbench.

Uppsala, Sweden. IAR will fully support the latest CYT6BJ series from Infineon’s 32-bit TRAVEO T2G Body MCU family. The IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm delivers code analysis tools C-STAT and C-RUN aiding designers utilizing TRAVEO T2G MCUs.  

Uppsala, Sweden. "Security has emerged as a top priority for embedded software developers," says Anders Holmberg, CTO at IAR. IAR, released v9.40 of the IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm that markets an enhancement in code security via integration of the pointer Authentication and Branch Target Identification (PACBTI) extension for Armv8.1-M.

Uppsala, Sweden. IAR updated its model-based design solution, IAR Visual State, that aids in cross-platform design and added visualization benefits for generating code quickly and aiding in a low-code development methodology.

Uppsala, Sweden. With new security legislation and stricter requirements being passed, IAR designed its IAR Embedded Secure IP for boosted integrated security in designer firmware applications, including support for late-stage product maturity. IAR’s secure software can be installed by the user using hardware security modules (HSM) from IAR Embedded Security Solutions.
