IAR Systems has today announced version 6.70 of the complete C/C++ development toolchain, IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM. Version 6.70 brings improved integrations and new functionality, including the on-demand download of example projects, as well as new device support.

IAR Embedded Workbench features a web-based Information Center in which users can select to download example projects for their microcontroller vendor of choice. Increasing flexibility, this new functionality uses less free memory space for installation and makes the download and installation of the product faster.

IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM version 6.70 improves and extends the integration with the device configuration tool Freescale Processor Expert Software. Enabling developers to import files or file packages generated by the tool, this integration consists of a project connection mechanism used to seamlessly pass project content from Freescale Processor Expert to IAR Embedded Workbench. IAR Embedded Workbench automatically detects changes in the generated file set.

Including new pragma directives to set default placement and attributes for variable or function declarations and definitions, the compiler allows users to override multiple declarations and definitions by using a single pragma.

Version 6.70 adds support for new microcontrollers from Atmel, NXP and Toshiba, further expanding IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM’s uniquely wide support covering all ARM cores (a total of more than 2,600 devices from more than 30 vendors).
