IAR Announces IAR Embedded Workbench For ARM Version 6.60
Today, IAR Systems launches a new version of its embedded development toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM. Version 6.60 adds possibilities for running Power Debugging on all ARM cores, as well as functionality for invoking external code analysis tools. Added support for IAR Systems’ I-scope probe adds possibilities for current and voltage measurements.
I-scThere is an increasing use of code analysis tools in embedded projects. To respond to the needs of customers using analysis tools, IAR Systems adds a flexible mechanism for invoking external analyzers for project files. The functionality is typically used to interface to static analysis tools like PC-lint. The new intuitive integration makes it easy to use these tools together with IAR Embedded Workbench.
New in the IAR C/C++ Compiler is code generation for execute-only code memory systems. This allows the compiler to be configured to not generate any data accesses to code memory. This can be very useful for systems that prohibit data accesses in code memory for security reasons.
Version 6.60 also expands the world’s broadest ARM support with support for additional microcontrollers from leading semiconductor vendors such as Atmel, Energy Micro, Freescale, Fujitsu, Renesas, STMicroelectronics and Toshiba.
