IAR embedded tools support new Kinetis E series MCUs

The Kinetis E series are the first 5V, 32-bit MCUs built on the ARM Cortex-M0+ processor. Offering high efficiency and optimal code density, they feature rugged electromagnetic noise immunity for systems historically limited to 8- and 16-bit MCUs. Intended applications for the Kinetis E series microcontrollers include white goods and industrial applications such as dishwashers, refrigerators, home and building control systems and motor control fans.

Used in combination, IAR Embedded Workbench and Kinetis E series MCUs offer a platform for rapid development. This makes it possible to create true low-power, high-performance applications. Generating efficient and reliable flashable code, IAR Embedded Workbench provides a built-in chip-specific code optimizer. Providing automatic project configuration for all Kinetis devices, it is integrated with Freescale MQX Software Solutions and with Freescale Processor Expert software modeling tool and comes with example projects for MQX, the Tower kit, and the Freedom Development Platform.

About IAR Embedded Workbench

IAR Embedded Workbench is a set of highly sophisticated and easy-to-use software development tools. It integrates the IAR C/C++ Compiler, assembler, linker, librarian, text editor, project manager, and C-SPY Debugger in an integrated development environment. By using IAR Embedded Workbench, developers can improve efficiency and shorten the time to market, reuse code across projects and reduce the costs for training, maintenance, and managing of licenses.
