IAR Systems, a future-proof supplier of software tools and services for embedded development, today presents its tool solution for simplified evaluation and development of Renesas Electronics’ EC-1. It’s a dedicated communication System on Chip (SoC) with a built-in EtherCAT slave controller which is intended to boost production efficiency in factories.  Besides, the company has also announced to join EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG) to offer reliable solutions for industrial applications. EtherCAT is one of the leading protocol standards in industrial networking applications and Renesas provides the EC-1 to simplify the adoption of EtherCAT by allowing users to get started very quickly with the development of EtherCAT slave.

IAR Systems, the world-known supplier of software tools and services for embedded development, has announced that it will partner with ARM on the newly enhanced ARM DesignStart program. System on Chip (SoC) designers will now be able to use the powerful development toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench for SoC development using DesignStart Cortex-M Processors, thereby making the development faster and more reliable. The enhanced ARM DesignStart program facilitates the creation of custom SoCs using the ARM Cortex-MO and Cortex-M3 processors with no upfront license fee. This, in turn, provides a verified subsystem for a wide range of applications, including IoT, sensor, control and mixed-signal SoCs, as well as design services and support.

IAR Systems, a supplier of software tools and services for embedded development, has partnered with Ayla Networks, a provider of a global Internet of Things (IoT) platform for the development and management of connected products. This collaboration will result in helping customers worldwide in their development for IoT. From start, the partnership between Ayla and IAR Systems will focus on companies in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, which is an area where many of Ayla’s customers already use the complete development toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench® for ARM®. 

IAR Systems has recently introduced a new version of its industry-leading development tools for Renesas RX thus adding support for the runtime analysis tool C-RUN®. With this addition, the code analysis capabilities in IAR Embedded Workbench have been completed, which previously supported the static analysis tool C-SAT®. The combination of C-RUN and C-SAT with IAR Embedded Workbench allows complete control through the entire development cycle. In order to perform runtime analysis, C-RUN checks application execution directly within the development environment. IT features advanced bounds checking, arithmetic checks, and heap checking. The tight integration of C-RUN with IAR Embedded Workbench IDE lets developers run quickly through the analysis.
