The IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM has been evaluated by Synchromesh Computing as part of its Market Ready Validation Programme for Freescale Semiconductor's i.MX applications processors.
Kit kick-starts Cortex development
Starter kit includes free IAR Embedded Workbench KickStart for ARM with Cortex M3 support, enabling full production use with the LM3S102 device.
The development tools included in IAR YellowSuite for ColdFire microcontrollers comprise: IAR Embedded Workbench, for building and debugging the application; IAR visualState, for design, validation, test and verification of the control logic; IAR PowerPac RTOS, file system and associated middleware; and an IAR KickStart Kit, to test the application on real hardware.
Mats Ullstrom, Product Director of IAR Systems, said "The Flexis QE128 series is already attracting a lot of attention from developers and we believe that IAR YellowSuite will provide the optimum solution for them to achieve the best results in the shortest possible time".
"We are delighted that designers building embedded systems based on our ColdFire V1 and V2 cores can now use IAR YellowSuite for ColdFire microcontrollers", said Jeff Bock, global Product Marketing Manager for Freescale's Consumer and Industrial Microcontroller Operation.

Tools cut H8 embedded code down to size
IAR Embedded Workbench V2.10 for Renesas H8 comprises a powerful suite of essential build and debug tools for embedded projects using both C and C++.
"This means that developers using the advanced Flexis MCF51QE128 - the first MCU based on the ColdFire V1 core - will have access to a powerful suite of development tools, as well as broad ecosystem support".
IAR Embedded Workbench, with support for ColdFire V1 and V2 cores, incorporates a C/C++ compiler, assembler, linker, librarian, text editor, project manager and debugger.
These elements are combined in an integrated development environment (IDE) for programming embedded applications.
With its built-in chip-specific code optimiser, IAR Embedded Workbench generates very efficient and reliable Flash/PROMable code for ColdFire devices.
IAR VisualState is a set of graphical development tools for designing, testing and implementing embedded applications based on state machines and on the Unified Modelling Language (UML) subset.
It provides advanced verification and validation utilities and generates very compact C code that is 100% consistent with the system design.
VisualState features RTOS-aware debugging, with a built-in plugin for IAR PowerPac.
IAR PowerPac is an integrated middleware toolset for developing embedded applications, with a low risk-per-seat license model.
IAR PowerPac contains a fully featured real-time operating system (RTOS) and a high-performance file system, which is highly optimised for minimum memory consumption in both RAM and ROM.
A USB device stack is available as optional add-on to IAR PowerPac.
The IAR KickStart Kit for ColdFire will be introduced later in October and contains all the necessary hardware, software and ready-made example projects to allow the cost-effective design, development, integration and test of applications in a very efficient way.
