Workbench supports ARM Cortex-M1
processor
Version 5 of IAR Embedded Workbench enables the linking of object code from different parties supporting the ARM EABI standard.
IAR Systems has released IAR Embedded Workbench Version 5 for ARM, a major upgrade to its flagship compiler and debugger, with support for the ARM EABI open standard The company is the first independent tool vendor to support the new ARM Cortex-M1 processor, the first ARM processor designed specifically for implementation in field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs)

Workbench approved for i.MX processor applications
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 tool set provides an intelligent workflow, managed from within a familiar and intuitive user interface.
It provides all the benefits of a fully integrated development environment that includes a C/C++ compiler, a project manager, an editor, build tools and the versatile C-SPY debugger.
By supporting ARM Embedded Application Binary Interface (EABI), Version 5 of IAR Embedded Workbench enables the linking of object code from different parties supporting the ARM EABI standard, such as ARM RealView or GNU.
This gives IAR Embedded Workbench users access to large projects that require object file standardisation, a feature that will grow in importance as ARM EABI gains acceptance.
With IAR Embedded Workbench Version 5 it has also become possible to link to third-party component libraries, a capability that is becoming increasingly important as application complexity and code size increase.
With the implementation of ARM EABI the integral C-SPY debugger can now also be used to debug code in Elf/Dwarf format from other vendors.
The Ilink linker is significantly faster, to minimise the time it takes to perform a new link in more complex applications.
In addition IAR Embedded Workbench Version 5 has more than 500 code and project examples for a large selection of devices and evaluation boards.
IAR Embedded Workbench Version 5 for ARM offers core support for all current ARM devices, including ARM7, ARM9, ARM9E, ARM10E, ARM11, Cortex M1, Cortex M3, SecurCore, Intel XScale. Request a free brochure from IAR Systems ...
