In February 2024, IAR launched the latest version 9.50.3 of its flagship IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm, Functional Safety edition, supporting developers to create safe, secure, and standard-compliant embedded applications for a wide range of industries, including automotive, medical devices, industrial automation, and consumer electronics.
This version complies with the specifications of the C++17 standard and adds new Arm core support for Cortex-M55, Cortex-M85, Cortex-R52+, Cortex-R82, Cortex-A32, enabling validated compliance with key functional safety standards such as IEC 61508, ISO 26262, and IEC 62304. The new version integrates powerful code analysis tools, including IAR C-STAT for static analysis, which has been certified by TÜV SÜD, and IAR C-RUN for runtime analysis, to effectively enhance software reliability and adherence to coding standards like MISRA C, CERT C, and CWE.
The IAR solution supports modern development practices, including Continuous Integration (CI) and automated builds, catering to the needs of today's fast-paced development cycles. With support for scalable build server topologies across various platforms, such as Linux (Ubuntu and Red Hat) and Windows, the toolchain integrates seamlessly into existing development environments.
