IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm version 9.30.1

The IAR Systems development team is pleased to announce the availability of IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm version 9.30.1. Easy migration from 32-bit to 64-bit architectures paves the way for future-proof embedded development with the complete development toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench.

Release notes for IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm version 9.30.1

Highlights

Arm Cortex-M85 support
- Support for the new high performance Cortex-M85 core based on the ARMv8.1-M architecture with features such as MVE (the Helium M-profile Vector Extension) and Low Overhead loops.
Arm Cortex-M Custom Instructions support
- The support for Armv8-M has been extended with instructions and intrinsic functions for CDE (Custom Datapath Extension). This new Arm Cortex-M extension enables silicon designers to add custom instructions to their devices.
Cortex-R52+ support
- Support for the second generation Cortex-R52.
Extended Armv8-A support
- The support for Armv8-A has been extended to cover up to revision 4 (Armv8.4-A).
Library support for the C++17 language standard
- The toolset now includes a new C++ library that supports C++17 library features. See the compiler release notes for more details.
Additional GNU C language extensions
- The GCC typeof operator and C extension "Cast to Union Type" are now supported. See the compiler release notes for more details.
Editor and IDE enhancements
- Window color themes - for example Dark Mode
- Improved support for graying out inactive code
Visual Studio Code support
The IAR Build and IAR C-SPY Debug extensions available on Microsoft Marketplace enable you to work in Visual Studio Code (with IAR Embedded Workbench installed) to:
- Build IAR Embedded Workbench projects
- Run the C-STAT static analysis tool
- Debug applications using the same range of hardware/debug probes as in IAR Embedded Workbench

IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM incorporates the IAR C/C++ Compiler, an assembler, a linker and the C-SPY Debugger into one completely integrated development environment. Powerful add-ons and integrations, including easy-to-use debugging and trace probes as well as integrated tools for static analysis and runtime analysis, add additional capabilities.

In this video, you get a demo of how to work with integrated code analysis in IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm. C-STAT static analysis and C-RUN runtime analysis are available as add-ons to bring code quality control to the desk of every developer.
