IAR development tools support Fraunhofer IPMS RISC-V processor cores IAR System's development tools for RISC-V processors now offer support for the ISO 26262 ASIL-D ready certified RISC-V processor core 'EMSA5-FS' developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS. According to IAR, users of the toolchain software will benefit from simplified certification processes for functional safety, lower costs over the entire product lifecycle and maximum performance in RISC-V-based applications. The new EMSA5-FS processor core from Fraunhofer IPMS is marketed by partner CAST. Safety-relevant applications can be found everywhere across a host of applications and safety standards such as IEC 61508 are intended to guarantee that electronic systems meet the latest safety requirements. This also applies to the processors that are to be used in those systems. The choice of the development toolchain plays a crucial role and can directly influence the security integrity of those devices, so it is beneficial to choose a certified software development process that has been externally and independently checked.
