IAR Systems introduces support for 64-bit Arm cores IAR Systems has announced that its C/C++ development toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm is now able to support 64-bit Arm cores including Arm Cortex-A35, Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A55. At a time when more applications are being based on 64-bit cores, specifically within low-power applications, deeply embedded and handheld devices, the Embedded Workbench provides customers with diverse microcontroller support as well as adapted licensing options to fit different organisations' needs By supporting leading-edge designs needing the performance from 64-bit Arm cores, IAR Systems can enable its customers to make use of the toolchainâs optimisation technology also for 64-bit devices. In addition, integrated code analysis tools ensure code quality, and for simplified functional safety certification, a pre-certified version of the toolchain is available.
