IAR Tools Add Support for Andes RISC-V Cores 15 hours ago IAR Systems has presented a new version of its professional development tools for RISC-V. With the latest release, the complete development toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench for RISC-V adds support for latest Andes RISC-V extension and devices, enabling maximized performance in RISC-V-based applications. IAR Embedded Workbench for RISC-V uses optimization technology to help developers ensure the application fits the required needs and optimize the utilization of on-board memory. With the support of the AndeStar V5 RISC-V Performance Extension, developers can use IAR Embedded Workbench to create applications with increased performance and reduced code size. The toolchain supports all Andes 32-bit V5 RISC-V cores, including the N22, N25F, D25F, A25, A27, N45, D45 and A45. The RISC-V Packed SIMD/DSP extension specification (RVP draft) and the corresponding intrinsic functions as well as Andes DSP libraries are supported.
