IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM 8.50

IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM by IAR Systems is a professional integrated development environment (IDE) and toolchain for building, debugging, and optimizing embedded software on Arm-based microcontrollers and processors. It combines a highly optimizing C/C++ compiler, assembler, linker, and the C-SPY debugger in a unified workspace, recognized for generating compact, high-performance code across Arm Cortex-M, Cortex-R, and Cortex-A cores. The suite supports a broad range of devices from leading semiconductor vendors and helps teams deliver reliable firmware for applications from low-power IoT to safety-critical systems.

Key capabilities:

• Full-featured IDE with project management, smart editor, and device-specific configuration and startup code.
• Optimizing C/C++ compiler and libraries tuned for size and speed, with support for Arm/Thumb/Thumb-2, hardware floating point, DSP/SIMD extensions, and Armv8-M TrustZone.
• C-SPY debugger with real-time watch, peripheral and memory views, RTOS awareness (e.g., FreeRTOS), and trace/profiling when paired with supported probes and on-chip trace (ETM/SWO).
• Built-in code quality tools: C-STAT static analysis and C-RUN runtime analysis to enforce coding standards (such as MISRA and CERT) and catch defects early.
• Extensive device coverage, CMSIS compatibility, example projects, and board support to accelerate bring-up.
• Command-line build tools for automated CI/CD on Windows and Linux servers, plus integration with common version control systems.
• Functional Safety editions certified by TÜV SÜD for standards including ISO 26262, IEC 61508, IEC 62304, and EN 50128.
• Flexible licensing options and dedicated technical support.

IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM provides a mature, dependable toolchain that helps embedded teams ship efficient, maintainable, and standards-compliant firmware faster.
