IAR Systems delivers efficient building and testing in Linux-based environments for Renesas RX MCUs

Stockholm, Sweden—November 16, 2020—IAR Systems, the future-proof supplier of software tools and services for embedded development, adds support for Renesas RX microcontrollers (MCUs) in build tools supporting implementation in Linux-based frameworks for automated application build and test processes. This addition further extends the company’s Linux offering.

Modern industrial applications are smarter, more feature-rich and more complex than even before. This drives a need in making the software development environments scalable and flexible. Today’s development practices also require that organizations have automated processes that ensure quality all the way from development into building and testing. IAR Build Tools for Linux streamline these processes and make it possible for organizations to optimize resources when it comes to the time developers spend in their projects, as well as to manage and utilize licenses and servers in an optimal way. The tools also support the integrated static analysis tool C-STAT.

“Renesas RX microcontrollers are widely used in both small- and large-scale applications and we aim to provide the best development experience for this diverse customer base. IAR Systems’ easy-to-use build tools for Linux help us deliver a powerful and scalable solution throughout the development process, enabling our customers to build and test more efficiently,” said Daryl Khoo, Vice President, Marketing, IoT Platform Business Division, Renesas.
