IAR Systems enables Linux-based workflows for RISC-V

Stockholm, Sweden—December 17, 2020— IAR Systems®, the future-proof supplier of software tools and services for embedded development, releases an update of its RISC-V build tools supporting implementation in Linux-based frameworks for automated application build and test processes. This addition further extends IAR Systems’ offering for Linux.

Embedded applications are smarter, more feature-rich and more complex than even before, driving a need for more scalable and flexible software development environments. The RISC-V community now range from publicly funded research projects, all the way into some of the world’s largest corporations. What is true for all these organizations is a shared need for automated processes that ensure quality all the way from development into building and testing. IAR Systems’ build tools for Linux makes it possible 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 static analysis tool C-STAT is also included. 

“We have seen a huge demand for our newly released Build Tools for Linux for other architectures, which has led us to bring this opportunity also to RISC-V,” said Anders Holmberg, General Manager Embedded Development Tools, IAR Systems. “Streamlined development help optimize resources with regards to time spent developing and testing as well as license management and server utilization. Through the extended possibilities for building on Linux-based servers, we equip companies with streamlined workflows for enhanced productivity and strengthened team collaboration.”
