Optimizing embedded development with CI/CD automation

Traditional embedded development relies on manual testing and fragmented toolchains, leading to inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and higher costs. Long build times and lack of automation slow development cycles and delay time-to-market.

IAR’s embedded CI/CD-ready solutions streamline build, test, and deployment, enabling faster iterations, early error detection, and scalable validation. With pre-certified toolchains for functional safety, teams can accelerate compliance while reducing build times and improving efficiency.

IAR Build Tools for Ubuntu deliver 2x faster builds with optimized multi-core processing, while C-STAT static analysis runs 3.5x faster on Ubuntu than Windows. This means quicker iterations, shorter release cycles, and a more efficient development process.

Efficiency beyond speed: sustainability and DevOps integration

Optimized build times reduce energy consumption and infrastructure costs, making development more sustainable. IAR’s CI/CD solutions integrate seamlessly with Kubernetes, Jenkins, GitHub, and GitLab, enabling continuous integration. Cross-platform support for Ubuntu, Red Hat, and Windows ensures flexibility, while Docker, virtual machines, and self-hosted runners simplify deployment.

By fully automating CI/CD workflows, IAR’s scalable build solutions help teams accelerate software delivery, improve reliability, and drive innovation while ensuring compliance and sustainability.
