Feature

Unleash the power of automotive with embedded technology

In the automotive industry, embedded systems play a crucial role in creating intelligent vehicles. These systems enable vehicles to communicate with each other, preventing accidents, achieving autonomous navigation, and delivering a seamless and secure driving experience. As modern vehicles continue to incorporate an increasing number of features, automotive-embedded applications become more complex. 

Our comprehensive range of solutions is designed to address this complexity effectively. Whether it involves Human Machine Interface (HMI), Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), body electronics, multimedia, climate control, battery management, instrument clusters, or other automotive features, our solutions are tailored to meet your needs. 

With our development toolchain, we offer powerful code optimizations and rigorous code quality control, ensuring that your applications perform at their best while remaining robust. 

Notably, our tools are certified for functional safety according to ten different standards, including ISO 26262. This certification empowers you to develop compliant and secure automotive-embedded applications with confidence.

With IAR Visual State you can efficiently create graphical modelling and code generation with cross-platform host support on Linux and Windows. IAR Visual State generates very compact C/C++ code, 100% consistent with your design and MISRA C compliant.

Compliance

Ensure safety compliance from start

Our solutions are TÜV SÜD certified - you will save time and cost by selecting IAR 

tuv sud

As embedded systems grow more complex, functional safety becomes crucial, especially in industries like automotive where compliance is mandatory. 

Our functional safety editions are TÜV SÜD-certified, ensuring they meet the necessary standards for developing safety-critical applications. By choosing IAR as your development platform, you eliminate the need to independently evaluate the tool’s development process or conduct your own compliance testing. TÜV SÜD has already handled this, saving you both time and costs, so you can focus on your code and application features. 

Functional safety

Supported standards ISO 26262

ISO 26262 is used for automotive safety-related systems. The standard applies to electrical and electronic systems consisting of vehicle hardware and software components. The ISO 26262 standard ensures that sufficient levels of safety are being met and maintained throughout a vehicle's lifecycle.
