IAR Systems enables high-quality automotive applications with major updates in Renesas RH850 tools
IAR Embedded Workbench for Renesas RH850 strengthens stability and reliability in automotive embedded applications through C11 and C++14 support, stack protection, support for Renesas Smart Configurator and more
Uppsala, Sweden—September 19, 2018—IAR Systems®, the future-proof supplier of software tools and services for embedded development, presents a major update of its development tools for Renesas automotive-focused RH850 microcontrollers (MCUs). The latest version of the complete C/C++ compiler and debugger toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench® for Renesas RH850 offers boosted user experience and extended capabilities through a number of new features.
IAR Embedded Workbench for Renesas RH850 incorporates a compiler, a debugger, an assembler and a linker in one integrated development environment. It is available in several editions to suit different company needs, including a functional safety edition certified by TÜV SÜD according to IEC 61508, ISO 26262 and EN 50128. Renesas Electronics' RH850 automotive MCU family includes rich functional safety and embedded security features needed for advanced automotive applications. Version 2.10 of IAR Embedded Workbench for Renesas RH850 adds compliance with the latest C language standard ISO/IEC 9899:2011 and the latest C++ standard ISO/IEC 14882:2014, ensuring high-quality, future-proof code. Renowned for producing very efficient code, the IAR C/C++ Compiler™ in IAR Embedded Workbench for Renesas RH850 now supports stack protection and stack usage analysis functionality. Available as an add-on for the toolchain is the static analysis tool C-STAT®, which is now updated with a number of new checks. With these additions, developers building RH850-based applications are able to further strengthen code quality, stability and reliability in their embedded applications.
Automotive embedded applications are growing in complexity, which means it can be challenging to make a correct setup of peripherals from scratch. The Renesas Smart Configurator is a tool for combining software, automatically generating control programs for peripheral modules, and pin setting from the GUI with built-in cross-checks to avoid potential contention with multiplexed functions. In version 2.10 of IAR Embedded Workbench for Renesas RH850, automated code generation from Renesas Smart Configurator is made possible through the straight-forward project connection functionality.
