IAR Systems adds C/C++ languages to Renesas RL78 tools
Swedish software company, IAR Systems has extended its tools for safety-related embedded software development with the new version of the functional safety edition of IAR Embedded Workbench for RL78 microcontrollers.
This edition has C18 and C++17 support, stack protection, and several integrated development environment (IDE) features for improved user experience. It is designed to enable low power applications of the low power microcontroller with safety and futureproof code.
The tools has local technical support teams worldwide. It continually updates the functional safety tools that it supplies for the 16-bit RL78 microcontrollers for as long as customers are using them.
The functional safety edition of IAR Embedded Workbench for Renesas RL78 is certified by TÜV SÜD according to the requirements of IEC 61508, for functional safety, and ISO 26262, which is used for automotive safety-related systems. It also covers the European railway standards EN 50128 and EN 50657, as well as IEC 62304 for medical device software.
All new versions of the product are validated and delivered as frozen versions. To ensure code quality, the integrated static code analysis C-STAT is available with the functional safety edition of IAR Embedded Workbench for RL78. C-STAT makes it possible for developers to detect defects and bugs in the code by checking compliance with rules as defined by MISRA C:2012, MISRA C++:2008 and MISRA C:2004, as well as checks mapping to hundreds of issues covered by CWE and CERT C/C++.
The Functional Safety Support and Update Agreement includes guaranteed and prioritised support for the longevity of the contract. In addition to Renesas RL78, IAR Embedded Workbench is available as functional safety editions for Renesas RX and RH850, as well as for Arm and STMicroelectronics’ STM8.
IAR Systems supplies futureproof software tools and services for embedded development. Since 1983, IAR Systems’ solutions have been used in the development of over one million embedded applications.
The company is headquartered in Uppsala, Sweden and has sales and support offices all over the world.
Since 2018, Secure Thingz, a provider of advanced security solutions for embedded systems in the IoT, has been part of IAR Systems Group.
