IAR Safety Certified Toolsuite for ARM & Cortex

IAR's leading Embedded Workbench toolsuite for ARM & Cortex has passed the IEC-61508 and ISO-26262 safety certifications and is in use for many systems that have already passed certifications upto SIL-3.

A good example of a Cortex-based safety critical MCU is TI's Hercules family. At INDES we have both experience and in-house hard- and software platform for this advanced lock-step multi-core safety MCU.

The IAR Embedded Workbench has also been used in many other systems developed with ARM- and Cortex based MCU's that have sucessfully passed formal safety certification.

IAR's Embedded Workbench with its optimizing C/C++ compiler is an integrated development environment for building and debugging a wide range of ARM- and Cortex based embedded applications. It provides extensive support for a wide range of ARM devices, hardware debug systems and RTOSs and generates very compact and efficient code. Ready-made device configuration files, flash loaders and over 3100 example projects are included.

IAR Embedded Workbench is compatible with other ARM EABI compliant compilers and supports the following ARM cores:
