June 11, 2012 -- IAR Systems AB has announced that its IAR Embedded Workbench C/C++ compiler and debugger tool suite for ARM provides the broadest support for the complete range of ARM Cortex cores.

IAR Systems supplies development tools for more ARM devices than any other embedded development tools vendor. The offer is now strengthened even further with support for five additional cores. The latest additions include the energy-efficient ARM Cortex-M0+ core, and the high-end cores ARM Cortex-R5, ARM Cortex-R7, ARM Cortex-A7, and ARM Cortex-A15.

The support provides users of IAR Systems with unique possibilities to freely choose among a large number of MCUs based on any ARM Cortex core, from all major manufacturers. They gain the flexibility to always use the device best-suited for their current needs, while being able to reuse code across projects and save cost for training, maintenance, and license management, improving efficiency and reducing time-to-market for new products.
