Udvidet support af Renesas RX MCU'er

IAR Embedded Workbench understøtter nu de nye Renesas RX71M MCU'er, der retter sig mod industrielle IoT-applikationer (in english).

The support includes the new Renesas RX71M group with advanced security features for the industrial Internet of Things. Renesas’ RX71M group addresses the critical importance of security in embedded design for industrial equipment where connectivity is added to more and more applications. IAR Systems is the only tool vendor to provide high-performance tools for the entire line-up of Renesas MCUs. In total, more than 4,000 Renesas devices, including all RX devices, are supported by IAR Embedded Workbench.

With the new version of IAR Embedded Workbench for RX comes the possibility of having the IAR C/C++ Compiler generate both position-independent code and/or position-independent data. This feature is ideal for developers using operating systems where modules are built completely position-independent and can be located anywhere in memory.

The new version also includes enhancements to the already very efficient code optimization techniques. The optimizations for code size and execution speed provided by the IAR C/C++ Compiler perform on multiple levels, global as well as core/target-specific. The developer is able to tune the optimizations to achieve the best possible configuration for the application at hand.

Major functions of the optimizer, such as loop unrolling and function inlining, can be controlled individually, and by setting different optimizations for different parts of the code, the right balance between size and speed can be achieved.

Introduced in the C-SPY Debugger included with IAR Embedded Workbench is functionality for saving C-SPY Watch window content. Also added is an RTOS-awareness plugin for the Quadros RTXC realtime operating system.
