IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM2 IAR SystemsEmbedded Workbench 8.5

IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM is a professional integrated development environment and C/C++ toolchain for building firmware on ARM-based microcontrollers and processors. It combines an optimizing compiler, assembler, linker, and an integrated, RTOS-aware debugger to help teams create fast, compact, and reliable embedded software across Cortex-M, Cortex-R, and Cortex-A devices.

Highlights:

• Highly optimizing C/C++ compiler focused on code size and performance
• Broad device support via CMSIS-Pack and vendor-specific libraries
• Integrated debugging with live watch, peripheral views, and trace/profiling where supported
• Code quality and safety tooling, including static analysis (C-STAT), runtime analysis (C-RUN), MISRA checks, code coverage, call graphs, and stack usage analysis
• Seamless use with popular debug probes and evaluation boards (for example, I-jet and J-Link)
• Command-line builds and CI/CD integration for automated testing and reproducible releases
• Project and configuration management suited to both prototyping and production workflows

This toolchain is well suited for applications in industrial control, automotive, medical devices, and IoT, where predictable performance, small memory footprints, and compliance with coding standards are priorities.
