IAR Systems®, the world's leading provider of embedded development software tools and services, today announced that the latest version of IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm supports a huge lineup of microcontrollers (MCUs) that have added a new product: NXP's S32K3 MCU series. The S32K3 MCU is designed for evolving body electronic systems, battery management, and regional and domain controllers. The expanded MCU support will help developers maximize application performance, maintain a high level of code quality, and achieve functional safety compliance in their automotive designs.
Today's automobiles are becoming more and more abundant, and automobile embedded systems are becoming more and more complex. This requires development tools to help the company maximize the capabilities of the selected MCU without affecting the efficiency of the workflow. IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm provides powerful optimization, comprehensive debugging functions and integrated code analysis tools. In addition, the functional safety version of IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm is certified by T¨¹V S¨¹D and complies with ten standards, such as IEC 61508 and ISO 26262.
The S32K3 MCU is based on the Arm Cortex®-M7 core in single, dual and lockstep configurations, and supports ASIL B/D safety applications. Features include hardware security engine (HSE) with NXP firmware, support for over-the-air firmware upgrade (FOTA), and ISO 26262-compliant real-time driver (RTD) software for AUTOSAR and non-AUTOSAR. The above features are all in IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm Medium support.
Manuel Alves, general manager of NXP's automotive GPIS product line, said: "S32K3 is based on the successful experience of the existing S32K1 series and provides new functional safety, information security and software for automotive architecture design in a timely manner. IAR Systems has complete With its development tool chain, automotive expertise, and functional safety certification, it is natural to become a partner of NXP and the development of next-generation ECU customers."
Kiyofumi Uemura, Global Automotive Director of IAR Systems, said: ¡°IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm has achieved brilliant results in the automotive industry and has been widely adopted by many large auto parts suppliers. Thank you for your cooperation with NXP. Since the launch of the S32K1 series in 2017, we have been Provide support for it. By adding support for the new S32K3 series, we further expand our solutions for companies in the automotive industry."
