Earlier this year, IAR Systems and GigaDevice announced their partnership for RISC-V. and this has now been extended into delivering development tools for Arm Cortex-M3, Cortex-M4, Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M33 MCUs, enabling high-quality embedded applications for a wide range of industries.
GigaDevice’s GD32 family of high-performance, low-power, and cost-effective universal microcontrollers are powered by the Arm Cortex-M3, Cortex-M4, Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M33 cores. The GD32 MCU product family incorporates GigaDevice’s advanced patented gFlash memory technology, providing extended functionality and design flexibility.
IAR's Embedded Workbench for Arm provides developers with everything they need in one easy-to-use integrated development environment. The toolchain is able to offer extensive debugging and analysis possibilities such as complex code and data breakpoints, runtime stack analysis, call stack visualization, code coverage analysis and integrated monitoring of power consumption. To ensure code quality, the static code analysis tool C-STAT and the runtime analysis tool C-RUN are integrated.
“We see a huge interest for GigaDevice’s GD32 MCUs thanks to our stable and consistent offering, and the fact that our customers are now able to use IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm is a major step forward in maximizing the performance of the MCUs,” said Eric Jin, Product Marketing Director, GigaDevice. “Thanks to the partnership with IAR Systems, we ensure our customer access to not only high-performance, cost-effective microcontrollers, but also tools that make our microcontrollers perform at their best.”
Commenting Anders Holmberg, General Manager Embedded Development Tools, IAR Systems said, “GigaDevice is becoming an increasingly important player in the embedded industry and we are working close together to ensure powerful and flexible solutions on a broad scale covering both RISC-V and Arm-based applications.”
