IAR Systems Supports S08 Microcontrollers with Freescale

IAR Systems has launched its Embedded Workbench for Freescale S08, a version of its embedded development tool. The tool also provides support for Freescale’s Controller Continuum architecture by supporting the stepwise compatibility and easy migration from 8-bit S08 microcontrollers (MCUs) to 32-bit ColdFire devices. The workbench is a set of easy-to-use development tools for embedded applications. Each core product provides seamless integration with other tools in the complete IAR Systems tool chain. The workbench is an integrated development environment for building and debugging embedded applications, featuring automatic checking of MISRA C rules for security-critical applications. It builds the most compact and efficient code for the application, therefore saving chip memory and minimizing product cost, allowing more space for further product improvement and maintenance, and facilitating a longer product lifecycle. IAR Embedded Workbench also provides a flying start with ready-made device configuration files and example projects. The same user interface is employed across all supported MCU architectures, allowing the benefit of high code portability.



A free KickStart 8KB edition and a full 30-day evaluation edition of IAR Embedded Workbench for S08 will be available on 25 June.
