IAR announced the release of the latest version 9.50.3 of its IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm, Functional Safety edition. The most important new feature in this release is the availability of the certified version of C-STAT, the static code analysis tool certified for safety-critical applications.
The latest IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm, Functional Safety Edition, complies with the specifications of the C++17 standard and adds new Arm core support for Cortex-M55, Cortex-M85, Cortex-R52+, Cortex-R82, Cortex-A32, enabling validated compliance with key functional safety standards such as IEC 61508, ISO 26262, and IEC 62304. It integrates powerful code analysis tools, IAR C-STAT for static analysis and IAR C-RUN for runtime analysis, to enhance software reliability and adherence to coding standards like MISRA C, CERT C, and CWE.
Certified by TÜV SÜD, the C-STAT tool is now also available as a certified version. The certified edition serves a critical role in helping developers maintain adherence to safety standards by performing thorough static analysis. It can detect a wide range of potential issues, including code vulnerabilities and deviations from coding standards such as MISRA C and CERT C. This proactive detection is crucial in avoiding costly and time-consuming fixes late in the development cycle, thus enhancing overall reliability and accelerating market introduction.
