IAR Systems Supports the Infineon XMC4500 High-Performance Microcontrollers for Energy-Efficient Industrial Applications
UPPSALA, Sweden - (BUSINESS WIRE) - IAR Systems (STO:IARB) today announced that its embedded software
development toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench now provides support for
the new XMC4500 microcontrollers from Infineon Technologies, including
examples for the modular Hexagon Development Kit.
The XMC4500 series of microcontrollers is dedicated to enable highly
energy-efficient products with industrial interconnection capabilities.
It features a configurable peripheral set, which allows setting up the
controller according to the specific use cases in the various parts of
an application. This is the first product generation from the XMC4000
microcontroller family, which is based on ARM Cortex -M4 processor. The
XMC4000 family is focused on energy-efficient industrial applications,
suitable for use in a variety of industrial applications including
electric drives, solar inverters, and the automation of manufacturing
and buildings.
"IAR Embedded Workbench is a widespread and important development
environment for embedded microcontrollers, and we are pleased to see a
strong commitment from IAR Systems for our XMC4000 microcontroller
family" , comments Stephan Zizala, Senior Director, Industrial and
Multimarket Microcontrollers at Infineon Technologies AG. "The ARM
Cortex -M4 processor-based XMC4000 family offers application-optimized
peripherals and outstanding real-time capabilities. The combination with
the highly optimized code generated by the IAR C/C++ Compiler is a
powerful solution for embedded applications."
Support for the XMC4500 series is included in IAR Embedded Workbench for
ARM from version 6.30.5. More information about IAR Embedded Workbench
for ARM is available at www.iar.com/ewarm.
