Across Every Automotive Domain, IAR's Trusted Technology Delivers
Instrument Cluster
Clear Visuals, Fast Performance, Simplified AUTOSAR Integration
MModern digital clusters, powered by Infineon TRAVEO™ T2G, AUTOSAR/MICROSAR stacks, MCALs, and TRAVEO™ DRIVECORE graphics, need deterministic performance and high reliability.
IAR brings safety-certified tools, powerful debugging, and highly optimized code generation to deliver fast, reliable cluster development with up to 29.8% higher performance for smoother UI and animations
Battery Management & EV Charging
Safety, Security, and Reliability for Electrification
Battery management and EV charging systems depend on secure, safety-driven platforms like Infineon PSOC™ 4 HV and NXP S32K.
IAR enhances these designs with embedded security, safety-certified workflows, and automated debugging and testing to ensure reliable and tamper-resistant BMS software, cutting build times by up to 50% in CI/CD pipelines
Body Control
Efficient Development for Zonal and Body ECUs
Body control modules span lighting, climate, locks, windows, and zonal architectures—typically using MCUs like Renesas RL78, Infineon PSOC™ 4 HV, and NXP S32M/S32K.
IAR accelerates development with seamless AUTOSAR/MCAL integration, TÜV SÜD-certified code quality tools, embedded security, and highly optimized code generation, cutting code size by 20–28% to lower BOM cost
ADAS & Autonomous Driving
ASIL D-Level Confidence, Built In
ADAS and autonomous systems require the highest levels of determinism and compliance. Platforms like SemiDrive E3, and Renesas RH850 rely on high-integrity development flows.
IAR provides the functional safety toolchain, certified code analysis, and CI/CD validation needed to build deterministic and certifiable ADAS applications, accelerating validation and saving up to 12 months compared to in-house toolchain qualification
Powertrain
Precision, Performance, and Strict Compliance
Powertrain control relies on precise real-time computing using MCUs such as Renesas RH850 and Microchip SAMC21.
With IAR's optimized compilers, real-time trace, and TUV SUD-certified safety tools, developers can ensure performance, efficiency, and full compliance, reducing MCU cost by up to 30% through better overall performance
Chassis Control & Safety
Where Deterministic Behavior and Safety Matter Most
ABS, ESC, and traction control run on Renesas RH850, ASIL-D SemiDrive E3, RL78 F2x, or STM8.
IAR supports these with TUV SUD-certified toolchains, trace, and error-free software development workflows, cutting defect-related cost by up to 25%
Digital Cockpit
Multi-Display, Multi-Core Made Simpler
Digital cockpit systems integrate multiple displays, cameras, and connectivity on advanced SoCs like SemiDrive E3, Microchip SAMA5D2x, and Renesas R-Car.
IAR simplifies integration with multi-core debugging, trace, and functional safety support that work seamlessly with MCALs and middleware, cutting debug effort by up to 80%
