IAR Build Tools for RISC-V

Automated builds on Ubuntu, Red Hat or Windows using leading build tools from IAR Embedded Workbench for RISC-V.

The build tools include the IAR C/C++ Compiler, IAR Assembler, Linker and the command line build utility IARBuild for supporting cross-platform frameworks for automated application build and test processes. The build tools enable large-scale deployments of critical software building and testing.

Suitable for installations ranging from a few licenses on a small build server, to massive installations with several hundreds of parallel builds active at the same time.

The build tools support RV32 and RV32E 32-bit RISC-V cores and extensions, including RISC-V P extension for Packed-SIMD instructions. In addition, RV64 cores and the RV64I base instruction set are supported. The support for custom extensions helps when working with designing custom cores with exact definitions for an application or a product.

Support for modern and scalable build server topologies for CI/CD pipelines including Virtual Machines, Containers (Docker) and Self-hosted Runners.

Enabled by IAR Build Tools for Linux

Today’s development practices require automated processes to ensure quality, and to run builds and tests continuously. All changes, even minor ones, are merged back to the main branch or repository in a build server so they can be committed and validated in small steps to avoid the integration nightmare to guarantee that all pieces work together just before a release. Merges are done as often as possible or at least once a day.

Many companies are bringing this approach to the next level by adding automated release processes and deployment of the application at any time.

Build servers and build farms require flexible and high-performance environments. By using our build tools for Linux, you are able to use Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery in Linux environments natively or as virtual machines or containers with high performance. This allows you to focus on the source code and not worry about time-consuming manual tasks, while errors are caught automatically.

IAR Systems are constantly updating and refining our tools with new features, new device support and extended capabilities.

Latest Version: 3.10

64-bit RISC-V core support

• Support for RV64 RISC-V cores and the RV64I base instruction set
• Support for RV64 devices from Andes, Codasip, Microchip, Nuclei, and SiFive

Library support for the C++17 language standard

The toolset now includes a new C++ library that supports C++17 library features.

Cross-platform support

In addition to previous support for Ubuntu and Red Hat, the latest version also supports Windows.

Version: 2.11

IAR Build Tools for RISC-V now support Ubuntu and Redhat

The IAR Build Tools are validated to run on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 64-bit operating system, version 8 and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS x64 and later.

Device support

Support for the following devices has been added:

• NSI-TEXE NS31A
• Codasip L30, L30F, L50 and L50F

Streamlined development and test help optimize time spent developing and testing as well as license management and server utilization. Our build tools are suitable for installations ranging from a few licenses on a small build server, to massive installations with several hundreds of parallel builds active at the same time.

By standardizing on flexible and high performance development tools, companies can benefit from improved license and cost management while improving collaboration and enhancing productivity. For engineering teams and individual engineers, there is a lot to gain from having access to an uninterrupted workflow. In addition, we provide global technical support, and flexible training programs.

Standardize on future-proof tools and services and gain a robust, flexible and complete platform for all aspects of embedded software development.
