IAR Systems partnership with Atmel delivers tools support for AVR XMEGA
(Business News, 28 Apr 2008 )
IAR Systems has announced the launch of Version 5.10 of IAR Embedded Workbench for AVR, which now supports the new AVR XMEGA family of 8-bit microcontrollers from Atmel. This latest release is the result of a close partnership with Atmel during their development of XMEGA, and consolidates the position of IAR Embedded Workbench as the leading high-end C/C++ compiler for AVR.
IAR Embedded Workbench for AVR was originally developed by IAR Systems working closely in parallel with Atmel’s development of the AVR architecture, and this ensured maximum utilisation of the core’s capabilities and maximum code generation performance. This co-design initiative enabled IAR Embedded Workbench to establish a reputation as the professional development tool of choice for AVR developers – meeting their exacting standards for the performance and ease-of-use of their tools, as well as providing excellent third party support. The strong partnership between the two companies has continued, and ensures that IAR Systems can provide ongoing support for the latest devices and technology from Atmel.
