IAR, a global provider of software and services for embedded development, accelerates code quality automation with a multi-architecture certified static analysis tool.

IAR announced today the release of the TUV SUD certified Functional Safety Edition of the C-STAT static analysis tool for IAR Embedded Workbench for RISC-V V3.30.2.

TUV SUD certified C-STAT integrated in IAR Functional Safety Edition is now available for Arm, RISC-V and Renesas RL78 architectures.

TÜV SÜD certifies that IAR C-STAT meets stringent functional safety standards. The certification includes a comprehensive safety guide detailing the relevant standards and regulations, as well as a new IAR C-STAT compliance report.

“We are excited to announce the release of the TÜV SÜD-certified C-STAT static analysis tool for the latest IAR Embedded Workbench RISC-V Functional Safety Edition,” said Anders Holmberg, CTO at IAR. “C-STAT accelerates automation of code quality in multi-architecture projects and supports Arm, RISC-V, and Renesas RL78. TÜV SÜD certification provides users with critical compliance and reliability information by ensuring that C-STAT meets rigorous functional safety standards. “By integrating static analysis with CI workflows, this newly updated functional safety edition seamlessly improves software quality and security across a variety of projects and architectures,” he said.

The updated functional safety edition and TÜV SÜD certified C-STAT enhance software quality and security by integrating static analysis to detect potential errors and coding standard violations early in the development process. This integration helps developers ensure compliance and saves valuable time and resources.

The latest IAR Embedded Workbench Functional Safety Edition for RISC-V also adds support for new RISC-V ISA extensions such as Zc (Code Size Reduction), Zk (Encryption), Zfinx (Floating Point in Integer Registers), and CMO (Cache Management Operations). It features an automatic packing assembler, optimized library functions, and improved code generation, giving developers the tools they need for effective software development.

IAR supports modern development practices, including continuous integration (CI) and automated builds on platforms such as Linux (Ubuntu and Red Hat) and Windows. These toolchains also integrate seamlessly into existing environments.

In embedded software, automating software quality, safety, and security is critical. Certified tools like C-STAT help developers deliver better software faster, ensuring regulatory compliance and system integrity. Choosing a pre-certified solution saves time and money, allowing developers to focus more on code and application functionality.
