IAR Build Tools for Linux, TÜV SÜD Functional Safety
Certified to save project time and resources
Meets requirements such as IEC 61508 and ISO 26262


IAR Systems announced on the 10th that its build tools, which support the construction of Linux-based frameworks, have received functional safety development certification from TÜV SÜD. The certification applies to IAR Build Tools for Linux for Arm®, which support Linux development on Arm® processors.

This meets the requirements of 'IEC 61508', an international standard for functional safety, and 'ISO 26262', which applies to automotive safety-related systems. In addition, it encompasses the international standard for medical software, 'IEC 62304', the standard for home appliances, 'IEC 60730', the standard for machine control systems, 'IEC 62061', the standard for process industries, 'IEC 61511', the standard for agriculture and forestry, and the European railway standards 'EN 50128' and 'EN 50657'.

IAR build tools for Linux allow developers to optimize the time and resources they invest in their projects, while also enabling optimal license and server management and utilization. They also integrate with various build systems, including CMake and Ninja. The command-line development utility IARBuild simplifies the build process, enabling easy integration with continuous integration (CI) engines like Jenkins and Bamboo, as well as Docker containers.

The integrated static analysis tool 'C-STAT®' can help you maintain code quality throughout the development and testing process. C-STAT proves that the code complies with industry standards such as 'MISRA C:2021', 'MISRA C++:2008', and 'MISRA C:2004', and detects various defects, bugs, and security vulnerabilities specified in CERT C and the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE).

The IAR build tools for Linux include various tools that achieve a high level of optimization, such as the 'IAR C/C++ Compiler™', 'IAR Assembler', 'Linker', library tools, and IAR build and runtime libraries.

The IAR C/C++ compiler implements its own C18 (ISO/IEC 9899:2018) programming language standard and supports all features of C++17. It also supports C++14 (ISO/IEC 14882:2015), C11 (ISO/IEC 9899:2012), C89 (ANSI X3.159-1989), and the IEEE 754 standard for floating-point operations.

IAR Systems has also introduced 64-bit device support to its IAR build tools for Linux.

IAR Build Functional Safety Edition for Linux includes a functional safety certificate, a safety report issued by TÜV SÜD, and safety guidelines. For this certified tool, IAR Systems offers a functional safety support and update contract, guaranteeing support for the purchased version for the contract period. Under the contract, users receive priority technical support, access to verified service packs, and regular reports on reported issues.
