IAR Systems®, a global provider of software tools and services for embedded development, has improved the efficiency of automated build and test processes in frameworks built on Ubuntu, Red Hat, or Windows by supplying a new build tool.

IAR announced on the 12th that it is further expanding its product family for flexible automation workflows that support automated build functions by supplying IAR build tools for Arm that support Linux and Windows-based frameworks.

By utilizing this new tool, which supports a cross-platform based framework for automated application build and test processes, core software build and test tasks can be deployed at scale.

To ensure efficiency, software development environments need to be scalable and flexible.

Today's development practices also require companies to have automated processes that ensure excellent quality at all times, from the development stage to the build and testing stages.

By utilizing IAR build tools, these processes can be handled smoothly, and developers can not only optimize project time but also manage and utilize licenses and servers in an optimal manner.

IAR build tools provide the benefits of leading code quality, excellent size and speed optimization, and rapid build times.

This tool can be easily integrated into other build systems such as CMake and Ninja, and IARBuild, a command-line build utility, easily integrates with Continuous Integration (CI) engines such as Jenkins and Bamboo to streamline the build process.

Developers can ensure code quality throughout the development and testing process by using the static analysis tool C-STAT.

Anders Holmberg, CTO of IAR Systems, stated, “As the number of customers using CI/CD environments continues to grow, they can now use IAR build tools for Arm on their chosen platforms. Many customers have already highly appreciated the excellent efficiency and flexibility achieved using IAR build tools for Linux, and through the expansion of our product family to support a wider range of platforms, more customers will be able to integrate our powerful tools into automated build workflows.”
