IAR Systems®, a provider of software and services for embedded development, is streamlining the development of safety-critical commercial applications based on PX5's new real-time operating system with its proven toolset, the IAR Embedded Workbench.

IAR announced on the 30th that it fully supports the newly introduced PX5 real-time operating system (RTOS).

The PX5 Industrial RTOS is a cutting-edge fifth-generation RTOS designed for the most sophisticated and advanced embedded applications.

The PX5 RTOS enables embedded systems developers to manage real-time scheduling of multithreaded applications, while also improving the quality, safety, and security of embedded devices.

The PX5 RTOS is fully supported in the IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm®, enabling developers to seamlessly build and debug safety-critical commercial applications from source code through firmware using the integrated development environment (IDE).

This allows customers to benefit from faster time to market, improved device firmware quality, and portability across device platforms.

IAR Embedded Workbench is a complete development toolchain with a highly optimized compiler and advanced debugging capabilities.

Thousands of embedded developers worldwide use powerful, best-in-class optimizations. I highly recommend the IAR C/C++ Compiler™.

The PX5 RTOS has a small minimum footprint of approximately 1KB and automatically adjusts its size based on the application, enabling companies to reduce their bill of materials (BOM) by using smaller devices or adding more differentiated features to their existing platforms.

While the PX5 RTOS exhibits consistent characteristics regardless of system load, IAR's code analysis tools, C-STAT and C-RUN, aim for a reliably tested code base for demonstrable code quality.

For safety-critical applications, IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM is available in a functional safety version certified by TuV SuD and complies with the requirements of ISO 26262.
