IAR Systems adds new features for Renesas’s RX developers
Benchmarks presented by the Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium (EEMBC) last year show that the Renesas Electronics RX600 series of microcontrollers (MCU) together with the IAR Embedded Workbench development tool suite provides faster performing code than ever before, achieving a score of 3.12 CoreMarks/MHz on the industry-standard EEMBC CoreMark benchmark.
The CoreMark benchmarks were run on an RX62N MCU. Based on Renesas’s RX core, the RX62N MCU is part of the wider RX600 series, which includes devices from 32 KB up to 2 MB of onboard flash and numerous variants, featuring a comprehensive set of on-chip communications and control functions.
The scores were achieved using the latest version of the IAR Embedded Workbench, V2.4.1 for RX, which was recently released and adds a 256 KB licensing option.
IAR Embedded Workbench is a full set of development tools for building and debugging embedded applications. It includes a project manager, editor, compiler, assembler, linker, debugger and library tools in a user-friendly integrated development environment. The V2.4.1 full tool suite reduces costs for small footprint applications and brings new features for all Renesas MCUs.
