Energy Micro has chosen IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM for inclusion in its EFM32 Gecko development kit.
All code examples for the EFM32 MCU supplied in the kit are based on the IAR Embedded Workbench, which incorporates IAR C/C++ Compiler for ARM Cortex-M3, assembler, linker and debugger.
A code optimiser is used to generate efficient flashable code for ARM Cortex-M3 devices.
According to Jørn Norheim, tools manager at Energy Micro: "The highly efficient code generated by IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM is the perfect complement for our EFM32 MCU."
"We see a growing demand for both ARM Cortex-M3 and very low power developments, so partnering with Energy Micro is a natural fit for us," said Mike Skrtic, partner manager at IAR Systems.
