IAR Systems has added to support for Atmel’s AT91SAM family of ARM-based flash microcontrollers and embedded microprocessors in the latest release of IAR Embedded Workbench.

Version 5.30 of the embedded workbench for ARM has enhanced debug facilities including views of core and peripheral registers for all AT91SAM devices, initialisation scripts for AT91SAM devices and all compatible external memories, and debug features in embedded flash memory.

Application deployment is made more efficient by single-click programming options for all memory types (embedded Flash, external NAND, NOR, EEPROM and serial Flash). The source code for these programming algorithms is available, ready to be updated for new memory configurations. Source code is also available for a second-level boot loader, enabling it to be modified for different memory implementations.

Over 700 fully documented project examples are available from the IAR Systems website for the various supported AT91SAM devices, each with options for all possible memory configurations. These can be cloned to form the starting point of applications.
