IAR supports Renesas MCUs

IAR Systems have announced that they support over 80% of Renesas Electronics' microcontrollers and also claim that no other software tool vendor can match this. IAR Systems believes that this makes IAR Embedded Workbench the standard tool chain for software development on Renesas Electronics' microcontrollers. Devices ranging from small low-power 4-bit devices to high performance 32-bit devices from Renesas are supported in IAR Embedded Workbench.

"Renesas Electronics has one of the widest selections of microcontrollers in the world. We are very proud to match the entire spectrum with our development tools", commented Stefan Skarin CEO, IAR Systems. "It allows our customers to standardize on one tool chain while keeping the flexibility to choose the hardware best fitting the needs of each project."

"IAR Systems' commitment to support all our different microcontroller families with the same tools is indeed unique", commented Hisashi Takahashi, General Manager of MCU Software Division, Renesas Electronics Corporation. "I am very happy that developers all over the world using our microcontroller products also can benefit from the reliable and powerful development tools IAR Systems is respected for."
