With its release of development tools for RISC-V processors, IAR Systems supports the ISO 26262 ASIL-D ready certified RISC-V processor core ‘EMSA5-FS’ of the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS. Users of the toolchain software will, therefore, benefit from simplified certification processes for functional safety, lowering costs over the complete product lifecycle and maximum performance in RISC-V-based applications. The new processor core is marketed by partner CAST Inc.
