Embedded software building on Linux is efficient

IAR SYSTEMS Embedded Workbench C/C++ compiler and debugger software toolchain provides users with diverse microcontroller support, as well as adapted licensing options to fit different organizations’ needs. This flexibility is now extended to the build environment as the well-known build tools in IAR Embedded Workbench now support Linux. The tools offer leading code quality, outstanding optimizations for size and speed, and fast build times. Supporting implementation in Linux-based frameworks for automated application build and test processes, the tools enable large-scale deployments of critical software building and testing and is suitable for installations ranging from a few licenses on a small build server, to massive installations with several hundreds of parallel builds active at the same time.
