IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm 9.30 now fully supports Geehy Semiconductor’s APM32 series MCU chips, which are widely used in smart homes, high-end consumer electronics, automotive electronics, industrial control, smart energy, and other fields.

Shanghai, China – July 13, 2022 — Geehy Semiconductor, a leading IC design company dedicated to developing industrial and automotive grade microprocessors in China, and IAR Systems, the world’s leading supplier of embedded development software tools and services, together announced that the latest released IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm 9.30 now fully supports Geehy Semiconductor’s APM32 series MCU chips.

The APM32 series industrial & automotive-grade MCUs with high performance, high integration, and low power consumption are widely used in smart homes, high-end consumer electronics, automotive electronics, industrial control, smart energy, and other fields with high safety and reliability requirements. Based on Arm® Cortex®-M0+/M3/M4 cores, these MCUs have powerful computing performance and enhanced storage, rich co-processing functions, and flexible user experience. It can help users shorten product design time, reduce R&D costs and optimize product performance.

IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm provides a complete tool chain for Geehy Semiconductor’s MCU. The tool chain includes highly optimized compiler. For instance, the highly flexible and optimized options and functions of compiler can satisfy and realize optimization of specific requirements in different applications. The tool chain also includes advanced debugging function, such as flexible code and data breakpoints, run time stack analysis and call stack visualization. Leveraging code analysis tools C-STAT and C-RUN, developers can enhance code quality in daily development process. For enterprises with high function security requirements, IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm provides a version that is certified via TÜV SÜD and meets related function security standards. In addition, IAR Systems' technical support, training services and flexible licensing model enable all customers to find a solution that fits their specific needs and use IAR development tools smoothly.

Kiyo Uemura, APAC Director of IAR Systems, said: “Geehy Semiconductor is a leading MCU manufacturer in China, and we see more and more IAR users from China and other countries use Geehy Semiconductor’s chips. We are happy to cooperate with Geehy Semiconductor. On the strength of our powerful tool chain, IAR Systems can help Geehy Semiconductor’s MCU customers fully explore potential of MCU, and provide comprehensive tool chain support for Geehy Semiconductor’s MCU. IAR Systems promises to provide continuous support for users, so as to ensure that users can use IAR tool chain for a long period of time and timely access technical support & service for IAR tools, thus safeguarding customers’ R&D work.

“IAR Systems is the world's leading provider of software and services for the development of embedded systems, and we are so honored to collaborate with IAR Systems," said Tao Liu, Product Director of Geehy Semiconductor, “All of our APM32 series MCUs are now fully supported by IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm 9.30, which will help us to serve our domestic and international customers better. Geehy always insists on cooperation and innovation with MCU industry eco-partners, and actively builds a complete eco-environment to provide customers with comprehensive support from chip hardware to software algorithm, from reference solution to system design."
