IAR Systems announced it has added support for Renesas RX MCU in build tools, which supports the implementation in Linux-based frameworks for automated application build and test processes.

The build tools that were developed by IAR for Linux streamline processes and help optimize resources, as well as manage and utilize licenses and servers. Per a company press release, the tools can be integrated into different build systems that include CMake or Ninja. Further, the command line build utility, IARBuild, streamlines building for easy integration with continuous integration engines like Jenkins and Bamboo.

Per the same release, IAR’s Build Tools for Linux include IAR C/C++ Compiler™, IAR Assembler, Linker and library tools, IARBuild, and runtime libraries. The IAR C/C++ Compiler adheres to a freestanding implementation of the C18 (ISO/IEC 9899:2018) programming language standard and supports all C++17 features. In addition, C++14 (ISO/IEC 14882:2015), C11 (ISO/IEC 9899:2012), C89 (ANSI X3.159-1989), and the IEEE 754 standard for floating-point arithmetic are supported.
