IAR Systems announces that its development toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM provides excellent performance and multicore debugging for the new ultra-low-power LPC54100 microcontroller series from NXP Semiconductor. The series is targeted for applications with demands on always-on sensor processing and high sensor density, typically seen within implementations for wearable health and fitness applications, gaming, and industrial applications such as environmental monitoring, home and building automation, lighting and robotics.
IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM includes leading code optimization techniques that produce the fastest performing code on the market. The fast performing code has a significant impact on keeping the applications power consumption to a minimum. Using IAR Systems probe I-scope, developers can also test and tune their applications for power optimization and extend battery lifetime by learning the power consumed by individual modules and detect code design flaws causing unnecessary power consumption.
The LPC54100 series features an asymmetric dual-core architecture based on ARM Cortex-M4F and ARM Cortex-M0+. For maximal power/performance efficiency, developers can use the low-power ARM Cortex-M0+ core for sensor data collection, aggregation, and external communications and the ARM Cortex-M4F core for more math-intensive algorithms.
"We are excited to see early tools support in IAR Embedded Workbench for our new LPC54100 series microcontrollers," says Brendon Slade, Director, Tools and Embedded Ecosystems, Microcontroller business line, NXP. "The advanced code optimization capabilities along with power analysis features enable users to extract the full potential of the LPC54100 series for always-on sensor processing applications, such as wearables, mobile devices, gaming, robotics, and more."
IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM is a complete set of tools for developing embedded applications. It features the powerful IAR C/C++ Compiler as well as the C-SPY Debugger with multicore debugging and a broad selection of user-friendly features such as performance profiling, stack analysis, code coverage and power profiling. The tools are complemented by a range of integrated probes for in-circuit debugging and trace. IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM is available in several versions, including a product package that is designed specifically for the ARM Cortex-M core family.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
