IAR Build Tools for Renesas RX
Our well-known build tools in IAR Embedded Workbench for Renesas RX are available in a version supporting Ubuntu, Red Hat or Windows. These tools offer leading code quality, outstanding optimizations for size and speed, and fast build times.
01
Cross-platform support
Complete build tools for Renesas RX, including IAR C/C++ Compiler, IAR Assembler, Linker, and the command line build utility IARBuild, supporting implementation in cross-platform-based frameworks for automated application build and test processes. The build tools enable large-scale deployments of critical software building and testing for Human Machine Interface (HMI), Industrial Automation, and Wireless Connectivity applications.
02
Flexible and high performance
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. By standardizing on flexible and high performance development tools, companies can benefit from improved license and cost management while improving collaboration and enhancing productivity.
03
Leading code optimizations
The sophisticated IAR optimization technology generates very compact and fast code for Renesas RX. In average, the IAR Build Tools for Linux and IAR Embedded Workbench for Renesas RX generate 27 % smaller code than CC RX and 27 % smaller code than GCC.
04
Modern workflows with cross-platform benefit
Support for modern and scalable build server topologies on Ubuntu, Red Hat and Windows for CI/CD pipelines including Virtual Machines, Containers (Docker) and Self-hosted Runners.
05
On-demand training included
When you buy a license of IAR Build Tools for Linux for Renesas RX, you get access to free training courses through our IAR Academy on Demand offering.
Efficient workflows
Enabled by IAR Build Tools
Today's development practices require automated processes to ensure quality, and to run builds and tests continuously. All changes, even minor ones, are merged back to the main branch or repository in a build server so they can be committed and validated in small steps to avoid the integration nightmare to guarantee that all pieces work together just before a release. Merges are done as often as possible or at least once a day.
Many companies are bringing this approach to the next level by adding automated release processes and deployment of the application at any time.
Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery
Build servers and build farms require flexible and high-performance environments. By using our build tools, you are able to use Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery in cross-platform environments natively or as virtual machines or containers with high performance. This allows you to focus on the source code and not worry about time-consuming manual tasks, while errors are caught automatically.
Latest releases
We are constantly updating and refining our tools with new features, new device support and extended capabilities.
Latest version: 5.10
Library support for the C++17 language standard
The toolset includes a new C++ library that supports C++17 library features.
Additional GNU C language extensions
The IAR C/C++ Compiler supports a number of new GCC-style operators, attributes and expressions in extended language mode.
RX660 and RX26T supported
The RX660 and RX26T groups of microcontrollers are now supported.
Iarbuild enhancements
The iarbuild command line build utility now supports:
- Generating a Ninja build file based on the IAR Embedded Workbench project format
- Generating a JSON description of the Embedded Workbench project
- More C-STAT reporting and configuration methods
C-STAT enhancements
- MISRA C:2012 Amendment 2
The static analysis tool C-STAT has extended its coverage of the MISRA C:2012 Coding Standard and now fully supports MISRA C:2012 Amendment 2. This Amendment adds two additional rules to MISRA C:2012 and introduces support for ISO/IEC 9899:2011, commonly referred to as "C11". - Improved performance
Depending on the project, the analysis can be up to 40% faster and memory consumption reduced by up to 20%, compared to the previous version of C-STAT.
Updated device support
The device support files have been updated to the most recent version from Renesas.
Updated user documentation
The C/C++ Development Guide, C-SPY Debugging Guide, and IDE Project Management and Building Guide have been updated to reflect the product changes.

IAR Build Tools for Linux
This new product is called IAR Build Tools for Renesas RX and requires a separate product license. It is distributed as a Debian package for Ubuntu containing the IAR C/C++ Compiler, IAR Assembler, Linker and library tools, C-STAT, IARBuild, and runtime libraries.
MISRA C:2012 Amendment 1
The static analysis tool C-STAT has extended its coverage of the MISRA C:2012 Coding Standard and now fully supports MISRA C:2012 Amendment 1. This amendment adds 14 additional rules to MISRA C:2012 with a focus on security concerns highlighted by the ISO C Secure Guidelines. Several of these address specific issues pertaining to the use of untrustworthy data, a well-known security vulnerability.
Extended coverage of CERT C
The static analysis tool C-STAT has extended its coverage of the SEI CERT C Coding Standard. The SEI CERT C Coding Standard's goal is to provide rules for developing safe, reliable, and secure systems in the C programming language, with support for C11 constructs. C-STAT covers all rules in the different CERT C sections listed on the CERT C wiki as of January 2020, with the exception of the API, CON, POS, and WIN sections, which are not applicable to IAR Systems products, yielding a total of 90 covered rules.
Link analysis trace information
The link analysis messages now display trace information when relevant. For checks looking for conflicting symbol names, all conflicting declarations are now listed in the trace information instead of each pair of conflicts being described in a separate message. This might lead to fewer reported messages for the same number of found issues.
