IAR supports over 4,000 Renesas devices, helping embedded developers create efficient, secure, and compliant applications across the RA, RX, RL78, RZ, RH850, and RISC-V product families. This long-term collaboration continues to drive innovation and reliability in toolchains for a wide range of applications.
With the new releases, the RX and RL78 toolchains are fully aligned with the IAR platform, enabling smoother integration into CI/CD processes and modern DevOps workflows. Developers benefit from cloud-enabled licensing models, capacity-based builds, and compatibility with leading DevOps and CI/CD solutions such as GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins, and Kubernetes.
The IAR platform also supports cross-platform development on Windows, Ubuntu, and Red Hat, with full compatibility for Docker containers, virtual machines, and self-hosted runtimes. This flexibility allows distributed development teams to scale more efficiently, reduce infrastructure overhead, and optimize collaboration.
IAR's RX and RL78 toolchains are now available in safety-certified editions, helping organizations comply with international standards such as IEC 61508, ISO 26262, and IEC 62304. To further strengthen this offering, IAR aims to extend safety certification to the latest versions of these toolchains, helping to reduce the complexity of system certification and regulatory approvals, particularly in the automotive, industrial, and medical sectors.
As part of the IAR platform for integrated software development, these enhancements allow customers to unify development workflows across multiple architectures, including Arm (RA, RZ), RISC-V, and Renesas' proprietary MCUs.
