IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM v9.60.3 Build 7274 Win x64

Release notes for IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm version 9.60.3
CMake support
CMake files can now be directly read by the IAR Embedded Workbench IDE to populate the project manager view, allowing the flexibility of CMake to be mirrored in IAR Embedded Workbench and empowering the user with the IAR C-SPY debug experience as well as building. Enables support for importing, building, and debugging projects based on CMake in IAR Embedded Workbench.
Cortex-M52 support
Support for the new Cortex-M52 core based on the ARMv8.1-M architecture with features such as Helium MVE (M-profile Vector Extension) and Low Overhead loops.
C-STAT support for MISRA C:2023
MISRA C:2023, also known as MISRA C Third Edition, Second Revision, is now supported. It incorporates MISRA C:2012 amendments 2 (AMD2), 3 (AMD3) and 4 (AMD4), plus technical corrigendum 2 (TC2). MISRA C:2023 incorporates support for C11 and C18 language features
New and updated support for GCC's "Extensions to the C Programming Language"
The following GCC C language extensions are now supported by the compiler (requires IAR language extensions to be enabled):
- Additional support for __builtin function calls. If supported by the target core, these calls result in code generation using native instructions; else, they are transformed into library function calls.
- The attribute visibility is now supported in C.
- Support for arithmetic on void and function pointers (requires IAR language extensions).
- The __attribute__((__packed__)) construct can now be placed at the end of enum declarations
Support for additional GCC relaxations to ISO C
The following GCC C language extensions are now supported by the compiler (requires IAR language extensions to be enabled):
- In a function that has the return type void, a return statement can return a void expression. For example return (void)expr; (requires IAR language extensions).
- The error Pe042 ("operand types are incompatible") is now a soft error in more language constructs. By reducing the severity of this error and the errors Pe144 and Pe513, an application can mix void * and function pointers
Cortex-R52 single precision only mode
The compiler can now be configured to only support Cortex-R52 single precision mode.
J-Link: command line debug capability for CI/CD activities and debugging using VS Code on Linux and Windows
The Segger J-Link debug probe has been added to the C-SPY command line utility (cspybat) and the Runtime Analysis tool (C-RUN) on booth Linux and Windows.
Cortex-M55 and Cortex-M85 ETM trace
The debugger trace decoder now supports full instruction trace on the latest Arm Cortex-M cores.
SDM Debug Authentication
The C-SPY debugger now supports the Arm SDM (Secure Debug Manager) debug authentication method on I-jet, CMSIS-DAP and ST-LINK.
Experimental support for Sys V shared objects
Shared objects is a new type of output from the linker. It allows creation of shared libraries that can be dynamically loaded by an application. Use of shared objects requires the use of a dynamic loader/linker or something that can act like a dynamic linker. A dynamic linker can load shared objects into available memory and resolve references to and from them. Dynamic linkers are typically part of an operating system.
Experimental support for SARIF output
The SARIF output format is supported by the compiler, linker, assembler and C-STAT command line tools
Device support
New device support



IAR Embedded Workbench for ARMincorporates the IAR C/C++ Compiler, an assembler, a linker and the C-SPY Debugger into one completely integrated development environment. Powerful add-ons and integrations, including easy-to-use debugging and trace probes as well as integrated tools for static analysis and runtime analysis, add additional capabilities.
