IAR News Update February 2025
IAR joins the Zephyr project, reinforcing our commitment to open-source innovation
We are very proud to join the innovative community as a silver member of the Zephyr project. This partnership underscores IAR’s ongoing commitment to driving innovation in the embedded space by contributing to an open-source framework that powers next-generation real-time operating systems.
Through this collaboration, we will integrate our state-of-the-art development tools with the Zephyr RTOS, ensuring our solutions remain secure, efficient, and scalable for modern applications. This initiative not only enhances our technical offerings but also deepens our engagement with the global open-source community.
Key industry leaders recognize the impact of this collaboration:
"IAR’s tools will strengthen the Zephyr ecosystem for scalable solutions." – Brendon Slade, NXP Semiconductors
"IAR’s contributions will enhance Zephyr RTOS adoption in safety-critical domains." – Kate Stewart, The Linux Foundation
Experience it live at Embedded World 2025! Visit Booth 4-506 (March 11-13) for an exclusive preview of IAR’s Zephyr integration.

?New follow-up course in IAR Academy:
The behavior of IAR Assembler?
This course takes a closer look at the behavior of the IAR Assembler. First, we will examine why keeping code modules small is a good idea and how to do that with symbols and assembly directives.? Secondly, we will see how the assembler names these symbols and registers.? Then will look at how to supply C-Spy with call frame usage to enable debugging. We will also see how the assembler treats absolute versus relocatable expressions and how to modify the default behavior of the assembler with options and directives. Finally, we will see how to link assembly routines with the C application.
Discover the final blog post in our Armv8-M Series
The Arm Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M33 microcontrollers are designed to support modern applications while meeting growing demands for power, security, and efficiency. To dig deeper, we launched a three-part blog series exploring the capabilities of the Armv8-M architecture.
Part 3 explores TrustZone and Stack Protection in Arm Cortex-M23/M33 microcontrollers, ensuring secure and reliable operations. Learn how these features help separate secure and non-secure tasks while preventing stack overflows.
With embedded systems more connected than ever, security is essential. See how Armv8-M and IAR Embedded Trust strengthen embedded protection.
