Scale development operations with freedom and flexibility

Traditional licensing agreements often come with reduced flexibility for distributed development teams and limitations regarding supported architectures and processors, leading to additional costs. IAR’s new platform offering promotes modern workflows in embedded software development by supporting distributed teams of varying sizes to collaborate on private, public, and hybrid cloud spaces. Developers gain maximum freedom in their choice of devices and silicon partners, enabling them to build single- and multi-core systems on Arm, RISC-V, and several other legacy architectures, without vendor lock-in.

Simplify compliance & strengthen security

Additional flexibility is also provided when adapting to new and ever-evolving requirements. IAR’s cloud-enabled offering includes tools for implementing functional safety and security features in applications according to standards such as MISRA, IEC, and ISO. These tools are built for developers looking to simplify the complexities of safety- and security-critical projects. With IAR’s support, they can design safe and reliable software that is ready for strict industry-standard certifications.

Accelerate innovation with code confidence

With its comprehensive tools offering packaged into a convenient cloud-ready subscription model, IAR empowers embedded software developers to improve their code’s quality and performance and deploy their software faster. The seamless development workflows enabled by IAR's tools significantly increase efficiency, saving customers time and money and freeing up capacity for further innovation.

“IAR is transitioning from selling individual products with perpetual ownership to offering our entire toolbox in a platform, as a customer-friendly subscription service,” said Cecilia Wachtmeister, CEO of IAR. “The new cloud-enabled offering means lower initial costs for the customer and a high degree of flexibility and customization. Developers have all-access, and can collaborate globally, improve code quality, speed up time-to-market, and improve cost efficiency.”

In addition, since it is cloud-ready the new platform model enables continuous customer dialogue, allowing IAR to respond even faster and more effectively to customer needs and update tools more quickly. To continue delivering value to its customers, IAR will also foster its close cooperation with semiconductor vendors for early device support, long-standing RTOS partners, and major cloud service providers.

N'DJAMENA, Chad (AP) — At least 42 people were killed in eastern Chad after a clash between two families over a water point escalated into a cycle of reprisals, the country’s deputy prime minister said late Sunday.

Limane Mahamat said during a visit to the village of Igote, in the Wadi Fira province, near the border with Sudan, where the clashes occurred on Saturday, that 42 people were killed and 10 wounded. He said those injured were evacuated to the provincial health center.

Mahamat said the cycle of reprisals had spread over a fairly large area, prompting an intervention by the army. He said the “swift response” by the military helped contain the clashes and that the situation is now “under control."

The deputy prime minister announced the launch of a 'customary mediation' process in the village and of judicial proceedings to determine criminal responsibility.

Intercommunal clashes over resources are common in the Central African country. Last year, clashes between farmers and herders in southwestern Chad left 42 people dead and several homes burned.

Mahamat said the government will take “all necessary measures” to prevent a destabilization of the border area, where the clashes took place.

Chad's eastern provinces have for several months been hosting refugees fleeing the war in Sudan and are facing increasing pressure on resources and security. Hundreds of thousands of Sudanese refugees have poured across the border into Chad since the conflict began.

In February, Chad closed its border with Sudan “until further notice,” calling it an attempt to limit the spread of conflict into its territory after multiple crossings by fighters with the warring Sudanese factions.

The war in Sudan has killed more than 40,000 people, according to United Nations figures, but aid groups say the true number could be many times higher.

The conflict has created the world’s largest humanitarian crisis, with over 14 million people forced to flee their homes. It also has fueled disease outbreaks and pushed parts of Sudan into famine.
