The partnership between IAR Systems and Alif Semiconductor accelerates innovation in the embedded space through strong artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities.
IAR Systems announced that its leading development solutions for Arm now support the Ensemble and Crescendo families of AI-enabled, power-efficient microcontrollers (MCUs) and fusion processors from Alif Semiconductor. The renowned development toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm brings high performance and strong code optimisations capabilities to companies choosing Ensemble or Crescendo devices.
Alif Semiconductor’s power-efficient product families scale by offering up to four processing cores plus AI/ML acceleration, multi-layered security, integrated LTE Cat-M1 and NB-IoT connectivity, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) positioning and much more. IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm provides powerful code optimisations to assist developers in getting the most out of the performance of a device and yet stay as energy-efficient as possible.
“Alif Semiconductor’s high level of functional integration delivers single-chip IoT systems to developers,” said Mark Rootz, Sr. Marketing Director, Alif Semiconductor. “By partnering with IAR Systems to enable our customers to benefit from their world-class tools, we can ensure that the applications they create can benefit from some of the most powerful optimisation technology in the industry.”
“IAR Systems and Alif Semiconductor are working together to enable the next generation of embedded connected applications,” said Anders Lundgren, Product Manager. “Our development tools for Arm features leading compiler technology, with optimisations for both code size and speed, and high-performance debugging, provide a great platform for companies to maximise the potential of Alif’s AI-enabled Ensemble and Crescendo products.”
