IAR Embedded Workbench is available for more than 7,400 devices. The C/C++ compiler and debugger tool suite is a integrated development environment for developing, building, and debugging embedded applications with strong requirements on performance and reliability.

“Many of our customers demand tools from IAR Systems for their development projects, and we are very pleased to show that IAR Embedded Workbench provides excellent development tools for Thingsquare Mist-based solutions. As it supports such a huge and comprehensive bandwidth of devices suitable for smart systems, it will also help us to stay flexible in our hardware choice,” said Fredrik Osterlind, CTO at Thingsquare.
