Now, developers looking to move to the ColdFire family of processors can access the flexibility and power of the RTXC Quadros RTOS and the efficiency and code density of the IAR Embedded Workbench development environment.



IAR Embedded Workbench is a set of highly sophisticated and easy-to-use development tools – C/C++ compiler, assembler, linker, librarian, text editor, project manager, and debugger – combined in an integrated development environment (IDE) for programming embedded applications. It generates very efficient and reliable FLASH/PROMable code for ColdFire devices.



The RTXC RTOS brings unique benefits to the ColdFire family of processors delivering powerful services in a very small code footprint. The RTOS-aware plug-in for IAR tools provides visibility into kernel objects during debug.

Quadros also provides extensive support for the full range of on-chip peripherals of the ColdFire processor family including USB kits, GUI development library; TCP/IP stack (v4/v6) with Fast Ethernet driver, IPsec/IKE with support for on-chip hardware acceleration, FlexCAN support and a high-performance fail-safe flash file system.



“Quadros Systems has been supporting Freescale ColdFire architectures for many years – and the 68K family before that,” said Mats Ullström, product director of IAR Systems.



He added, “IAR and Quadros already have have a strong relationship supporting other 32-bit architectures. We are excited to be able to extend our partnership into the ColdFire arena.”

“IAR has been a very strong tools partner for us,” added Stephen Martin, vice president of sales and marketing for Quadros. “Bringing the ease-of-use of the Embedded Workbench tools to the ColdFire family is good for us and our customers. In addition, as an IAR reseller, we can now provide a single point of contact for development tools, RTOS, stacks and middleware for ColdFire architectures.”
