IAR Systems joins RISC-V Foundation
IAR Systems has joined the RISC-V Founda-
tion, a non-profit corporation controlled by
its members to drive the adoption and imple-
mentation of the open, free RISC-V instruc-
tion set architecture (ISA) forward, and will
contribute to the evolution of the RISC-V
ecosystem. The company has seen an increas-
ing demand from its customers to provide
tools for the RISC-V ISA and is responding

opment toolchain IAR EmbeddedWorkbench.
Infineon releases iMOTION motor control
IC series
Infineon Technologies is releasing the IMC100
series, a new family of iMOTION motor con-
trol ICs. It provides a ready-to-use solution
for the fast growing market of high efficiency
variable speed drives. By integrating both, the
required hardware and control algorithm, the
IMC100 enables the shortest time to market
for any motor system at the lowest system and
development cost.
Cypress: unified software suite to
accelerate IoT product designs
Cypress announced a unified software tool
suite that streamlines product designs for
the Internet of Things. The new ModusTool-
box suite delivers the rich design resources
of Cypress’ WICED IoT connectivity librar-
ies and the analog and digital peripherals
libraries of its PSoC microcontrollers within
the familiar, widely-deployed open-source
Eclipse Integrated Design Environments. The
software enables IoT developers to design
in the connectivity, processing, sensing and
security functionality they need, leveraging
the superb performance of Cypress’ Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth and combo solutions, as well as its
low-power, flexible and secure PSoC MCUs.
Developers can personalize their user expe-
rience in the software to meet the unique
requirements of their specific development
with plug-ins, libraries and solutions from
Cypress partners, as well as from the open
source community.
