Uppsala, Sweden, June 26, 2023 - IAR, a global leader in embedded development software and services, is pleased to announce that it now fully supports the latest in the TRAVEO™ T2G body control MCU family from Infineon CYT6BJ series. IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm is a complete embedded development solution, equipped with highly optimized compiler and build tools, code analysis tools C-STAT and C-RUN, and powerful debugging functions. This enables developers working on complex automotive body electronics applications to take full advantage of the TRAVEO™ T2G MCU's capabilities to create innovative designs with high code quality. IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm supports AUTOSAR and provides a functional safety version to help customers accelerate product certification.
In the field of automotive body electronics applications, the 32-bit TRAVEO™ T2G Arm Cortex is favored by the market due to its high energy efficiency and wide scalability. This MCU family offers a high-performance family that supports the latest in-vehicle networking and embeds dedicated functions to enhance data security in the car, while also optimizing the memory footprint to ensure minimal memory usage. Since its launch in 2021, the MCU family has become the solution of choice for numerous automotive applications such as communication gateways, body control modules and climate control systems. The CYT6BJ series is the latest product of the MCU family, which expands the embedded flash memory to 16MB and is equipped with a quad-core Arm Cortex-M7, which meets the requirements of the ISO26262 ASIL B standard. With powerful performance, the high-end CYT6BJ series is especially suitable for demanding body electronics applications, extending the coverage of the TRAVEO™ T2G body control MCU family to mid- and low-end domain controllers for the new E/E architecture.
Clara Volkmar, Director Product Marketing Body and Driver Information, Infineon's Automotive Division, said: "Infineon's TRAVEO™ T2G microcontrollers provide a compact solution to meet the needs of modern automotive body electronics systems and can take advantage of IAR Professional and suitable third-party development tools such as Embedded Workbench for Arm to achieve efficient development. Thanks to such a powerful tool partner as IAR, developers can quickly realize their demanding automotive applications even with our latest CYT6BJ series chips project."
By supporting all available TRAVEO™ T2G series chips, including the latest CYT6BJ series, IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm ensures compatibility and provides developers with highly optimized build tools and advanced debugging features: such as complex code and data interrupts Points, runtime stack analysis, call stack visualization, code coverage analysis, and integrated monitoring of power consumption contribute to a seamless development experience. With the code analysis tools C-STAT and C-RUN, developers can fully control the code quality.
