Puran Semiconductor and IAR have reached a cooperation to bring excellent development experience to embedded developers

IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm fully supports Puran Semiconductor's 32-bit Arm® Cortex® - M0+/M4 series microcontrollers

Shanghai, China – October 11, 2023 – IAR, a global leader in embedded development software and services, and Purui Semiconductor jointly announced a partnership: IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm will fully support Purui Semiconductor's 32-bit Arm® Cortex® - M0+/M4 series microcontrollers. IAR will provide Purui with complete development tool support, including but not limited to code editing, compiling, debugging and other functions, enabling developers to fully utilize the potential of Purui MCUs, efficiently and quickly advance projects, and accelerate product launches.

Puran Semiconductor At the forefront of the industry, it focuses on providing low-power non-volatile memory (Flash/EEPROM) and MCU chips. Its MCU products are based on the powerful 32-bit Arm® Cortex® - M0+/M4 core, using high-performance Flash technology, and focusing on ultra-low power design. Puran Semiconductor has unique strengths, rich experience in solution development and a technical support team, and can provide customers with comprehensive technical documentation and software and hardware development support. Puran has established extensive sales channels in the Asia-Pacific region, established branches in Japan, South Korea and other places, and established cooperative agency channels in Vietnam, Singapore, India, Israel, Thailand and other places, which can provide better technical support to customers in the Asia-Pacific region.

At present, Puran Semiconductor has successfully launched a number of MCU products, including series equipped with 32-bit Arm® Cortex® - M0+ core, such as PY32F030/003/002B/L020 and PY32F072/040/031, and series equipped with 32-bit Arm® Cortex® - M4 core, such as PY32F403/303, etc. These products are widely used in many fields, including consumer electronics, Internet of Things (IoT), medical, industrial control, etc., providing a solid technical foundation for innovation and development in different industries.

IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm is the embedded software development solution of choice for tens of thousands of developers worldwide. This powerful tool suite not only features excellent code optimization capabilities to maximize the performance potential of the selected MCU, but also keeps the application energy efficient. The solution also provides a range of powerful debugging features, including flexible code and data breakpoints, runtime stack analysis, call stack visualization, code coverage analysis, and unlimited Flash breakpoints when used with IAR's hardware emulator I-jet. In addition, IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm also integrates the static code analysis tool C-STAT, which supports MISRA, CWE and CERT coding standards, and the dynamic code analysis tool C-RUN, which can be used to detect arithmetic errors, array access out of bounds and other issues. These features help developers find potential problems as early as possible in the daily development process, thereby improving code quality.

IAR also provides a functional safety version certified by TÜV SÜD, which meets ten functional safety certification standards such as ISO 26262, helping developers accelerate the development and certification of functional safety products and providing strong support for the development of safe and reliable embedded systems.

Cao Yuxin, Vice President of R&D at Purui Semiconductor said: "We are very pleased to reach this cooperation with IAR. IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm is recognized by the industry as a leader in embedded integrated development solutions. This cooperation will definitely bring more comprehensive development support to Purui MCU series products. Purui Semiconductor MCU series products are widely used in consumer wearables, small appliances, industrial IoT, medical, motor control, instrumentation and other fields."

Kiyo Uemura, Vice President of IAR Asia Pacific , said: "The cooperation between IAR and Puran Semiconductor will not only strengthen the strength of the domestic semiconductor field, but also actively promote the construction of the entire ecosystem. We will invest more resources and energy to fully support the efficient development of the domestic semiconductor industry. By providing professional development tool support, we not only help customers succeed, but also actively promote the prosperity of the ecosystem, jointly lead the wave of industry innovation, and contribute more to the vigorous development of the domestic semiconductor field."
