IAR Systems® announced a new version of its complete embedded development toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench® for Renesas SuperH. This new edition provides several new features to boost ease of use as well as improved optimizations, updated device support and example projects. To make the work for developers of SuperH-based applications easier and more efficient, the text editor and the source browser has gained new functionality in this version of IAR Embedded Workbench for SuperH.

The text editor now includes features such as auto-completion, parameter hints, code folding, block select and indent, bracket matching, zoom and word/paragraph navigation. New in the source browser is for example functionality for going directly to a chosen declaration, and for finding all references to a symbol. In addition, version 2.30 of IAR Embedded Workbench for SuperH introduces a new license management system (LMS) that simplifies administration through features like commuter licenses, automatic license activation and support for virtual servers.
