Supported Technology Migration
Embedded devices often outlive the availability of their original processors. IAR provides Long-Term Support (LTS) Services for selected compiler versions, toolchain updates, and migration strategies to ensure software remains operational across processor generations, minimizing rework and mitigating obsolescence risks.
Long-Term Compliance Support
Regulations evolve, but safety certification doesn't move with them. IAR helps keep development environments certification-ready over time, supporting teams as they maintain critical certifications such as ISO 26262 (automotive), IEC 61508 (industrial), and IEC 62304 (medical), reducing the risk of a toolchain-driven re-validation event.
Expert Training & Consultation
Embedded teams need to stay ahead of changing technology landscapes, including compiler optimizations and compliance requirements. Beyond training, IAR offers expert assistance to set up Embedded CI/CD, integrating GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins, Docker, and Kubernetes for automated builds and compliance validation, so CI/CD and modern workflows don't come at the cost of re-validation risk.
IAR Long-Term Support (LTS) Services
A contractual, multi-year support agreement that keeps a certified toolchain stable and reproducible for long life cycles. Includes Validated Service Packs (cumulative, certified fixes), regular Known Problem Reports, and prioritized technical support with root-cause investigation and mitigation guidance.
Ensuring Embedded Software Sustainability for Decades
Embedded projects have to withstand evolving hardware, shifting compliance requirements, and toolchains that keep moving underneath them. Without long-term support, teams risk costly rework, certification lapses, and unplanned re-validation. IAR's long-term assurance portfolio, spanning technology migration, compliance support, expert training, and LTS Services, keeps embedded software sustainable and compliant for decades, even as processors become obsolete and regulations change.
Beyond Toolchains: A Long-term Commitment to Embedded Success
Safety doesn't end at start-of-production. Tools, compilers, and build environments have to stay stable and reproducible for years after a product ships. Without that, requalification effort increases, safety evidence becomes invalid, and every update introduces new risk. This is where LTS Services do the heavy lifting: version-specific stability for a certified release, Validated Service Packs, Known Problem Reports for transparency, and prioritized support with trigger analysis and avoidance guidance, delivered as a contractual, multi-year commitment of up to 10 years.
Unlike open-source toolchains, where qualification, change control, and audit evidence typically fall on the customer, IAR provides dedicated global support with guaranteed response times and long-term agreements. Engineers spend less time troubleshooting toolchain failures and more time building.
