Uppsala, Sweden—May 23, 2012—IAR Systems® announces that its high-performing embedded development tool suite IAR Embedded Workbench® for MSP430 integrates the new ULP Advisor™ code analysis software tool from Texas Instruments (TI).

TI’s ULP Advisor software is a power-optimization teaching tool. It provides a static code analyzer that flags software code and offers tips and tricks to help developers understand where they can improve their code line-by-line to minimize power consumption and achieve ultra-low-power performance.

The tool works by checking the code for violations against a set of rules for ultra-low-power design. It flags and itemizes each rule violation, and by clicking each message the developer can find the code block that can potentially consume a noticeable amount of power. A suggestion is then given on how to improve the code to optimize power consumption.

The IAR Embedded Workbench integration enables the user to control TI’s ULP Advisor software from within...
