IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM includes leading code optimisation techniques that produce the fastest performing code on the market. The fast performing code has a significant impact on keeping the application’s power consumption to a minimum.
Using IAR Systems’ probe I-scope, developers can also test and tune their applications for power optimisation and extend battery lifetime by learning the power consumed by individual modules and detect code design flaws causing unnecessary power consumption. The LPC54100 series features an asymmetric dual-core architecture based on ARM Cortex-M4F and ARM Cortex-M0+.
For maximal power/performance efficiency, developers can use the low-power ARM Cortex-M0+ core for sensor data collection, aggregation, and external communications and the ARM Cortex-M4F core for more math-intensive algorithms.
