Embedded Studio 4.10 for ARM released – Putting the executable on a diet!

October 26, 2018

Monheim, Germany – October 25th, 2018

“Bigger is better” is not true when it comes to program size of Embedded Computing Systems. Less is more. A smaller executable can get the same thing done with less program memory (Flash), resulting in the ability to use smaller Microcontrollers and potentially massive cost savings.

After a successful beta period, SEGGER has added the new Linker and Link-Time Optimization (LTO) to the latest release build of their powerful cross-platform integrated development environments, Embedded Studio for ARM and Embedded Studio for Cortex-M.

The new product version delivers on the … Read More → "Embedded Studio 4.10 for ARM released – Putting the executable on a diet!"
