IAR announced a commercial partnership with Edge Impulse. The partnership is built on integrations between Edge Impulse's platform and IAR Embedded Workbench, with full integration between the two products on a workflow level. Engineers building applications with, for example, predictive capabilities can leverage Edge Impulse's technologies to generate - and evaluate - predictive ML models.

These models can be derived from real-time data or previously collected data to test the effectiveness and efficiency of the models. Furthermore, optimized C/C++ code can be generated at any point in the workflow and easily integrated into the embedded application. By leveraging the seamless integration between Edge Impulse's platform, the engineer saves time (improves time-to-market) and optimizes the ML workload's code performance.

As part of the new business partnership, the tens of thousands of developers worldwide currently using IAR Embedded Workbench will be offered Edge Impulse's solution as a premium add-on during Fourth Quarter 2023, starting with introducing the solution to IAR's current Arm customers.
