The MCU has built-in hardware safety features, making it suitable for development of systems with high requirements on functional safety, for example within medical, industrial, and transportation applications areas. It consists of three ARM Cortex-based microcontroller families: TMS470M, TMS570 and RM4x. The RM4x family provides the highest performance, and is based on ARM Cortex-R4F.
IAR KickStart Kit for TI Hercules RM48 is the first ARM Cortex-R4F kit from IAR Systems and is a bundled kit, including a full-featured TI Hercules TMDXRM48HDK kit and an IAR J-Link Lite debug probe, which enables fast and stable debugging with advanced debug features offered by IAR Embedded Workbench.
Also included in the kit are software tools and example applications from IAR Systems and Texas Instruments, supplying all the software and hardware necessary to design, develop, integrate, and test applications. IAR KickStart Kit for TI Hercules RM48 is in stock and available in the IAR Systems e-shop. The part number is KSK-TMDXRM48HDK-JL.

IAR provides its IDE for several different TI chips. From the 8 bits to the big ARM based processors.
I think this is very good because one of the main factors when choosing a chip for a design is to consider the development environment and the set of available tools. Choosing a provider that covers the span from microcontrollers to processors reduces some of the engineer's learning curves or the burden of interacting with different vendors. Though, IAR should reduce their prices. Well, a good tool doesn't come cheap.
