Just a friendly update.

It is possible to write a bootloader with ethercat that handles all the update functionality in the bootloader alone, without having any application dependencies.

There is only one EEPROM location in flash, but a few changes to some of the files generated by DAVE can fix this, making the bootloader stick with it's original EEPROM content i.e. completely ignoring the EEPROM information in flash.
This removes the option of the master writing to the EEPROM when in the bootloader, but I have yet to find a reason why you would want to change this in something as static as a bootloader.

Going from bootloader to application can cause some headaches, depending on implementation.
I'm not going the advocate for any solution, but having a button or switch on the pcb for controlling if the bootloader should just start the application or stay active and receive an update over EtherCAT is probably the simplest solution.

A question about the naming rule of AURIX chip

For example, I have a TC275 chip with this mark:

SAK TC275T - 64 F200W CA

After some searching, studying and guessing, I managed to understand all the meaning but the number before "F200W".

What the 64 stands for?

First I guessing it means the chip has 64K EEPROM. But I quickly found that some variants with 24K EEPROM also has "64" in its name.

Can anyone explain its meaning to me?

Hello Dave Community,

I created a simple app to drive 3 LEDs with 3 PDMs using 3 channels on the Dimming Engine 0.
these are the snapshots of what I get when I debug the code to upload it to the microcontroller XMC1302

Attachment 2773

Is there any configuration for the JTAG before uploading the code?
Waiting to hear from you.

Regards,
Badr Eddine

Hi,

I have KIT_AURIX_TC297.
I want to debug it using the JTAG and DAP miniWiggler.
I am using Free TriCore Entry Toolchain. But the UDE that comes with is of limited version and does not allow me to connect the board using either JTAG or DAP miniWiggler.
Is there any way I can get Standard version of UDE for free download which allows this type of debugging?

Or any other tool is available for this task??

Your quick help is appreciated.

Regards,
Divya

Hi,

A new version of the OPC UA Server from Matrikon is available.
Go to the DAVE Example Projects download page, use OPC as keyword and download and import the project into DAVE.
You can also access the examples inside DAVE, menu button Help>Install DAVE APP/Example/Device Library… , select in Examples and search for OPC.

To connect to the development board you can use the Sample client from the OPC Foundation

Hi all,

Grab the new version of uC/Probe at http://www.infineon.com/ucprobexmc.

µC/Probe XMC 4.1: a minor release with a brand new ELF parser and Symbol Browser.

The release of µC/Probe XMC Version 4.1, brings a new ELF parser capable of parsing larger ELF files and C++ class members. The new ELF parser is tied to a redesigned Symbol Browser that allows you to associate virtual controls and indicators to embedded target symbols that in previous versions of µC/Probe XMC were not available:

• Bit Fields (supported by all controls)
• Full Array (only supported by the Tree Control and the Spreadsheet Control)
• Element of an Array (supported by all controls)
• Full Structure (only supported by the Tree Control and the Spreadsheet Control)
• Member of a Structure (supported by all controls)
• Mix of all of the above
• Pointers to all of the above
• C++ Class Members (supported by all controls)

Furthermore, with the new release of µC/Probe XMC 4.1, Micriµm continues the expansion of its extensive partner ecosystem through the integration of two new communication interfaces:

• ARM Keil µVision

The new communication interfaces bring µC/Probe XMC to all those embedded targets supported by the aforementioned IDEs. The best part is that these new communication interfaces do not require any special target resident code and they work without the intervention of the embedded target's CPU.

Other improvements in this software update include:

New Memory Window Control

Added linear and logarithmic scales to some of the controls (i.e. gauges and charts)

• Oscilloscope Control Improvements:
• Export the captured traces as a CSV file
• Export the captured traces as a PNG file
• Autofit traces to view
• Delta Time measurement
• Delta Amplitude measurement
• Average measurement (within cursors ∆T)
• RMS measurement (within cursors ∆T)
• Min/Max measurement

The µC/Probe XMC 4.1 software update is fully compatible with older workspaces.

I had a lot of undefinably problems with my XMC4500 Relax kit in contact with
the webserver excample.
The reason was the power of my PC usb adapter.
I separate the J Link pcb from the kit and suply the kit with an extern power supply.

Now it works fine!

Old thread but i have the similar problem using XMC4300. The programm stucks at the Default_Handler. In my case at the VADC0_G1_3_IRQHandler.
I don't use any ADC but as some of you wrote the problem can be somewhere else. Could anyone provide me some hints how to solve this?

Thanks

Hello Users,
I am tracing a code sequence on a TC297TA.
This with a Lauterbach Debugger.
When a

is called, the enabled IE-bit doesn't change.
If i twiddle around in the debugger with the IE bit and the ICR-Register, everything is fine.

What do I miss here?

When I was using DAVE-3.1.10, I reported in these forums that the installation was trying to put Gigs of files on the C drive even through I had selected another drive for installation. I recently tried to upgrade and encountered the same problem. Your team REALLY needs to listen to user input instead of ignoring it. As it is, I cannot install without re-partitioning my hard drive so I will
continue to use buggy version that I have.

Can you please fix the IDE to install 90+% of the files in the location where the user instructs the installation to be placed. It would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jason

Hi,
I am using KIT_AURIX_TC297 starter kit. I have connected it to my PC using JRAG interface.

I want to flash .hex file of my code to KIT_AURIX_TC297 starter kit using Infineon MemTool.

I am able to connect my board to the tool but the "Program" button is not activated. Thus, I am not able to flash my code.
I want to program PF0.

Is there any other setting which I am missing? Any hardware related setting for this?

Please reply and guide me.

Regards,
Divya

Hi,

The P1.10 should not have any influence anymore since we have disabled this functionality previously.
Did you check the status returned by the FatFS functions, i.e. f_printf, you are using? Knowing which function is not behaving as expected could give us a further hint where to look.

Jesus
