Infineon Technologies Releases ModusToolbox™ 3.0 to Simplify Development of Dual-Core Applications by Supporting Simultaneous Debugging

ModusToolbox Ecosystem

[Munich, Germany, October 18, 2022] The popularity of multi-core devices in the field of embedded microcontrollers has brought more complex challenges to system designers' software development. To help customers simplify overall design and speed up product launch, Infineon Technologies AG announced the launch of ModusToolbox™ 3.0, an improved ModusToolbox development platform that enhances support for multi-core project workflows. In addition, the advantages of ModusToolbox 3.0 also include: support for dual-core devices, new graphical tools to help customers develop board support packages (BSPs), architectural support for ModusToolbox Packs, and improvements to the backend system.

Infineon's ModusToolbox 3.0 enables the creation and management of dual-core application projects, and in particular supports dual-core synchronous debugging, reducing the challenges faced by designers throughout the development process. This is not possible in the Eclipse-based integrated development environment (IDE) provided by the old ModusToolbox development platform, which further unleashes the potential of dual-core devices such as Infineon's PSoC™ 6. In addition, this new feature also creates a development framework for Infineon's future multi-core devices.

Clark Jarvis, senior product marketing manager for software and tools at Infineon Technologies, said: "Designers usually need a seamless development process to complete their development work, but the development kits provided by suppliers cannot meet this requirement. For a long time, the industry has not paid much attention to this problem. It is based on a deep understanding of this pain point that Infineon has released a new generation of ModusToolbox platform to provide customers with a rich and seamless out-of-the-box development experience. Its main function is to help

Customers continue to develop new products based on their own hardware. At the same time, ModusToolbox can also support users to reuse their development boards during team development. Infineon will continue to provide new features to meet customer needs in the future. "

ModusToolbox Dual Core Debugging VS Code

ModusToolbox 3.0 provides a unique development experience designed to support a variety of industry applications, including consumer IoT, industrial applications, smart home, wearable devices and many other applications. ModusToolbox 3.0 is compatible with a variety of Infineon products and solutions such as PSoC 4, PSoC 6, XMC™, AIROC™ Wi-Fi, AIROC Bluetooth® and EZ-PD™ PMG1 microcontrollers to enable the development of embedded applications.

Availability

The ModusToolbox toolkit is now available for download from the Infineon Developer Center. The installation toolkit is available for Windows, Linux and macOS. For detailed installation steps, refer to the ModusToolbox Installation Guide. Users can directly obtain the latest version of the ModusToolbox runtime software from the installed development tools.
