Infineon Technologies AG, a leading semiconductor company, recently unveiled ModusToolbox™ 3.1, an advanced software development platform designed to empower embedded developers in bringing their products to market. As software becomes increasingly crucial in embedded solutions, developers require robust tools that offer flexibility, comprehensive features, and extended capabilities. The latest release of ModusToolbox™ aims to meet these requirements and provide developers with an enhanced development experience.
ModusToolbox™ 3.1 introduces a new dashboard application, serving as a centralized resource for developers to kickstart their projects. The dashboard offers valuable links to essential documentation, training modules, video tutorials, and community forums, streamlining the initial setup process. By providing a guided workflow, developers can easily create new embedded projects within their preferred Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), such as Microsoft Visual Studio Code, IAR Embedded Workbench, Arm® MDK (µVision IDE), or Eclipse IDE. ModusToolbox™ also supports the integration of these IDEs as part of its comprehensive development environment.
An updated version of the BSP Assistant accompanies ModusToolbox™ 3.1, delivering significant improvements in usability. The BSP Assistant now features a user-friendly interface that allows developers to create board support packages (BSP) using a device-centric flow. This update simplifies the process of configuring hardware-specific settings and ensures efficient development on final customer hardware. Furthermore, the latest version continues to support reference BSPs from Infineon’s library of development boards, offering developers a wide range of options to suit their specific needs.
Clark Jarvis, Software and Tools Technical Marketer of Infineon, acknowledged that learning a new development tool can be challenging. With this in mind, Infineon has integrated a robust dashboard into ModusToolbox™ to provide developers with key resources, making the onboarding process more accessible than ever before. The comprehensive dashboard centralizes essential documentation, training materials, video tutorials, and community forums, allowing developers to access the information they need quickly.
ModusToolbox™: A Comprehensive Development Environment
Infineon’s ModusToolbox™ software encompasses a suite of development tools and embedded run-time assets designed to create a flexible and efficient development environment. It enables a seamless transition from the evaluation and prototyping phase, utilizing Infineon development kits, to the creation of a custom BSP through the edit-compile-debug cycle of application development. Finally, developers can seamlessly deploy their solutions onto the final product.
Infineon Technologies AG has released ModusToolbox™ 3.1, an advanced software development platform that empowers embedded developers to bring their products to market efficiently.
