Installation Instructions

Prework for SEGGER J-Link

In order to use and program the Infineon XMC microcontrollers in the Arduino IDE, SEGGER J-Link must be installed on your PC. Please follow this link to SEGGER J-Link and install the J-Link Software and Documentation Pack for your operating system. If you have already installed 'DAVE™ - Development Platform for XMC™ Microcontrollers', you can skip this step as the respective drivers/programs are already installed on your system.

Using Arduino IDE

Paste the following URL into the 'Additional Boards Manager URLs' input field under File > Preferences to add Infineon's microcontroller boards to the Arduino IDE.

To install the boards, please navigate to Tools > Board > Boards Manager... and search for XMC. You will find options to install the board files for the microcontrollers. Click "Install" to add the boards to your Arduino IDE.

In the boards list Tools > Board, the XMC microcontroller boards are added and can be used from now on.

Important Notes

• This integration will only work for Arduino IDE >=1.5
• The XMC1100 Boot Kit has limitations if compared to the official Arduino boards (consult the XMC-for-Arduino Wiki for more information)
• Refer also to the LICENSE.md/txt file for further information
• Arduino 1.8.0 IDE might have problems with the XMC-for-Arduino releases

Using PlatformIO IDE

• What is PlatformIO?
• PlatformIO IDE
• PlatformIO Core (CLI) (command line tool)
• Integration with Cloud and Desktop IDEs - Cloud9, Codeanywhere, Eclipse Che (Codenvy), Atom, CLion, Eclipse, Emacs, NetBeans, Qt Creator, Sublime Text, VIM, Visual Studio, and VSCode
