Hardware Setup for Infineon AURIX Microcontrollers

Hardware boards and devices supported by MathWorks® require additional configuration and setup steps to connect to MATLAB® and Simulink®. Each support package provides a hardware setup process that guides you through registering, configuring, and connecting to your hardware board.

Required Third-Party Tools

The third party tools in the hardware setup provides the following capabilities.

  • TASKING® VX-toolset for TriCore®, HighTec TriCore Development Platform, and GCC for AURIX™ TriCore based on AURIX Development Studio - To compile the generated code and create executables (Build, PIL, and Monitor & Tune).

  • Infineon® TAS/DAS - To download and deploy the generated code and executables to your hardware board.

  • Synopsys® Virtualizer Development Kit - To simulate all the processing units, memories and peripherals available in Infineon AURIX microcontroller. You can build and test your model on virtual prototyping without the hardware board.

Hardware Setup

To utilize the complete capabilities of Embedded Coder® Support Package for Infineon AURIX TC3x Microcontrollers, run the hardware setup. Follow one of the steps to launch the hardware setup.

  1. After completion of support package installation, click Setup Now.

  2. If you have already installed the support package and chose to setup later, open the Add-Ons panel by clicking Add-Ons > Manage Add-Ons in Environment section of the Home tab.

  6. Manually download and install the listed third-party software using the installation links provided in the hardware setup screen. Click Next.

  7. Click Next and choose an action for the iLLD installation.

    • Automatically download and install — Select this option to automatically download, install, and validate iLLD. This configures the iLLD libraries at C:\ProgramData\MATLAB\SupportPackages\iLLD\TC3x\v1.20.0.

      Click Install button to start the installation.

    • Manually download and install — Select this option to manually download and install the iLLD software using the installation link provided in the hardware setup screen..

      Click Download to download the latest iLLD software version, unzip the iLLD folder, and run iLLD-TC3-v1.20.0.exe file to start the installation process. Provide installation path in the validation step to register iLLD software.

    Choose an action for iLLD installation for TC3x

    Click Next after completion of the installation process.

  8. Validate the installed third-party software tools and iLLD by specifying the path to the software installation folder.

    For example, click Browse button in the Validate TC3x iLLD Installation Path window to located the path of the TC3x iLLD folder and click Validate. Similarly, validate all the selected third-party tools and complete the hardware setup.

    Note

    • You must have a valid Infineon license to download the iLLD software for Infineon AURIX microcontrollers.

    • The downloaded iLLD installation zip file contains multiple zip folders. Extract only the root folder, leaving the internal zip folders untouched. Avoid extracting the iLLD folder to the path C:\Program Files, as access to this location requires administrator rights.
