Maurizio Skerlj, Infineon’s senior director, industrial microcontrollers, noted: “Strong tools, such as Micrium’s µC/Probe, are a natural fit for our XMC families. For visualising embedded systems, there are few tools on the market that are as powerful and easy to use.”
Micrium will offer Infineon a customised version of µC/Probe that has been designed to run only on XMC MCUs. The company has also worked with Infineon to define µC/Probe’s new oscilloscope feature, said to be capable of displaying the value of up to eight variables or I/O ports, even at the bit level.
This feature is expected to be useful because it allows the monitoring of variables that would be difficult to access with a conventional oscilloscope. It also allows users to monitor and change any variable without stopping the target.
Jean Labrosse, Micrium’s president and CEO, added: “µC/Probe supports Infineon’s XMC families and allows designers to gain insight into their embedded system that is not available using any other tool. Further, the new oscilloscope feature is ideally suited for monitoring and tuning motor control and power conversion applications.”
