Stand-alone operation | ModusToolbox™ ecosystem documentation

Stand-alone operation

When the Device Configurator is used outside of the ModusToolbox™ environment, such as TLEXXX, it will not have the ModusToolbox™ application context. In the current stand-alone use case, the personalities and device-db are intended to be shipped in a CMSIS pack, typically distributed via Infineon Developer Center, that is used in Keil µVision and IAR Embedded Workbench. The Device Configurator can be run as a GUI and via the command line.

Install Infineon Device Configurator

The installer for the Infineon Device Configurator is provided on Linux, macOS, and Windows. At this time, using the tool with Keil µVision IDE or IAR Embedded Workbench outside of the ModusToolbox™ environment is only supported on Windows, as these are only available for that operating system. The installer can be downloaded here: http://www.infineon.com/idc

Launch the deviceconfigurator_[version].[build #]_windows_x64.exe installer and follow the installer wizard steps. We recommend installing as current user. By default, the tool is installed here:

C:\Users\[user-home]\Infineon\Tools\InfineonDeviceConfigurator-[version]

Note:

The installer has options to open the Device Configurator tool and the text file release notes. Opening the tool this way will not be in the context of a supported project loaded in Keil µVision or IAR Embedded Workbench, and the tool will open without any configuration information with a message to that effect. We recommend deselecting this option on the installer, and opening the tool from the IDE in the context of a supported project. See the Run Device Configurator section.

CMSIS Pack

In order to use devices such as TLE994x_5x, you need to install the appropriate CMSIS pack. For example, the MOTIX_TLE994x_5x_PDL.pack. You can find the pack on the Infineon Developer Center webpage: https://softwaretools.infineon.com/assets/com.ifx.tb.tool.motixtle994x5xpdl

Run Device Configurator

Keil µVision

The installer adds the Run Device Configurator [version] item to the Tools menu when the Add a menu item to run Device Configurator task (by default) is selected on the Custom Installation page. If needed, you can Add menu item to µVision (script) after the installer finishes.

Using the GUI

To run the Device Configurator GUI tool, open the Keil µVision IDE with a project. Then, select the Tools > Run Infineon Device Configurator [version]. If you don't see the menu item, refer to Add menu item to µVision (script).

Note:

This menu entry is for use with projects created out of supported CMSIS packs and not for applications exported from the ModusToolbox™ ecosystem. The CMSIS packs include the relevant files to be used via that menu entry. If you launch the Device Configurator without having a supported project loaded in Keil µVision, it may fail to open, and there may not be any warning or message.

With a supported project loaded, the IDE launches the Device Configurator with the opened design.modus file located in the current project:

When you save updates, the Device Configurator generates/updates source code in the GeneratedSource directory next to the design.modus file. See the Code generation section for more details.

Add menu item to µVision (script)

In most cases, the installer adds the menu item to the Keil µVision IDE automatically. It also extracts a IntegrateToKeil.ps1 script to the [installation folder]\resources folder. If the Tools menu in the Keil µVision IDE does not contain the item to launch the Infineon Device Configurator, you can run the script manually to add it.

To run the script, open a command prompt and navigate to the resources folder (for example, C:\Users\[user-home]\Infineon\Tools\InfineonDeviceConfigurator-[version]\resources or C:\Infineon\Tools\InfineonDeviceConfigurator-[version]\resources), type "powershell" in address bar.

Run the following command:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy AllSigned -File IntegrateToKeil.ps1

The CLI may require confirmation of script owned by Infineon Technologies publisher.

Remove menu item from µVision (script)

If you use the Device Configurator uninstaller, it will remove the Run Device Configurator menu item from the Keil µVision IDE automatically. To remove the item manually, run the IntegrateToKeil.ps1 script with -u:

Open a command prompt and navigate to the resources folder (for example, C:\Users\[user-home]\Infineon\Tools\InfineonDeviceConfigurator-[version]\resources or C:\Infineon\Tools\InfineonDeviceConfigurator-[version]\resources), type "powershell" in address bar.

Run the following command:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy AllSigned -File IntegrateToKeil.ps1 -u

The CLI may require confirmation of script owned by Infineon Technologies publisher.

Using the command line

You can use the command line to run the Device Configurator with project context by providing specific arguments. For example (replace "[...]" with real values):

C:\Users\[user-home]\Infineon\Tools\InfineonDeviceConfigurator-[version]\resources\launch-tool.exe --library "$Sprops.json","$Sdevice-info\device-db\props.json" --design "$Pconfig\design.modus" --set-device $D

IAR Embedded Workbench

The installer does not add any settings for IAR Embedded Workbench. You need to configure the GUI to add a menu item. You can also run the Device Configurator from the command line.

Create design.modus file

If you have a project without a design.modus file, follow these steps to allow configuration of your project with the Device Configurator:

Create a new text file called “design.modus” inside your project directory with the following minimal configuration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration app="BACKEND" formatVersion="14" lastSavedWith="Configurator Backend" lastSavedWithVersion="3.50.0" xmlns="http://cypress.com/xsd/cydesignfile_v5">
    <Devices>
        <Device mpn="TLE9954EQA40">
            <BlockConfig/>
            <Netlist/>
        </Device>
    </Devices>
</Configuration>

Replace the “mpn” attribute with the part number of the used device in your project.
Save the “design.modus” file.

Run Device Configurator

Run the tool as described in Using the GUI or Using the command line.

Upon first opening the Device Configurator for a project. resolve all pending tasks listed in the Notice List to achieve a valid configuration for the selected device. See Notice List for more details.
Set a configuration for your device by enabling desired blocks from the Peripherals, Pins, and System tab.
Save the configuration.
Add the newly created GeneratedSource folder to your build environment in the same location as your design.modus file.
Include the ifxcfg.h header file from the GeneratedSource folder, and insert an init_ifxcfg_all() call inside your application start-up routine.

Using the GUI

Configure menu

You need to configure IAR Embedded Workbench GUI manually to add Device Configurator to the menu, as follows:

On the main menu, select Tools > Configure Tools... to open the dialog.
On the dialog, enter the following:
- Menu Text: Device Configurator
- Command: [path-to-device-configurator]\resources\launch-tool.exe
  You can navigate to the executable using the [Browse…] button.
- Argument: "--library "[path-to-IAR-CMSIS-Packs]\Infineon\TLE994x_5x_DFP\1.0.0\props.json","[path-to-IAR-CMSIS-Packs]\Infineon\TLE994x_5x_DFP\1.0.0\device-info\device-db\props.json" --design "$PROJ_DIR$\config\design.modus" --set-device TLE9954EQA40"
  This passes a command to the Device Configurator to use the specified library, device-db, and design.modus file, and set the device.
  The variable $PROJ_DIR$ is the IAR Embedded Workbench project directory.
Click OK to close the dialog, and the menu item will be added:

Using the command line

You can use the command line to run the Device Configurator with project context by providing specific arguments. For example (replace "[...]" with real values):

C:\Users\[user-home]\Infineon\Tools\InfineonDeviceConfigurator-[version]\resources\launch-tool.exe --library "C:\Users\[user-home]\IAR-CMSIS-Packs\Infineon\TLE994x_5x_DFP\1.0.0\props.json","C:\Users\[user-home]\IAR-CMSIS-Packs\Infineon\TLE994x_5x_DFP\1.0.0\device-info\device-db\props.json" --design "[IAR EW project path]\config\design.modus" --set-device TLE9954EQA40

The following describe the arguments in detail:

Mandatory: --library "[lib-file1]","[lib-file2]"
Replace [lib-file1] with the local path to the top-level CMSIS pack props.json file. For example:
```
"C:\Users\[user-home]\IAR-CMSIS-Packs\Infineon\TLE994x_5x_DFP\1.0.0\props.json"
```
Replace [lib-file2] with the local path to the device-db props.json file in the CMSIS pack. For example:
```
"C:\Users\[user-home]\IAR-CMSIS-Packs\Infineon\TLE994x_5x_DFP\1.0.0\device-info\device-db\props.json"
```
Mandatory: --design "[design-file]"
Replace [design-file] with the local path to the design.modus file, usually located inside the project folder. For example:
```
"[your IAR EW project path]\config\design.modus"
```
Optional: --set-device [part-no]
Providing a valid [part-no] will update the device in the provided the design.modus file. For example, TLE9954EQA40
