For the XMC1100, XMC1200, XMC1300, and XMC1400 families of devices, you can generate an archive file to upload to the XMC™ Simulator tool (https://design.infineon.com/tinaui/designer.php) for simulation and debugging. To do this:

Specify the

CY_SIMULATOR_GEN_AUTO=1

variable as follows:

  • Edit the application

    Makefile

    to add the

    CY_SIMULATOR_GEN_AUTO=1

    variable, and then build the application, or

  • Add the variable on the command line:

    make build CY_SIMULATOR_GEN_AUTO=1

When the build completes, it generates an archive file (

<application-name>.tar.tgz

) in the

<Application-Name>\build&lt;Kit-Name>\Debug

directory, and the build message displays the URL to the appropriate simulator tool. For example:

==============================================================================
= Generating simulator archive file =
==============================================================================
Simulator archive file C:/Users/XYZ/mtw/5699/xmc-2/Empty_XMC_App/build/KIT_XMC12_BOOT_001/Debug/mtb-example-xmc-empty-app.tar.tgz successfully generated

  • If using the Eclipse IDE, click the link in the Quick Panel under

    Tools

    to open the XMC™ Simulator tool in the default web browser.

  • If using the command line, run

    make online_simulator

    .

Upload the generated archive file to the XMC™ Simulator tool, and follow the tool's instructions for using the tool as appropriate.
