Infineon announces ModusToolbox™ 3.1, with new enhancements and capabilities to accelerate embedded development

     As software becomes a key feature of various embedded solutions in today's products, embedded developers must acquire and use the right software tools to bring these products to market, such as development tools that provide flexibility and the best platform in terms of features and functionality to support deployment from the entry stage to the final deployment on hardware. Infineon Technologies has announced the launch of the more powerful ModusToolbox™ 3.1, which makes it easy for developers to use more features to develop software solutions for hardware design.

     Infineon's ModusToolbox 3.1 adds a control panel application that centralizes entry-level teaching resources, including key documents, training modules, video tutorials and links to relevant community forums. The control panel provides workflow guidance to help developers create new embedded projects for a variety of integrated development environments, Covers MicrosoftVisualStudioCode, IAREmbeddedWorkbench, Arm ® MDK (including VisionIDE) or ModusToolbox EclipseIDE contained in all kinds of development environment, etc.

     The latest version of ModusToolbox also includes important updates to the BSP Assistant, including a new user interface through which developers can create board-level support packages (BSPS) using a chain-centric process. In addition, the latest version of ModusToolbox will continue to support the reference BSP in Infineon's development board management library.

     Clark Jarvis, Technical Market Manager, Software and Tools, Infineon Technologies, said: "Learning a new development tool may seem difficult, but ModusToolbox from Infineon now has a powerful control panel with key resources for developers, making it easier than ever for beginners to get started. More importantly, the tool makes important improvements to the way developers can use BSPAssistant to develop on end-user hardware, enabling ModusToolbox to support developers from start to finish."

     Infineon's ModusToolbox software is a comprehensive set of development tools and embedded real-time resource files. It provides users with a flexible and efficient development environment that helps them seamlessly transition from the evaluation and prototyping phase with Infineon development kits, to creating custom BSPS through the edit-compile-debug cycle of application development, to the final product deployment phase.
