Infineon Device Overview

Keil has a long history supporting Infineon microcontroller families and provides industry leading tools for XC800 and XC166/XC2000. The new Infineon XMC4000 family is the natural upgrade path for users that want to enter the 32-bit microcontroller space.

• C500/C800/XC800
  The Infineon C500, C800, and XC800 devices provide unique features found in few other 8051-compatible devices.
• XC16x/XE16x/XC2000
  Infineon 16-bit devices offer a rich portfolio, with enhanced features and computing performance for real-time embedded control applications. OCDS (on-chip debugging system) is available on many devices and is supported by the Keil ULINK2 USB Debug Adapter.
• New! XMC4000
  The Infineon XMC4000 family is based on the ARM Cortex^™-M4 processor, which enables advanced signal control with a DSP instruction set and a floating point unit. The XMC4000 family is fully supported in Keil MDK-ARM.

Using MDK-ARM with Infineon DAVE3 projects

DAVE^™ 3 with its pool of pre-developed and pre-tested software components is the innovative software solution for the Infineon XMC4000 microcontroller family. DAVE 3 is based on Eclipse and the CMSIS standard. Application Note 227 describes how DAVE 3 projects can be exported to MDK-ARM to benefit from its advanced compilation tools and the unique debug & analysis features.
