ModusToolbox 3.1: Empowering Component Development

Recognizing the growing significance of software in today's embedded solutions, Infineon Technologies AG has introduced ModusToolbox 3.1, an upgraded version specifically designed for electronic component development.

ModusToolbox 3.1 features a user-friendly dashboard application that provides easy access to beginner-level educational resources. These resources include essential documents, training modules, video tutorials, and links to relevant community forums. The dashboard offers a guided workflow to assist developers in creating embedded projects compatible with popular integrated development environments such as Microsoft Visual Studio Code, IAR Embedded Workbench, ARM MDK (µVision IDE), and Eclipse IDE.

Along with the dashboard, ModusToolbox 3.1 brings significant updates to the BSP Assistant, offering an improved user interface. Developers can now create board support packages (BSPs) using a chip-centric process. Additionally, the latest version of ModusToolbox continues to support reference BSPs in Infineon's development board management library.

Clark Jarvis, Marketing Manager for Software and Tools Technology at Infineon, highlights the enhanced user experience of ModusToolbox 3.1, stating, "We understand that learning a new development tool can be challenging. ModusToolbox now provides a powerful dashboard, equipping developers with essential resources to help beginners get started more easily. Furthermore, our tool greatly enhances hardware development support through the BSP Assistant, ensuring comprehensive support for developers throughout the entire process."

ModusToolbox software serves as a comprehensive development tool and embedded real-time resource archive. It offers users a flexible and efficient development environment, facilitating a seamless transition from evaluation and prototyping using Infineon development kits to customized BSPs through the "edit-compile-debug" cycle of application development. Ultimately, ModusToolbox empowers electronic component developers to streamline their processes and achieve successful product deployment.
