This repository integrates Infineon's XMC microcontrollers into the Arduino IDE and PlatformIO IDE.
Please visit also the Wiki for additional information, e.g. datasheets, pin out diagrams, etc.:
Additionally, please consult the releases for information about the changes and new versions.
In order to use Infineon's XMC microcontroller boards in Arduino you need SEGGER J-Link installed on your machine first. Please follow this link and install the J-Link Software and Documentation Pack for your respective operating system (OS).
If you are downloading J-Link for the first time, make sure to check this box: Install USB Driver for J-Link.
XMC-for-Arduino requires Python 3.x and pyserial
. Make sure Python is installed on your machine and available in the system path.
You can check if it was successfully installed by opening your command line or terminal and typing:
python --version
With pip available, install the mentioned packages from a terminal:
pip install pyserial
Please first download the Arduino IDE. This package is only tested for Arduino IDE >=1.5. We recommended to use Arduino IDE >=2.0.
Paste the following URL into the 'Additional boards manager URLs' input field under File > Preferences to add Infineon's XMC microcontroller boards to the Arduino IDE.

To install the boards, please go now to Tools > Board > Boards Manager... and search for XMC. You will see options to install the board files for the microcontrollers. Click "Install" to add the boards to your Arduino IDE.
In the boards list Tools > Board, you will now find the supported XMC microcontroller boards.
Certain obsolete boards (see wiki) and non-functional libraries were removed from the board support package for the release version 2.0.0, alongwith some other major changes (see release notes). After version 3.0.0, the release index will not include library before version 2.0.0.
