Tricore-Probe: Run rust effortlessly on Tricore chips

tricore-probe is an effort to deploy and debug rust programs with little effort on Tricore chips. It uses publicly available Infineon tools to interface with the chips debug controller. As its name suggests, it is inspired by probe-run and depends on the defmt framework to integrate seamlessly just as probe-run does.

Platform support

Currently only Windows and Linux are supported.

Installation

Windows

Requirements

  1. Infineon DAS tool version 8.0.5 Please make sure the DAS_HOME environment variable points to the DAS tool installation directory.
  2. Infineon AURIX™ Flasher Software Tool Please make sure the AURIX_FLASHER_PATH environment variable points to the AurixFlasher executable (<your-path>\AURIXFlasher.exe).
  3. defmt-print CLI utility: cargo install defmt-print
  4. objcopy CLI utility (obtain e.g. as part of the MinGW-w64 project)
  5. addr2line CLI utility (obtain e.g. as part of the MinGW-w64 project)
  6. Rust toolchain
  7. LLVM (also set LIBCLANG_PATH to <your-path>\LLVM\lib)

Installation

Install tricore-probe:

cargo install tricore-probe --git https://github.com/veecle/tricore-probe --version 0.2.0

Linux

The Linux setup is not officially supported by Infineon and thus might not work as expected. Please report any bugs or issues you encounter with the Linux setup only to this repository, not to Infineon.

Requirements

  1. Place the Infineon DAS tool version 8.0.5 installer (DAS_V8_0_5_SETUP.exe) in tricore-docker.
  2. Place the Infineon AURIX™ Flasher Software Tool installer (aurixflashersoftwaretool_1.0.10_Windows_x64.msi) in tricore-docker.
  3. objcopy CLI utility
  4. Rust toolchain
  5. libudev library (libudev-dev on Ubuntu, systemd-libs on Fedora)

Installation

Clone the repository and place the DAS tool installer and AurixFlasher installer into the tricore-docker directory. Build the docker container running the DAS tool, AurixFlasher and other utilities.

Note: The veecle/flash-tricore container will contain an AurixFlasher and DAS installation in a Wine environment. To use this setup, make sure you checked the terms and conditions of these programs and accept them by setting the required build argument with --build-arg=AGREE_INFINEON_TERMS=1 when building the docker image.

docker build . --tag veecle/flash-tricore --build-arg=AGREE_INFINEON_TERMS=1 -f tricore-docker/Dockerfile

Install tricore-probe:

cargo install tricore-probe --git https://github.com/veecle/tricore-probe --version 0.2.0

Attribution

The Linux setup is based on a modified version of the wineftd2xx project by brentr.

Quickstart

> tricore-probe <your-executable>.elf --list-devices
Found 1 devices:
Device 0: "DAS JDS AURIX LITE KIT V2.0 (TC375) LK7KFCF1"

In case of a simple example based on the Bluewind blinky the output will look something like this:

> tricore-probe blinky.elf
DEBUG power on reset
└─ bw_r_drivers_tc37x::ssw::tc0::init_clock @ C:\Users\andra\.cargo\registry\src\github.com-d2f9efa20490c5c8\bw-r-drivers-tc37x-0.2.0\src\ssw\tc0.rs:12
INFO  LED2 toggle
└─ blinky::main @ src\main.rs:46

For more sample code refer to the Bluewind bare-metal examples and to the Veecle PXROS examples.

Cargo runner

This program can be configured as a runner. Check main.rs for additional configuration options.

A simple runner config for a TC375 lite kit could look like this:

[target.tc162-htc-none]
runner = "tricore-probe"
# The default dwarf version of the HighTec compiler is version 2 in v0.2.0
# and version 3 in v1.0.0, both versions being incompatible with defmt location information.
rustflags = ["-Z", "dwarf-version=4"]

[build]
target = "tc162-htc-none"

Then you can call cargo run in your project root which will run the built .elf on your board via tricore-probe.
