Infineon Dave IDE - Ethercat Dev Kit V2.00 userbuttons in code

daemoninformatica — Wed, 07 Oct 2020 19:04:05 GMT

Greetings,

As I was selected to Roadtest the Infineon Optiga Trust M product, I'm currently in the process of writing, adapting and otherwise messing around with examples and materials published by Infineon and others.

As suggested in a lot of documentation, I'm getting aquainted with 'Dave IDE' and while I think I'm getting the hang of using Dave APPs, something is frustrating me:

The Dev-Kit has, besides the controller and a debugger interface, several other connectors (Arduino compatible shield and some headers) and a couple of buttons and leds.

Just about everything relevant is either coded in the silk-screen on which port and pin they're mapped, or this can be easily reverse-engineered from the schematics available.

Working to build a well-founded understanding of the technology, and following some steps I've set out to achieve in my Roadtest, I realised I needed to get some grasp of the method of working with the APP component system.

The 'getting started Blinky' over PWM is easy enough and answers some questions. But I all to soon ran into the problem: It seemed to be impossible to use one of the on-board leds (on the devboard) for the project.

Neither one (connected to P4.0 and P4.1 resp.) was mappable in the pin configurator. Fair enough, other pins were and those mostly were exposed over the Arduino interface. I wouldn't be much of a tinkerer if I didn't

have any leds in store (I could light a runway if I wanted to) so I had a blinky after that.

But deciding that I needed to continue experimenting on it and decided to add a button that would halt and continue the blinky by pressing it. Button 1 seemed a good idea so, as a true embedded engineer

(XMega, mostly) I decided to query the APP repo for an interrupt routine and work from there. How (much) hard(er) could it be? A simple Interrupt routine component is available, but when I tried to configure it

to use 'Button 1', it wouldn't allow me. Mapping it to P0.7, no problem and that basically worked, but I couldn't figure it out.

Adding the component Digital_IO and then using my (otherwise doing nothing) main-loop, I was simply able to poll the button state and update my PWM instance.

So mission accomplished, but I feel I'm missing something important.

Why was I not able to map the user-led in my PWM component?
Why couldn't I configure my button on an interrupt?

I found a datasheet https://www.infineon.com/dgdl/Infineon-XMC4700-XMC4800-DS-v01_01-EN.pdf?fileId=5546d462518ffd850151908ea8db00b3 about the pinout of the XMC4800 (starts at page 30) and while it has a Lot of pins, for example P2.2 (used for my PWM output) and P4.1 (The led I couldn't map) have very few distinct differences. But P2.2 has CCU peripheral connections P4.1 doesn't seem to have. I suppose that could the be reason for PWM limits?

But I have less success with understanding the Interrupt limitations. What symbol in the table denotes this one?

I'd appreciate it if anyone has any insights..

Kind Regards,

Martin.

What's Your Biggest Challenge In Implementing Motor Control In Projects?

rscasny — Wed, 09 May 2018 19:12:02 GMT

We have a lot of motor control content and projects around the community. To make sure we are putting up the right kind of motor control content or offering the right kind of motor control projects, I want to ask everyone about their challenges implementing motor control, drives, etc. Please add your comments below. Thanks.

importing alltium symbols to eagle

Hello Sir

Am working on conversion of PCB components into different tools. I would like to know when importing altium footprint into eagle board ,the copper shapes such as solder mask layer and paste mask layer is not properly imported and PADS are changed fro rectangular to oval shape. Is there any solution to import it correctly or any script based on it.

Regards,

Sushmitha

Design of three-phase Inverter for research purposestt

e14 Contributor — Sun, 15 Mar 2015 13:19:56 GMT

I want to design a three phase inverter using the components from Infinieon. I want you to recommend me IGBT modules and gate drivers that are compatible with them to purchase from Farnel1

I suggest

INFINEON FS50R06W1E3 IGBT, LOW POWER, 600V, 50A, EASYPACK

with

INFINEON 2ED020I12-FI IC, IGBT DRIVER, DUAL, PG-DSO-18-2

are they compatible, also what else do I need to build the full inverter system, please recommend me with the whole staff to build this system with components from Farnell.
