How Would You RoadTest a Powerful Microcontroller Designed for EV Charging, e-Bikes and Robotics?

rscasny

imageHi All.

I have been in conversation with a roadtest sponsor who is excited to have the community test in the coming year a powerful microcontroller that's designed for industrial applications including VFDs, electrical vehicle (EV) charging, two-wheel electrical vehicles (e-bikes) and robotics. I want to tell you a little about it and give you some resources to review. I'm seeking some ideas of how community members would roadtest the kit. This is important because, in my initial conversation with them, they were wondering what else would be needed to be provided with the kit. Ex. Motor? Sensors? Other?

The kit is based on the Infineon XMC7200 microcontroller and part of the family of XMC7000 microcontrollers, which offer single and dual core options of 350-MHz 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M7 and a 100-MHz 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M0+, up to 8 MB of embedded flash and 1 MB of on-chip SRAM. The products operate from 2.7 to 5.5 V and achieve full specification from -40°C to 125°C.

For More Information About The Kit

You would get the following in the kit:

  • XMC7200 evaluation board
  • USB Type-A to Mirco-B cable
  • 12V/3A DC power adapter with additional blades
  • Six jumper wires (five inches each)
  • Quick start guide
  • Other--what else would you need?

Here are some documents for further study:

  • There is a tremendous capability here, you could easily spend a year checking out all of the pieces and still not cover all of the potential here.

    Way beyond my current capabilities.

    I would suggest having the vendor identify a couple of key elements they want tested and then divvy those out to the road testers so they can concentrate testing the key elements.
