Hi there,

We have just start looking into Infineon product and are quite confused with the software situation, hope that anyone can shine some light on us:

1. We want to purchase KIT_AURIX_TC234_MOTORCTR for evaluation, on product page (https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/evaluation-boards/kit_aurix_tc234_motorctr/#!support) it is said there are demo software project for FOC motor control, but I don't see any CD within the package, so is that mean they must be able to be downloaded somewhere right? If so where is it?

2. AURIX dev studio or HighTec IDE? Which one is better?

3. We were using Texas Instrument product before. With them they provide all driver library and MCU functionality demo as downloadable for their MCU. But I can't find any driver library and only 3 example related to TC234 on Github (https://github.com/Infineon/AURIX_code_examples). Did I miss something obvious? I don't think we need to redevelop all the driver library right? That will be mission impossible!

Thanks for reading, any reply is appreciated.

#1: Check the "Applications" section on the product page you listed - you need to register to get access to AURIX technical documentation. Once you clear that hurdle, here's a link to the application note:
https://myicp.infineon.com/sites/microcontrollers-aurix_customer_doc/Lists/defaultdoclib/AURIX%20TC2...

#2: AURIX Development Studio can only be used for non-commercial projects.

#3: See #1 🙂 You do not need to reinvent the wheel.

Furthermore, for the point #3, the examples you find in github are also provided with the full set of libraries (iLLDs) available for TC234, you can just take those.
If you need any specific example for TC234 that is not currently available for it but it is for another device (like TC297), you can try to port it by copying the source files of the specific file into a new project for TC234, together with the needed instructions in the Cpu0_main file. Just make sure the example you want to port is compatible with the hardware (stupid example: you obviously cannot port the multicore example to TC234 siince it only has 1 core)

hope it helps,
