Simplify development with TASKING tools - SmartCode, winIDEA and iC7mini BlueBox

February 16, 2024

In the fast-paced landscape of safety application development, developers require fast and user-friendly development environments and high-performance hardware debuggers.

Our video showcases the integration of SmartCode, winIDEA, and the iC7mini BlueBox, when developing an Infineon TC4x safety application. Here is the step-by-step guide:

Start TASKING SmartCode Toolset to easily import projects
Compile your application and configure SmartCode to access iC7mini BlueBox
Connect to your target hardware, program the Infineon TC4x, and start the winIDEA Debugger

SmartCode v10.2r1, the latest version of the integrated development environment for the AURIX TC4x family, supports all the architectures and microprocessor cores integrated into the TC4x. SmartCode is based on the Eclipse IDE and can be used with both Windows and Linux hosts. A Safety & Security Manual for TriCore and the Parallel Processing Unit is included for tool qualification.

The iC7mini is the latest generation of the proven BlueBox hardware debugger. The iC7mini brings faster response times and improved performance to software development, enabling a smoother GUI and API experience. The new and improved ECU interface ensures signal integrity is maintained in even the most demanding environments. Additional advancements allow testing in the Continuous Integration domain to be twice as fast, and the ability to work in a global development environment with remote ‘debug’ farms has been significantly improved.

SmartCode allows connection to the hardware target via the iC7mini, and the ability to debug ‘TriCore cores’ via the Infineon miniWiggler is also included. SmartCode now contains an Eclipse plug-in which allows it to access the powerful and versatile winIDEA IDE.

Qualifying a C Library - Dealing with the conflicting worldviews of the ISO 26262 and ISO C standards Functional safety and cybersecurity standards treat the qualification of tools and libraries as independent subjects. This independence is inconsistent with the perspective of the ISO C standard which serves as the foundation for implementing compiler toolsets and their libraries. This fundamental difference poses difficulties when it comes to qualifying a compiler and the libraries associated with it. Introduction To achieve conformance with the Read Article
