Infineon KIT PSC3M8 CC1

This article describes specifics for the Infineon KIT_PSC3M8_CC1 evaluation board.

Preparing for J-Link

• The board already contains on board J-Link debugger.
• Connect the host computer to the USB-C connector(J1).
• Toggle the debug mode switch(SW2) to OBD position.
• Verify the Connection with e.g. J-Link Commander. The output should look as follows:

Example Project

The following example project was created with the SEGGER Embedded Studio project wizard and runs out-of-the-box on the Infineon [EvalBoardName].
It is a simple Hello World sample linked into the internal flash.

SETUP

• Embedded Studio: V8.24
• Hardware: Infineon KIT_PSC3M8_CC1
• Link: File:Infineon PSC3M8 TestProject ES V824.zip

Tracing on Infineon PSC3M8

This section describes how to get started with trace on the Infineon PSC3M8 MCUs. This section assumes that there is already a basic knowledge about trace in general (what is trace, what different implementations of trace are there, etc.). If this is not the case, we recommend to read Trace chapter in the J-Link User Manual (UM08001).

Note:

Some of the examples are shipped with a compiled .JLinkScriptfile (extension .pex), should you need the original source, please get in touch with SEGGER directly via our support system: https://www.segger.com/ticket/.

To create your own .JLinkScriptfile you can use the following guide as reference: How_to_configure_JLinkScript_files_to_enable_tracing

Minimum requirements

In order to use trace on the Infineon PSC3M8 MCU devices, the following minimum requirements have to be met:

• J-Link software version V9.30 or later
• Ozone V3.40g or later (if streaming trace and / or the sample project from below shall be used)
• J-Trace PRO version V3.0 or later for streaming trace

To rebuild the project our IDE Embedded Studio can be used. The recommended version to rebuild the projects is V8.26c. But the examples are all prebuild and work out-of-the box with Ozone, so rebuilding is not necessary.

Cortex-M33

The project below has been tested with the minimum requirements mentioned above and a KIT PSC3M8 CC1.

Streaming trace

Open the *.jdebug project contained in the example project in Ozone.

Specifics/Limitations

Specifics/Limitations

The KIT PSC3M8 CC1 eval board does not have a dedicated trace pin header that can be directly connected to the J-Trace Pro. But there is an additional adapter board available called PSOC CONTROL C3M8 INTERFACE BOARD. This adapter board routes the trace pins to pin headers which can be connected via flying wires to the J-Trace Pro.

We recommend to use such setup only for early testing. In your final design we recommend a dedicated trace pin header to avoid signal integrity issues.
