Bootstrap XC167

I can't upload my software in bootstrap mode. It seems to be the Keil compiler doesn't recognise the controller.

I think there's something wrong with the monitor...

  • Hi Stefan,

    I did some other work last days but today the board is working. In hardware there was one problem with the MAX232. Right now the board is working fine.

    Unfortunately debugging with Keil isn't possible. I use Minimon_XC16x (http://www.infineon.com) for downloading software into flash mem.

    Thnx for your help..

  • Hi Robert,

    was on vacation (so sorry for delay). Thanks for this feedback. But no reason to be worry about this. Minimon is the ultimate tool and is used from the Infineon people internal as the one and only.

    KEIL monitor I was not able to use with AA-steps (XC161 and XC164) there were a problem with build-in bootstraploader, which receives only 28 byte instead 32.But should be solved at later steps and with XC167.

    For programming without monitor you should use MEMTOOL3.2.6a or later.
    (You will find this at Infineon's WEB page under 16-bit micro --> appnotes.

  • Do you think it's possible to program flash mem in XC167 with Keil ? there are so many options and parameters to set..

  • Hi Robert,

    no, unfortunately this is not possible in your case, since the flash driver is based on the OCDS interface.
    ( You have mentioned your PCB does not support OCDS ).
    OCDS I have tested and it works for me since
    V4.27.

    In your case I would kindly ask you to use MEMTOOL,this works with all steps and all XC16x-types.
    ( Provides sectorbased erasing, flashing and verifying )

    I send you a short description with screenshots to your e-mail account.
    It is to use.
