is XC167 ready for prime time?

I get the impression from Infineon and Keil that although the XC167 is supported (alive), it's not quite ready for prime time. Infineon's DaVE doesn't seem to include it in its device profile. I was wondering if anyone was using this CPU and what troubles they ran into trying to utilize its unique capabilities.

  • Thank you Stefan.
    After thoroughly reviewing the tools, CAN stack, and the pin compatibilites between the 167cr and the new xc167, we decided the best thing to do is to wait until we run out of horse power with the 167CR. Perhaps by then there will be an additional upgrade option like a faster 167cr that won't require us to do a massive port pin realignment.

    I would like the DIP file simply for reference but I can wait until it's more convenient for you or until we can find a common downloadable fpt or something.

  • Hi Marty,

    thanks for you feedback.
    At your point of view you are right.
    Pin compatibility is unfortunately not given.

    CAN stack may be too, I am not experienced this way.
    For I2C there is a new driver,
    CAN must be expand for the possibilities of TwinCAN module.
    Actually I test a beta for the XC16x LIN low level driver.
    ( Port to KEIL IDE is done, but hardware test is a "TO DO" ).

    For migration there is a good document available, but I guess you have it read too.
