Flashing your custom firmware using ModusToolbox™

This topic provides instructions for flashing custom firmware onto Infineon boards using ModusToolbox™ to facilitate real-time data collection and model evaluation.

ℹ️

To facilitate understanding, we will demonstrate the process of flashing custom firmware on Infineon PSoC™ 6 AI Evaluation Kit. You can follow the same steps to flash the firmware on other Infineon boards that support flashing through ModusToolbox™.

⚠️

For flashing information on boards other than Infineon boards, refer to your specific board documentation.

Pre-requisites:

Flashing the firmware using ModusToolbox™

Flashing the firmware using ModusToolbox consists of two parts:

  • Create and build the project
  • Flash and run the project
Create and Build the project

  1. Open ModusToolbox™ > Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox™ from the Windows Start menu. The Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox window appears.

  2. Browse and select the workspace directory for your project.

  3. Click Launch to open the ModusToolbox™ workspace.

  4. Select New Application from the Quick Panel or navigate to File> New> Modus Toolbox™ Application to open the Project Creator Tool.

  5. Expand PSoC™6 BSPs, select CY8CKIT-062S2-AI as the BSP for your board and click Next. The Select Application window appears.

  6. Click Browse for Application and select the folder containing your Custom Firmware.

  7. Select the checkbox against the firmware and click to change the firmware name to something concise, for instance custom_firmware.

  8. Click Create to create the project. After the project is created successful, the following window appears.

  9. Right-click the custom_firmware project and select Build Project or click Build Application in the Quick panel to build the project.

Flash and Run the project

  1. Connect the KitProg3 USB connector (J1) port on the board with the PC using the USB cable.

  2. In Quick Panel> Launches, click custom_firmware_Program. The firmware is flashed on the development kit.

  3. Disconnect the USB cable from KitProg3 USB connector (J1) and connect to KitProg3 USB connector (J2) port on the board.
