Using ERIKA with AURIX TC29x
Posted: Wed Feb 17, 2016 11:09 am
Hi,
I will get a new board with an TC29x soon and I´m questioning whether a migration of the application from the tc27x to the tc29x will work out, since there is no official support for the tc29x.
I looked into the folder "mcu" and recognized two folders related to the TriCore:
-infineon_common_tc2Yx
-infineon_tc27x
I couldn´t find any reference in ERIKA to the folder infineon_tc27x and therefore I think it´s useless at the moment?
infineon_common_tc2Yx officially works for tc26x and tc27x and I think, most likely for tc29x as well, because
a) tc29x has a higher cpu frequency, but this can be adjusted in the OIL-File.
b) tc29x has more RAM and Flash but the memory map should be compatible with tc27x.
c) same core architecture
d) the important peripherals for ERIKA (STM and Interrupts) are also available on the tc29x
My point of view is currently, that no changes are needed in the "mcu"-folder for the migration unless I want to use the bigger memory. Do you see any problems/concerns with the migration?
Best Regards,
Alex
