Exploring Infineon MemTool 49: A Comprehensive Overview

DAP

It connects via standard debug interfaces: (Device Access Port), SPD (Single-Pin Debug), JTAG , and CAN (for bootloader flashing on some devices). infineon memtool 49

DAVE™ IDE

Note: Infineon is gradually transitioning some users to the or Aurix Development Studio (ADS) , which have built-in flashing tools, but MemTool remains the standard standalone tool for production line flashing and field updates. Launch Memtool → Select device family and specific

Version 4.9 provides comprehensive support for both legacy and current high-performance Infineon silicon: use Target &gt

1. Launch Memtool → Select device family and specific part number.
2. Configure connection (e.g., DAS → USB → MiniWiggler V3).
3. Connect to target – reads device ID, core status, and halt core.
4. Load application (File → Load HEX). Choose options:
   1. Verify Clock Settings: Always double-check the external clock frequency. An incorrect setting will cause baud rate errors and unpredictable programming.
   2. Use Slow Speeds for Bootstrap: 115200 baud might work on a bench but fail in noisy factory environments. Use 19200 for production.
   3. Backup Entire Flash First: Before programming a customer-board, use Target > Upload to File to read the existing flash and EEPROM contents.
   4. Separate Bootloader and App: Program the bootloader sector first with MEMTool, then use locking options to protect it. Then program the application via UART.
   5. Log Everything: Enable Options > Log to File. This creates a timestamped record of every programming action—invaluable for ISO/TS 16949 compliance.
