Installation Instructions

Prework for SEGGER J-Link

In order to use and program the Infineon XMC microcontrollers in the Arduino IDE, SEGGER J-Link must be installed on your PC. Please follow this link to SEGGER J-Link and install the J-Link Software and Documentation Pack for your operating system. If you have already installed 'DAVE™ - Development Platform for XMC™ Microcontrollers', you can skip this step as the respective drivers/programs are already installed on your system.

Using Arduino IDE

Paste the following URL into the 'Additional Boards Manager URLs' input field under File > Preferences to add Infineon's microcontroller boards to the Arduino IDE.

https://github.com/Infineon/XMC-for-Arduino/releases/latest/download/package_infineon_index.json

Easier to copy (no clickable link):

https://github.com/Infineon/XMC-for-Arduino/releases/latest/download/package_infineon_index.json

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE! ⚠️ The former "package_infineon_index.json" URL will no longer be maintained after version 1.4.0. Upcoming versions will not be shown available in the board manager.
