2.2 Aurix ShieldBuddy TC275
The Aurix ShieldBuddy board requires the use of the “FreeEntryToolchain” to compile the Arduino Sketch
correctly. If not done already, please install the
FreeEntryToolchain to use the ShieldBuddy. Additionally, the
Board information must be integrated in the used Arduino IDE. Therefore, please download and install the
ShieldBuddyMulticoreIDE (Password: ShieldBuddy). Futher information can be found in the getting started
guide for ShieldBuddy .
2.3 Flash Arduino script
Once the software environment has been successfully installed, please follow the below listed steps in the
Standard Arduino IDE:

Select the microcontroller board you are using under Tools → Board.

Open the appropriate Arduino script (provided by Infineon) in the Arduion IDE via File → open.

Connect the microcontroller board to the PC via USB and select the correct COM port in the Arduino IDE
under Tools → Port

Open the Serial Monitor in the Arduino IDE under Tools → Serial Monitor and select the correct baud rate in
the lower right corner of the Seria Monitor
o
XMC setup: 230400 Baud
o
ShieldBuddy: 115200 Baud

Flash the script onto the microcontroller via Sketch → Upload

If the ShieldBuddy is used, please press the Reset button on the board
The starting menu in the Serial Monitor pops up after successful flashing of the Arduino script. Figure 13 shows
the start menu of the ShieldBuddy setup and Figure 14 shows the start menu of the XMC setup.
The commands that can be send to the Evalboard follow a structure. First, the addressed device is specified (80:
TLE8080EM, 82: TLE8082ES), followed directly by the actual command e.g. ch1 to switch the state of ch1. After a
space the intended action is specified e.g. “0” to disable ch1. The main menu is clusterd into four main
command sections:
 PWM menu: control of TLE8082EM CH1/3 and TLE8082ES CH1/3 with specified PWM signal
 SPI ON/OFF menu: on/off control of TLE8082EM CH2/4/5 and TLE8082ES CH2/4 via SPI

VRS menu: configuration of TLE8082EM VRS interface

COM5V/Tracker/AfterRun menu: control of voltage supply domains, afterrun option and diagnosis of all
channels
Please consider that the XMC software requires different commands than the ShieldBuddy software. The
command nomenclature for the XMC setup is given under the section “Key-in”.
