Getting started with EVAL-IMM101T
The IMM101T devices are shipped with firmware and default parameters already programmed. The following
steps have to be performed in order to achieve a usable motor controller IC:
Programming of the Motion Control Engine (MCE)
Programming of parameter sets for system and motor
Programming of any customer scripts (optional)
Programming of the combined file for an integrated system (optional)
The iMOTION™ Software Tools MCEDesigner and MCEWizard are required in order to initially setup the system,
as well as to control and fine-tune the system performance to match users exact needs. These tools are available
for download via Infineon website (
http://www.infineon.com/imotion-software
). All supported tool and software
versions are listed there. Please visit this page periodically to check for tool/software updates.
Isolated on-board debugger provides the USB to UART bridge between the PC and the target iMOTION™ device
with 1kV DC galvanic isolation between the motor drive system (hot side) and the PC/debugger (cold) side. On-
board debugger uses the SEGGER J-Link driver for UART communication with IMM101T device. J-Link driver will
be installed during the MCEDesigner installation. In case the driver is not installed properly, please go to
to download and install the latest J-Link “Software and Documentation pack for Windows”.
This chapter provides more details on setting up the system and getting started with iMOTION™ development
platform.
Note:
Firmware update is recommended before using the Starter Kit in order to work with the latest
firmware release available.

Setting up the system
After downloading and installing the iMOTION™ PC Tools (MCEWizard and MCEDesigner), following steps need to
