1. Introduction
The Infineon DAS Programmer is a versatile tool designed for reading, writing, burning, and flashing Infineon automotive microcontrollers. It supports a wide range of TriCore, AURIX, XC16x, XC800, XC2000, XE166, XMC1000, and XMC4000 series chips, making it an essential device for automotive electronics development and repair.
2. Setup
2.1 System Requirements
The DAS Programmer supports Windows 32/64 bit operating systems, including Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 10.
2.2 Package Contents
Verify that all items are present in your package:
- 1 x DAP miniWiggler programmer unit
- 1 x 1.5-meter USB-B square port data cable
- 1 x 14P-2.54mm spacing cable
2.3 Hardware Connection
Connect the programmer to your target device using the provided 14P-2.54mm spacing cable. The read/write interface requires connection to 8 specific wires:
- VCC (Voltage Common Collector)
- GND (Ground)
- TDI (Test Data In)
- TDO (Test Data Out)
- TCK (Test Clock)
- TMS (Test Mode Select)
- TRST (Test Reset)
- RESET (System Reset)
3. Operating Instructions
Once the hardware is connected and the necessary drivers are installed on your Windows system, you can proceed with programming operations using the appropriate Infineon software (e.g., Memtool, DAS Device Scanner).
3.1 Software Interface Overview
The programming software provides an interface to select the target chip, load firmware files, and initiate read, write, or erase operations. Ensure the correct chip series is selected before proceeding.
3.2 Programming Steps (General)
- Connect the programmer to your computer via the USB cable.
- Connect the 14P cable from the programmer to the target microcontroller's JTAG/DAP interface.
- Launch the Infineon programming software (e.g., Memtool).
- Select the correct target device/chip model within the software.
- Load the firmware file (.hex, .elf, etc.) you wish to program.
- Initiate the desired operation (e.g., 'Program', 'Erase', 'Verify', 'Read').
- Monitor the software's diagnostic log for status and completion messages.
4. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and reliable operation of your DAS Programmer, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Keep the device clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
- Store the programmer in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Avoid exposing the device to moisture or corrosive substances.
- Handle cables and connectors with care to prevent damage to pins or internal wiring.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your DAS Programmer, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Device Not Detected: Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the programmer and the computer. Verify that the necessary drivers are installed correctly for your operating system. Try a different USB port or cable.
- Programming Errors: Double-check the wiring connections to the target chip, especially the VCC, GND, and JTAG/DAP pins. Confirm that the correct chip model is selected in the programming software. Ensure the target chip is powered correctly.
- Software Issues: Restart the programming software and/or your computer. Ensure you are using the latest version of the Infineon programming tools.
- LED Indicators: Observe the 'RUN' and 'POWER' LEDs on the programmer. Refer to the software documentation for specific LED behavior interpretations.
