DAvE (Infineon)
DAVE, or Digital Application Virtual Engineer, is a software development and code generation tool for microcontroller applications created in C/C++.
Versions
Version 4 (beta)
The successor of the Eclipse-based development environment for C/C++ and/or graphical user interface based development using application software. It generates code for the latest XMC1xxx and XMC4xxx microcontrollers using ARM Cortex-M processors. DAVE software development kit is a free integrated development environment to set up its own apps for DAVE.Version 3
Automatic code generation is based on the use of case-oriented, configurable, and tested software components, called DAVE Apps. They are comparable to executable and configurable application notes that can be downloaded from the web. The environment is based on Eclipse. Ordinary program development using C/C++ is also available. The targets for this development are XMC1xxx and XMC4xxx microcontrollers that use Cortex-M processors.Previous versions
This version targets 32-bit microcontroller units, 16-bit MCUs, and 8-bit MCUs from Infineon. After the initial setup, the configuration wizard appears and gives an overview of the hardware peripherals, control units, and modules. The microcontroller application can be created by selecting the desired functions. At this step, module-specific functions must be selected for module initializing and control. Finally, the application source files will be generated by DAVE and embedded in a project in the selected development environment, where the code can still be modified or added to an extant project.DAVE-related software
Infineon also developed additional software that can be used in conjunction with DAVE for specific microcontroller families or additional hardware: DAVE Bench for XC800 is a platform providing free development tools for Infineon's 8-bit microcontroller family, based on the Open Source Eclipse architecture.DAVE Drive is a GUI-based software tool that allows application developers to create embedded software for the control of brushless synchronous three-phase motors.
