Hello,

I did a clean install of the 64-bit Version and there is no Ethernet App showing up for the XMC4800/XMC4700.

Check for updates shows the following error:
Some sites could not be found. See the error log for more detail.
No repository found at http://dave.infineon.com/Luna/v4.1/Doxygen.
No repository found at http://dave.infineon.com/Luna/v4.1/64Bit-ARM-GCC.

Install new software window shows:


I am also curious about the 4.1 Version numbers.

As I said. It's a plain new install after deinstalling the DAVE 4.1.1 Version.

Hello,

I got a question concering the example projects. I am searching the USBD_WINUSB_example, but it isn't visible on the web example portal. Will this app be uploded soon? Or is there a similar app?

Regards,

Markus

Answer to HRush,
The issues with the two missing plug-in links will be solved soon, there is no functional issues associated with them.
The reason why you don’t find the ETH_LWIP APP is most likely because the new APPs haven’t been installed yet. (The installer install only a new library store if there isn’t one in location: ..\Users\\Infineon\DLibraryStore_4.1, in your case I assume there is already one from the earlier DAVE installation).

Please do the following to install all new APPs and updates.
Press ->Help ->Install DAVE APP/ Example/ Device Library
Select in Work with: DAVE APPs Library Manager
Select all DAVE APPs, DEVICE_PACK and Library_DAVEDeviceDescriptions and follow further instructions.

Version number 4.1: There is no relation about APP version and DAVE version; we started with DAVE APP version 4.x.y for DAVE v4 that’s it.

Answer to MReinhardt:
There is currently no example project for USBD_WINUSB APP available. However, the usage section the Help document of this DAVE APP describes the basic usage, may be this helps.
To open the help document use right mouse click on the APP then select APP Help, or open the eclipses help content from the Help menu and look for the USBD_WINUSB APP in the DAVE APPs folder.

After updating to 4.2.2 the issue with not working key combinations (e.g. CTRL+H) and with
disappearing icons (e.g. back) in the toolbar, when changing the view, still exists.

Very annoying.

Will do a clean install and pray...
