ModusToolbox 2.2 is a pre-requisite for patch installation. If not already installed, be sure to install ModusToolbox 2.2 before applying the patch.

ModusToolbox 2.2 now supports PSoC 4000S, 4100S, 4100S Plus and 4100S Plus 256KB devices. If you already have ModusToolbox 2.2 installed, you can start creating PSoC 4 projects without any additional downloads – simply open the Project Creator GUI and select one of the PSoC 4 Board Support Packages.

See Getting Started with PSoC 4 for more information on PSoC 4 application development using ModusToolbox.

See the release notes for the list of available peripheral driver libraries, and supported software and tools.

New in ModusToolbox 2.2

The 2.2 release of ModusToolbox adds support for shared libraries, GUI improvements to the Project Creator tool, enhanced access to on-chip analog routing, programmer/debugger updates and a new version of the GNU C Compiler.

Shared Library Management

We heard from our users that creating and updating projects was just a bit too time-consuming, so we have implemented a library sharing mechanism that lets projects share commonly used content without having to fetch all the source code from github every time. It really speeds up project creation and can make new libraries available to multiple projects in a single step. Check out the Library Manager User Guide to learn how our examples utilize the new flow and how you can optimize the time you spend setting up applications.

The changes to the tools are completely backward-compatible, of course, and the old flow remains fully supported. You can update ModusToolbox and continue working on your current projects and even create new ones (by cloning previous versions of the GitHub project) with no change to the user experience or functionality.

Project Creator GUI Update

Now that ModusToolbox supports multiple projects accessing a shared set of libraries, we added the ability to create multiple application projects in one step. Now you do not need to repeatedly pick the BSP, choose the application, enter the name and create the project. You just pick the BSP, once, then check and name every example you want to use.

Improved Routing Options for SAR ADC

The Device Configurator has been updated to increase the routing options to the SAR block. In addition to the SAR port pins you can now connect to other analog resources such as the OPAMPs and CTDAC. Whether you just need a controllable voltage source, a signal buffer, or are looking to build an on-chip amplifier, the Analog Routing Viewer/Editor gives you access to the famous PSoC flexibility and enables unparalleled design integration.

Programming and Debugging Improvements

The KitProg3 firmware, used in the MiniProg programmer and on-board debugger chips (PSoC 5LP), has been updated (v2.10) to improve bulk endpoint handling, which increases the throughput of data across an I2C or SPI bridge. In addition, OpenOCD (v4.1) has been updated to pick up the latest fixes and improvements.

GNU Compiler Update

ModusToolbox now ships with v9.3.1 of the GNU compiler and all code examples and libraries have been validated to ensure they build and run with the new toolchain.

The IAR (v8) and Arm (v6) C Compilers remain fully supported.

This package enables you to use ModusToolbox™ Project Creator and Library Manager tools without a persistent internet connection. It contains all the ModusToolbox™ repos referenced in the ModusToolbox™ manifest files. We continue to recommend working with the online content - so you always have access to the latest software - but this is a useful alternative method of accessing libraries for users who are frequently working offline.

ModusToolbox™ Offline Content Package v1.2 (April 2022) is now available from the Infineon Developer Center, here:

https://softwaretools.infineon.com/tools/com.ifx.tb.tool.modustoolboxofflinecontentpackage

Installation

1. If you do not already have a hidden directory named .modustoolbox in your home directory, create one. Using Cygwin on Windows for example:

mkdir -p "$USERPROFILE/.modustoolbox"

Note: If you installed ModusToolbox™ in a non-default location, modify the command for the appropriate location of the .modustoolbox folder. Refer to the ModusToolbox™ Installation Guide for additional details (cypress.com/ModusToolboxInstallGuide).

2. Extract the ZIP archive to the ~/.modustoolbox sub-directory in your home directory. The resulting path should be: ~/.modustoolbox/offline.

The following is a Cygwin on Windows command-line example to use for extracting the content:

unzip -qbod "$USERPROFILE/.modustoolbox" modustoolbox-offline-content.zip

Note: If you previously installed a copy of the offline content, you should delete the existing ~/.modustoolbox/offline directory before extracting the archive. Using Cygwin on Windows for example:

rm -rf "$USERPROFILE/.modustoolbox/offline"

Usage

To use the Project Creator CLI in offline mode, execute the tool with the --offline argument. For example:

project-creator-cli --board-id CY8CPROTO-062-4343W --app-id mtb-example-psoc6-hello-world --offline

To use the Project Creator GUI or Library Manager GUI in offline mode, select 'Offline' from the 'Settings' menu (refer to the appropriate user guide for details).

The tools execute the "make getlibs" command under the hood to download/update the firmware libraries. To execute the 'getlibs' target in offline mode, pass the CY_GETLIBS_OFFLINE=true argument:

make getlibs CY_GETLIBS_OFFLINE=true

Refer to the ModusToolbox™ User Guide for additional details (cypress.com/ModusToolboxUserGuide).

Third-Party Dependencies

ModusToolbox™ Offline Content might include 3rd-party code libraries that include a subset of their project history. If you would like to download the full historical information for third-party content manually, execute the following commands in a terminal:

git -C ~/.modustoolbox/offline/git/https___git.savannah.nongnu.org_git_lwip/lwip fetch --unshallow

git -C ~/.modustoolbox/offline/git/https___github.com_ARMmbed_mbedtls/mbedtls fetch --unshallow

git -C ~/.modustoolbox/offline/git/https___github.com_aws_aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C/aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C fetch --unshallow

git -C ~/.modustoolbox/offline/git/https___github.com_JuulLabs-OSS_mcuboot/mcuboot fetch --unshallow

Note: If you installed ModusToolbox™ in a non-default location, modify the command for the appropriate location of the .modustoolbox folder. Refer to the ModusToolbox™ Installation Guide for additional details (cypress.com/ModusToolboxInstallGuide).
