Infineon XC164CM U CAN Start Kit User Manual
The XC164CM U CAN start kit is an evaluation platform for Infineon's 16‑bit XC164CM microcontroller, providing USB‑JTAG debugging and TwinCAN functionality with two CAN transceivers. It enables access to analog and digital I/O through a 10‑pin header and includes a pre‑loaded CAN application program with a GUI for demonstration.
The kit contains a USB stick with the SAF‑XC164CM‑OF40F MCU, a Tasking XC166 compiler, a HITEX HiTop debugger, and CAN demonstration programs. Setup is simplified to four easy steps, allowing quick connection to a laptop or PC via USB.
