These Microcontrollers, being supported by powerful peripherals had support for two different IDEs: Keils MDK and Infineons DAVE. While Keil is the definitive choice for most professionals (and expensive&hellip;), DAVE was an self-developed plug-and-play kind of programming tool, using Eclipse as framework. However, both tools were directed towards professional endusers and developers, while hobbyists and makers with less experience in ARM Cortex programming would have a sturdy learning curve. Seeing that, and the first tests of the fanproject <a class="link" href="https://code.google.com/archive/p/arduino-to-xmc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >XMC-to-Arduino</a> - Infineon decided to create an own boards package for the Arduino IDE. And thats what finally arrived some days ago :)!</p>
