If you are looking to get started, you can download the tool directly from Infineon’s software portal. For troubleshooting, ensure your miniWiggler drivers are up to date.
For non-bytewise erasable flash memories, it can simulate random access, making the programming process more efficient. It acts as the bridge between your PC
| Problem | Likely Cause | Solution | |---|---|---| | Memtool cannot connect to device | IDE using DAS port | Close all IDEs (ADS/TASKING/HIGHTEC) before launching Memtool | | Initialization error on startup | Incorrect target chip configuration | Click "ignore", then select Target → Change → choose correct configuration | | "Not ready" error for certain memory areas | UCB or other memory not enabled | Select the memory area and check "Enable" before programming | | BSL communication fails | Wrong COM port selected | Go to Target → Setup and verify COM port setting | | Device not detected by DAS Scanner | Physical connection issue | Check cable connections, power supply, and HWCFG pin settings for Bootstrap mode | | Installation blocked | Antivirus interference | Temporarily disable antivirus before installation |
Before installing MemTool 4.9, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
