The updated MemTool (v4.50+) brings significant improvements over the legacy v4.x versions:
1. Unified User Interface The tool now features a modernized, intuitive graphical user interface (GUI). The workflow has been streamlined into a logical sequence: Connect > Select Device > Program. This reduces the learning curve for new engineers and speeds up the workflow for production staff.
2. Expanded Device Support The new tool ensures full support for Infineon’s latest silicon, including: infineon memtool 49 new
3. UCB and DSRAM Handling (Crucial for AURIX) One of the most significant updates is improved handling of UCB (User Configuration Blocks). For AURIX developers, managing start-up configurations and security settings is critical. The new MemTool allows for easier programming and verification of UCBs, as well as access to DSRAM (Data Scratchpad RAM) for debugging and testing without altering Flash.
4. Improved Performance The new engine offers faster download speeds and verification times compared to the older v4.x architecture, optimizing the time spent on the test bench. The updated MemTool (v4
5. HEX File Management Users can now load Intel Hex, Motorola S-Record, and binary files. The tool provides a detailed view of the memory map, allowing users to verify exactly which sectors will be erased or programmed before clicking the "Start" button.
While previous Memtools ran on Windows XP/7, Memtool 49 New requires Windows 10 (64-bit) or Windows 11. It is optimized for ARM64 processors (like the Snapdragon X Elite) as well as traditional x86_64. Select Device >
