Infineon, Memfault join forces to enhance edge application development
Memfault, an IoT reliability platform, has partnered with Infineon, a semiconductor manufacturer, to enhance the productivity of engineers using Infineon ModusToolbox. The goal of the collaboration is to provide developers with diagnostic capabilities, device observability and remote updating of the Memfault platform. Memfault became a part of the ModusToolbox ecosystem through the ModusToolbox and friends program.
According to the companies, by integrating Memfault with Infineon, engineers can develop products at a quicker pace and fix any problems more efficiently with the in-field maintenance abilities. By using this product, staff can view metrics and performance of embedded devices remotely, as well as receive debugging information without user interaction. In addition, release managers can coordinate complicated firmware updates over the air.
“Combining Infineon’s Microcontroller and Connectivity portfolio and Memfault’s strength in reliability engineering for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE, connected devices, as well as its customers in complementary verticals like wearables, smart home and building, medical devices, and IoT made it an easy choice to partner,” said Danny Watson, the director of software product management at Infineon.
Infineon ModusToolbox is a software development environment that supports various microcontroller devices. Examples include PSoC Arm Cortex, XMC Industrial microcontrollers and AIROC Wi-Fi devices. The ModusToolbox software comprises a machine learning section and a connectivity part. The former enables users to evaluate and deploy machine learning models on Infineon microcontrollers.
The primary aim for ModusToolbox 3.0 was to ease the development process of dual-core applications and provide support for simultaneous debugging. According to Infineon, the ModusToolbux 3.0 streamlines development by making it possible to create and manage projects for dual-core applications.
The integration offers drop-in support that saves users time, and as part of the announcement, customers will receive up to 100 devices for free. Memfault’s integration documentation and support for ModusToolbox covers Infineon PSoC 6 series devices, such as the PSoC 62 microcontroller on CY8CKIT-062S2-43012.
“With ModusToolbox, Infineon has built a sophisticated platform that lays the ground for a vibrant ecosystem to develop,” said François Baldassari, the CEO of Memfault. “We are thrilled to join the ModuxToolbox & Friends development program to help grow this ecosystem and give Infineon customers access to our cloud-first IoT reliability platform.”
