Software quality, functional safety and security are the key aspects of activity and cover the entire development process. With tools for development, testing, static code analysis as well as safety components, Hitex helps to make embedded systems more powerful, safer and secure, and to shorten development time.
The ShieldBuddy TC375 is currently the smallest AURIX™ development board in the world. The ShieldBuddy TC375 is equipped with the 32-bit multi-core processor TC375 from Infineon and complies with the Arduino™ standard. Thus the ShieldBuddy TC375 is suitable for highest safety standards and requirements.
In addition to the built-in CAN transceiver and a USB debug interface, the integrated TLF35584 power supply with safety monitor extends the capabilities of the ShieldBuddy TC375.
In addition, evaluation licenses for numerous development tools are available, making the ShieldBuddy TC375 ideal for entry level real-time embedded industrial or automotive applications. This enables the efficient evaluation and testing of safety concepts.
'With the further development of the ShieldBuddy TC275 to the ShieldBuddy TC375 we have taken our development board to the next level. Due to its excellent safety capabilities, our ShieldBuddy TC375 is not only suitable for complex and safety-relevant projects in industry, but also in medical technology', says Jörg Stender, Managing Director of Hitex GmbH.

Available MCAL driver packages :
Basic AUTOSAR package MC-ISAR:
- MCU (Microcontroller Unit) driver: provides services for basic microcontroller initialization, power down functionality, reset and microcontroller specific functions
- WDG (Watchdog) driver: provides services for initialization, changing the operation mode and triggering the watchdog
- GPT (General Purpose Timer) driver: uses the hardware timer channels of the general-purpose timer unit
- SPI handler/driver: provides services for reading from and writing to devices connected via SPI busses (e.g. EEPROM, Watchdog, I/O ASICs).
- PORT driver: provides the service for initializing the whole PORT structure of the microcontroller. The DIO driver works on pins and ports which are configured by the PORT driver.
- DIO driver: provides services for reading and writing to/from DIO channels (pins), DIO ports, DIO channel groups
- ICU (Input Capture Unit) driver: for demodulation of a PWM signal, counting pulses, measuring of frequency and duty cycle, generating simple interrupts and also wakeup interrupts
- PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) driver: generates pulses with variable pulse width. It allows the selection of the duty cycle and the signal period time.
- ADC (Analogue Digital Converter) driver: provides services to start and stop a conversion respectively to enable and disable the trigger source for a conversion.
MC-ISAR COM package:
- CAN driver: provides services for CAN transmissions
- CanTrcv CAN transceiver driver: provides services to control the transceiver hardware which detects electrical malfunctions, supports power supply control and wake up via the bus.
- LIN driver: applies to LIN 2.0 master nodes
MC-ISAR MEM package:
- FLASH driver: provides services for reading, writing and erasing flash memory and handling write / erase protection
- FEE driver: provides services for the Flash EEPROM Emulation
In addition to standardized modules AUTOSAR provides the possibility of complex driver for non-standardized hardware module. To efficiently exploit the hardware MCAL Complex Drivers are an essential component for hardware abstraction.
