content: so, I downloaded the file "Infineon.XMC4000_DFP.2.9.1.pack"that should contain a lot of examples and good code for the XMC4500 Relax Kit boardbut ... I get strange errors when I try to import it into the PackageManagerI am on WindowsXP, and I can't switch to Windows7,8,10It seems everything you can download, even in the 32bit support, is ... for Windows7 at leastso, how can I get examples and code, now?damn

content: So, I got Keil MDK v5.18 (the last one available for WindowsXP/32bit)and I was able to import the Infineon's packages, including examplesunfortunately now the tool says that I need a special license among the followingMDK-PRO MDK Professional EditionMDK-PRO-T MDK Professional 1 year termMDK-PRO-FL MDK Professional Edition FloatingCurrently I have a MDK-ARM-FL MDK Standard Edition Floating, and the compiler refuses to use the special blocks requested by Infineon's PackagesIn short: I can compile a "led blinking" example (since I can directly address a gpio easily), but I can't compiler examples that use Ethernet, SD, Cordic-Engine, etc, those parts are pre-compiled-binaries and require a special licenseThe alternative sounds like writing everything from scratch, assembly, C, the whole BSP and drivers, which is of course possible but it's a very time consuming activity
