# KIT_XMC1400_DC_V1 BSP Release Notes
The XMC1400 Drive Card houses the XMC1402 Microcontroller, a power board connector, a set of position interface circuits with hall and encoder connectors, a USIC interface and an isolated on-board debug interface. The board along with a three phase inverter demonstrates the capabilities of the XMC1402. The main use case for this board is to demonstrate the motor control features of XMC1402 device including tool chain. The focus is safe operation under evaluation conditions. The board is neither cost nor size optimized and does not serve as a reference design.     
**Note:**
Programming this kit requires installing 
[SEGGER J-Link software](https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/#J-LinkSoftwareAndDocumentationPack)

NOTE: BSPs are versioned by family. This means that version 1.2.0 of any BSP in a family (eg: PSoC™ 6) will have the same software maturity level. However, not all updates are necessarily applicable for each BSP in the family so not all version numbers will exist for each board. Additionally, new BSPs may not start at version 1.0.0. In the event of adding a common feature across all BSPs, the libraries are assigned the same version number. For example if BSP_A is at v1.3.0 and BSP_B is at v1.2.0, the event will trigger a version update to v1.4.0 for both BSP_A and BSP_B. This allows the common feature to be tracked in a consistent way.

### What's Included?
The KIT_XMC1400_DC_V1 library includes the following:
* BSP specific makefile to configure the build process for the board
* cybsp.c/h files to initialize the board and any system peripherals
* cybsp_types.h file describing basic board setup
* Linker script & startup code for GCC and ARM toolchains
