# KIT_XMC43_RELAX_ECAT_V1 BSP Release Notes
The XMC4300 microcontroller series further reduces complexity in EtherCAT implementation and cost in factory automation, industrial motor control, I/O modules and robotics. The XMC4300 series was specifically developed for EtherCAT industrial applications, where cost pressure places a premium on design flexibility, connectivity and performance without compromise to EtherCAT communication features.     
**Note:**
Programming this kit requires installing

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_XMC43_RELAX_ECAT_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
* Configurator design files (and generated code) to setup board specific peripherals
* .lib file references for all dependent libraries
* API documentation

### What Changed?
#### v2.2.0
* Added functionality to enable BSP Assistant chip flow
* Added capabilities to match BSPS created by BSP Assistant chip flow
#### v2.1.0

#### v2.0.0
Note: This revision is only compatible with ModusToolbox Tools 3.0 and newer.
* Updated recipe-make, core-make, and XMClib to new major versions
* Regenerated code with Configurators from ModusToolbox™ v3.0.0
* Renamed top level board makefile to bsp.mk
* Removed version.xml file in favor of new props.json
#### v1.0.0
* Initial production release
#### v0.5.0
* Initial pre-production release
