Prerequisites

It is assumed that you have already set up a compatible Raspberry Pi with Raspberry Pi OS or similar and that the hardware setup is already done. If this is not the case, please refer to the getting started page.

Required Software

• Raspberry Pi OS or similar
• git
• bcm2835 library
• build-essential
• Infineon multi-half-bridge library (this library)

Library Installation

The library itself does not have to be installed. It is sufficient to clone it from GitHub to compile the example code. However, beforehand the required packets have to be installed:

Install required packages.

sudo apt-get install git build-essential

Clone this library from GitHub.

git clone https://github.com/Infineon/multi-half-bridge.git

Install BCM2835 library

cd multi-half-bridge/src/framework/raspberrypi
chmod +x ./install_requirements.sh
./install_requirements.sh

The BCM2835 library is needed to access the SPI peripheral of the Raspberry Pi.
