I tested the build on MacOS with branch updated-psoc6-readme following the instructions in the Readme. (softlink ~/ModusToolbox is not needed any more)

The PATh was adjusted with export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/make/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
and everything compiled just fine, but I haven’t tried the make „program“ target yet.

In my opinion the remarks for building on MacOS are comprehensive but one sentence leaded me into a trap when I tried my first build:

„Install ModusToolbox. Minimum version required is 3.0.“

When you install the ModusToolbox with ModusToolboxSetup you can only install version 3.4 and I thought it would be OK because it is higher than 3.0. But 3.4 has a different compiler version.

Therefore I would leave out the word „Minimum“ and add a link to the download of ModusToolbox 3.4 for MacOS. (https://softwaretools.infineon.com/tools/com.ifx.tb.tool.modustoolbox)

When I downgraded from ModusToolbox 3.4 to ModusToolbox 3.4
This line in tools/psoc6/dev-setup.sh grabbed both versions (3.0 and 3.4)
echo ${mtb_path}/tools_*

I am not sure how to handle this (grab fist, last or restrict to tools_3.0 for now)
As soon as possible I will try target „program“ (I used ModusToolbox Programmer)

Thanks for checking again @jkorte-dev 😺
You are right. The specification of the the only validated version being 3.0 is missing. Sorry. I will add that.
In the future, we have to evaluate and enable the compatibility with new 3.x versions.

Regarding ${mtb_path}/tool_* ... I see that can lead to problems if you have different versions of the MTB installed. So maybe we should fix it to 3.0 until we can support other versions and filter the compatible ones. Only once we have checked the later versions.

I tested target "program" now and it worked like a charm :-)

Perfect. Glad to hear 👏

Thanks a lot for reviewing!

The README.md is now updated the script fixing the tools to 3.0. If you have multiple versions of the ModusToolbox it shouldn´t be a problem now.
