Software installers

The downloads area contains all the necessary software to work with imperix products.

Among others, the software development kits (SDK) are available for direct download. Besides, links to a few templates and examples are also provided.

For additional information, please consult our online knowledge base.

Software downloads for hardware rev. 3.0

The following downloads apply to the latest imperix controllers, namely the B-Box RCP, the B-Box Micro, the B-Board PRO and the TPI8032.

Downloads related to previous products are located at the bottom of this page.

Software Development Kits (SDK)

The two kits contain all the necessary tools to support the quick and easy development of embedded control software. This ranges from the development environments themselves, to simulation models, compilers, supporting libraries, as well as debugging tools.

Depending on the selected SDK, programming of the power electronic controllers can be done from Simulink, PLECS, or the Imperix C/C++ IDE.

What’s new in release 2024.2?

Computer requirements
ACG SDK:
  • Windows 10 and 11 (not tested on Windows 8, macOS not supported)
  • MATLAB 2016a to MATLAB 2024a (Simulink downloads), with the following blocksets: Embedded Coder, MATLAB Coder and Simulink Coder. Licenses only delivered by The Mathworks, or alternatively
  • PLECS standalone 4.5 or more recent (PLECS downloads) with PLECS Coder add-on. Licenses only delivered by Plexim GmbH
CPP SDK:
  • Windows 10 and 11 (not tested on Windows 8, macOS not supported)
Getting started with the computer software

Developing control applications with the ACG-SDK is generally considered as intuitive by most engineers, on both Simulink and PLECS.

Nevertheless, a few useful recommendations are provided in the associated quick-start documentation.

As the imperix IDE is based on the well-known Eclipse environment, users are often already familiar with the development tools and can get started very easily.

Nevertheless, some useful advice is given in the quick-start guide.

Additional resources

Some of the following resources are already available in the SDK installation folder. They are also available here for convenience.

Legacy software

The following downloads apply to BoomBox HW2.0/2.1 only. This equipment was discontinued in May 2020.
