Development Tool Selection
Software
PSoC Designer™
At the core of the PSoC development software suite is PSoC
Designer, used to generate PSoC firmware applications. PSoC
Designer is a Microsoft® Windows-based, integrated devel-
opment environment for the Programmable System-on-Chip
(PSoC) devices. The PSoC Designer IDE and application runs
on Windows XP and Windows Vista.
This system provides design database management by project,
an integrated debugger with In-Circuit Emulator, in-system
programming support, and built-in support for third-party assem-
blers and C compilers. PSoC Designer also supports C language
compilers developed specifically for the devices in the PSoC
family. PSoC Designer is available free of charge at
http://www.cypress.com/psocdesigner and includes a free C
compiler.
PSoC Designer Software Subsystems
You choose a base device to work with and then select different
onboard analog and digital components called user modules that
use the PSoC blocks. Examples of user modules are ADCs,
DACs, Amplifiers, and Filters. You configure the user modules
for your chosen application and connect them to each other and
to the proper pins. Then you generate your project. This prepop-
ulates your project with APIs and libraries that you can use to
program your application.
The tool also supports easy development of multiple configura-
tions and dynamic reconfiguration. Dynamic reconfiguration
allows for changing configurations at run time. Code Generation
Tools PSoC Designer supports multiple third-party C compilers
and assemblers. The code generation tools work seamlessly
within the PSoC Designer interface and have been tested with a
full range of debugging tools. The choice is yours.
Assemblers. The assemblers allow assembly code to be
merged seamlessly with C code. Link libraries automatically use
absolute addressing or are compiled in relative mode, and linked
with other software modules to get absolute addressing.
C Language Compilers. C language compilers are available
that support the PSoC family of devices. The products allow you
to create complete C programs for the PSoC family devices. The
optimizing C compilers provide all the features of C tailored to
the PSoC architecture. They come complete with embedded
libraries providing port and bus operations, standard keypad and
display support, and extended math functionality.
Debugger
PSoC Designer has a debug environment that provides
hardware in-circuit emulation, allowing you to test the program in
a physical system while providing an internal view of the PSoC
device. Debugger commands allow the designer to read and
program and read and write data memory, read and write I/O
registers, read and write CPU registers, set and clear break-
points, and provide program run, halt, and step control. The
debugger also allows the designer to create a trace buffer of
registers and memory locations of interest.

In-Circuit Emulator
A low cost, high functionality In-Circuit Emulator (ICE) is
available for development support. This hardware has the
capability to program single devices. The emulator consists of a
base unit that connects to the PC by way of a USB port. The base
unit is universal and operates with all PSoC devices. Emulation
pods for each device family are available separately. The
emulation pod takes the place of the PSoC device in the target
board and performs full speed (24MHz) operation.
Standard Cypress PSoC IDE tools are available for debugging
the CY8C20x36A/46A/66A/96A family of parts. However, the
additional trace length and a minimal ground plane in the Flex-
Pod can create noise problems that make it difficult to debug the
design. A custom bonded On-Chip Debug (OCD) device is
available in a 48-pin QFN package. The OCD device is recom-
mended for debugging designs that have high current and/or
high analog accuracy requirements. The QFN package is
compact and is connected to the ICE through a high density
connector.
PSoC Programmer
PSoC Programmer is flexible enough and is used on the bench
in development and is also suitable for factory programming.
PSoC Programmer works either as a standalone programming
application or operates directly from PSoC Designer. PSoC
Programmer software is compatible with both PSoC ICE Cube
In-Circuit Emulator and PSoC MiniProg. PSoC programmer is
available free of cost at
http://www.cypress.com/psocprogrammer..
Development Kits
All development kits are sold at the Cypress Online Store.
CY3215-DK Basic Development Kit
The CY3215-DK is for prototyping and development with PSoC
Designer. This kit supports in-circuit emulation and the software
interface enables users to run, halt, and single step the
processor and view the content of specific memory locations.
PSoC Designer supports the advance emulation features also.
