5.1.3 Programming Interface

The BLE Pioneer Kit allows you to program and debug the PSoC 4 BLE/PRoC BLE in two ways:

Using the onboard KitProg

Using a CY8CKIT-002 MiniProg3 programmer and debugger

5.1.4 Expansion Connectors

5.1.4.1 Arduino-Compatible Headers (J1, J2, J3, J4, and J12-unpopulated)

The BLE Pioneer Kit has five Arduino-compatible headers: J1, J2, J3, J4, and J12, as shown in

Figure 5-9. You can develop applications based on the Arduino shield's hardware.

Figure 5-9. Arduino Headers

The J1 header contains I/O pins for reset, I/O reference voltage (IOREF), and power supply line. The

J2 header is an analog port that contains I/O pins for SAR ADC, comparator, and opamp. The J3

header is primarily a digital port that contains I/O pins for PWM, I

C, SPI, and analog reference. The

J4 header is also a digital port that contains I/O pins for UART and PWM. The J12 header is an

Arduino ICSP-compatible header for the SPI interface and is not populated. Refer to the “No Load

Components” section of Bill of Materials (BOM) on page 118 for the header part number.
