Chip-Level Editor
2.2 Create a Project
In order to program the desired functionality into a PSoC device, you need to first create a project
directory in which the files and device configurations reside.
1. To start a new project, select New Project from the File menu.
Figure 2-2. New Project Dialog Box
The System-Level Editor creates a special environment that allows it to generate all necessary
program code based on the elements and logic in the System-Level Project. If you start with an
System-Level Project, you can eventually edit in the Chip-Level Editor. The converse is not true.
If you start with a Chip-Level Project, the environment necessary to generate code from System-
Level designs is not initiated and System-Level Editor functions are disabled in that project.
2. Choose a name and location for the project. By default, a project is created inside a workspace
with the same name as the project, the project is stored in the project directory. If you plan to cre-
ate multiple projects in a single workspace (for example, if your project will use multiple PSoC
devices), click Create a directory for workspace and supply a name for the first project. When
you are finished, click Next.
