6. Click OK. Your workspace directory with folders is created and is listed in the Workspace
Explorer. If the Workspace Explorer is not visible, choose Workspace Explorer from the View
menu.
2.2.1 Clone a Project
Cloning a project is used when you want to convert an existing project to a different PSoC part. The
part is referred to as the “base” part.
You can clone an existing project at any point of its existence: before, during, or after device configu-
ration, assembly-source programming, or project debugging. Cloning copies the existing project but
allows you to change the base device. Use the cloning method to move an existing project from one
directory to another, rather than physically moving the files.
You must use the cloning method to change parts within a part family in the middle of a project
design. Refer to the Application Notes on the Cypress web site for assistance.
To clone an existing project:
1. From the File menu, select New Project. You can only clone a Chip-Level project. Select Chip-
Level .
2. Select a name and location for your new application and click OK.
3. In the Clone project box click browse and find the .SOC or .CMX file of the project you want to
clone.
4. Choose whether you want to choose a new base device or not. If you do, select View Catalog to
select a new device.
5. Choose C or assembler for the language of the main file. Click OK.
2.2.2 Updating Existing Projects
If you download a newer version of PSoC Designer, you may need to update existing projects cre-
ated with an earlier version of PSoC Designer. Most project updates are done automatically; how-
ever, some need to be done manually depending upon project specifics. Manual project updates are
described at the end of this chapter.
To update a PSoC project for compatibility:
1. Open PSoC Designer.
2. Access the project to update.
At this point, PSoC Designer checks to see if the project is compatible with the new version of
PSoC Designer.
3. If your project needs to be updated, the Old Version window appears with the appropriate mes-
sage text. Click
Update (or you can update later by selecting Update later...).
4. Once the update is complete, click
Finish. Your project is now compatible with the current version
of PSoC Designer.
2.3 Placing User Modules
Placing user modules is the first step (after creating a project) in configuring your target device. A
user module is a preconfigured function that, once placed and programmed, works as a peripheral
on the target device.
To place a user module:
1. Locate the desired user module in the the user module catalog. Each user module has a user
module data sheet that describes what it is and how to use it. If you do not see the user module
