3. Kit Operation
The PSoC 4 Prototyping Kit is simplistic in design and focuses on providing you with complete
access to develop applications using the PSoC 4 device family. The development kit supports a
number of onboard functions such as an LED, push button, through-hole connections, USB-Serial
connectivity to the PC, and a breakable board design to separate the two target boards.

3.1 Connecting the PSoC 4 Prototyping Kit to a Computer
To use the PSoC 4 Prototyping Kit, you need to connect the kit to a target PC. The kit is designed to
be connected to the computer through USB. The USB connector will provide power to the target
boards and enable serial communication. CY8CKIT-049-4xxx implements a PCB-based USB
connector that makes connections to the USB port when plugged in. The amber LED turns on when
the board is plugged into the port to indicate power.
