8 CY8CKIT-049-4xxx PSoC® 4 Prototyping Kit Guide, Doc. #: 001-90711 Rev. *G
Introduction
1.2 Getting Started
This user guide helps you to get acquainted with the PSoC 4 Prototyping Kit. The Software
Installation chapter on page 13 describes the installation of the PSoC Creator software. The Kit
Operation chapter on page 17 explains how to program the kit using a bootloader or a MiniProg3.
The Hardware chapter on page 27 details the hardware operation of the kit. The Code
Examples chapter on page 37 and USB-Serial Configuration chapter on page 55 walk you through
making projects and configuring the USB-Serial device on the kit. The Appendix on page 65
provides the schematics, pin assignment, and bill of materials (BOM).
1.3 Additional Learning Resources
Cypress provides a wealth of data at www.cypress.com to help you to select the right PSoC device
for your design, and to help you to quickly and effectively integrate the device into your design. For a
comprehensive list of resources, see KBA86521, How to Design with PSoC 3, PSoC 4, and
PSoC 5LP. The following is an abbreviated list for PSoC 4:
■ Overview: PSoC Portfolio, PSoC Roadmap
■ Product Selectors: PSoC 1, PSoC 3, PSoC 4, or PSoC 5LP. In addition, PSoC Creator includes
a device selection tool.
■ Datasheets: Describe and provide electrical specifications for the PSoC 4000, PSoC 4100, and
PSoC 4200 device families.
■ CapSense Design Guide: Learn how to design capacitive touch-sensing applications with the
PSoC 4 family of devices.
■ Application Notes and Code Examples: Cover a broad range of topics, from basic to advanced
level. Many of the application notes include code examples. Visit the PSoC 3/4/5 Code Examples
webpage for a list of all available PSoC Creator code examples. For accessing code examples
from within PSoC Creator – see PSoC Creator Code Examples on page 10. These code
examples available across PSoC Creator, Application notes and kits for the most part will NOT be
bootloadable. However, with a very small modification you can port them to a bootloadable
project and use them with the CY8CKIT-049. Refer to Converting a Non-bootloadable Project to
a Bootloadable Project on page 42 for details.
■ Technical Reference Manuals (TRM): Provide detailed descriptions of the architecture and
registers in each PSoC 4 device family.
■ Development Kits:
❐ CY8CKIT-042 and CY8CKIT-040, PSoC 4 Pioneer Kits, are easy-to-use and inexpensive
development platforms. These kits include connectors for Arduino™ compatible shields and
Digilent
®
Pmod™ daughter cards.
❐ CY8CKIT-049 is a very low-cost prototyping platform for sampling PSoC 4 devices.
❐ CY8CKIT-001 is a common development platform for all PSoC family devices.
■ The MiniProg3 device provides an interface for flash programming and debug.
■ Knowledge Base Articles (KBA): Provide design and application tips from experts on the
devices/kits. For instance, KBA93541, explains how to use CY8CKIT-049 to program another
PSoC 4.
