6.1 Using PSoC 5LP as USB-UART Bridge
The PSoC 5LP serves as a USB-UART bridge, which can communicate with the COM terminal
software. This section explains how to create a PSoC 4 BLE code example to communicate with the
COM terminal software.
Users who have a Windows operating system that does not have HyperTerminal can use an
alternative terminal software such as PuTTY.
1. Create a new PSoC 4 BLE project in PSoC Creator, as shown in Figure 6-1. Select an
appropriate location for your project and rename the project as required.
