6.3 Developing Applications for PSoC 5LP
The BLE Pioneer kit has an onboard PSoC 5LP whose primary function is that of a programmer and
a bridge. You can build either a normal project or a bootloadable project using the PSoC 5LP.
The PSoC 5LP connections in the Pioneer board are summarized in Figure 6-26. J8 is the I/O
connector. The USB (J13) is connected and used as the PC interface. However, you can still use this
USB connection to create customized USB designs.

The programming header (J7) is meant for standalone programming. This header needs to be
populated. See the 'No Load Components' section in Bill of Materials (BOM) on page 184.
6.3.1 Building a Bootloadable Project for PSoC 5LP
All bootloadable applications developed for the PSoC 5LP should be based on the bootloader hex
file, which is programmed onto the kit.
The hex files are included in the following kit installer directory:
