Prerequisites
PSoC Designer uses the Microsoft .NET Framework, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and a Windows
Installer. If .NET Framework and Windows Installer are not on your computer, the installation auto-
matically installs it for you. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you have to manually down-
load from Adobe website and install it.
Installing PSoC 1 Development Software
To use the CY8C28 Family Processor Module (PSoC 1) you need:
■
■
If PSoC Designer 5.0 is currently installed, uninstall it. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then
double click Add or Remove Programs.
PSoC Designer 5.0 SP6 is not presently compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 beta (any beta
version). If you have Internet Explorer 8 beta, uninstall it and replace it with the released version of
Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.
Insert the CY8C28 Family Processor Module Software CD and, using the menu, select Install Soft-
ware for PSoC 1.
After installation, guides and key documents are located in the \Documentation subdirectory of
the PSoC Designer installation directory. The default location is:
C:\Program Files\Cypress\PSoC Designer 5\Documentation
PSoC Development Board
Sold seperately, the CY8CKIT-001 PSoC Development Board is designed to aid hardware, firmware,
and software developers in building their own systems around Cypress’s PSoC devices. The
flexibility to configure the power domains is one of the foremost features of this board. Input power to
the board is from one of two sources:
■
■
This full featured board incorporates three onboard linear regulators that power peripherals and
PSoC modules at voltages between 1.7V and 5.5V. These regulators include a fixed 5V 1A linear
regulator, a fixed 3.3V 300 mA linear regulator, and a 1.5V to 5.5V 300 mA adjustable regulator. The
board also provides the ability to separate the PSoC core VCC rail into two separate rails, analog
and digital. In addition, the board is able to separate the I/O VCC rails, giving the flexibility to power
the I/O ports at different voltages.
The board is equipped with a 2x16 alphanumeric LCD module capable of 1.8V to 5.5V I/O. In addi-
tion, there is a mini-B full speed USB interface and a female DB9 serial communications interface.
Also included is a x-pin wireless radio module interface which can be used to develop CyFi™ Low-
Power RF or other embedded RF solutions with this kit. The board also has a prototyping area con-
taining a small breadboard complete with I/O port sockets nearby, multipurpose LEDs, mechanical
push buttons, and a multipurpose variable resistor. In addition, three capacitive sensing elements
(two buttons and a five segment slider) are included on the board to allow the evaluation of
CapSense™ applications.
The board has four GPIO expansion slots, allowing the I/O to expand to external boards.
