Development Tools
PSoC Designer is a Microsoft
®
Windows-based, integrated
development environment for the Programmable
System-on-Chip (PSoC) devices. The PSoC Designer IDE and
application runs on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows
Millennium (Me), or Windows XP (refer section
PSoC Designer
Subsystems
on page 5).
PSoC Designer helps the customer to select an operating
configuration for the PSoC, write application code that uses the
PSoC, and debug the application. This system provides design
database management by project, an integrated debugger with
In-Circuit Emulator, in-system programming support, and the
CYASM macro assembler for the CPUs.
PSoC Designer also supports a high-level C language compiler
developed specifically for the devices in the family.

PSoC Designer Software Subsystems
Device Editor
The Device Editor subsystem allows the user to select different
onboard analog and digital components called user modules
using the PSoC blocks. Examples of user modules are ADCs,
DACs, Amplifiers, and Filters.
The device editor also supports easy development of multiple
configurations and dynamic reconfiguration. Dynamic
configuration allows for changing configurations at run time.
PSoC Designer sets up power on initialization tables for selected
PSoC block configurations and creates source code for an
application framework. The framework contains software to
operate the selected components and, if the project uses more
than one operating configuration, contains routines to switch
between different sets of PSoC block configurations at run time.
PSoC Designer can print out a configuration sheet for a given
project configuration for use during application programming in
conjunction with the Device Data Sheet. Once the framework is
generated, the user can add application-specific code to flesh
out the framework. It is also possible to change the selected
components and regenerate the framework.
Design Browser
The Design Browser allows users to select and import
preconfigured designs into the user’s project. Users can easily
browse a catalog of preconfigured designs to facilitate
time-to-design. Examples provided in the tools include a
300-baud modem, LIN Bus master and slave, fan controller, and
magnetic card reader.
Application Editor
In the Application Editor you can edit your C language and
Assembly language source code. You can also assemble,
compile, link, and build.
Assembler.
The macro assembler allows the assembly code to
be merged seamlessly with C code. The link libraries
automatically use absolute addressing or can be compiled in
relative mode, and linked with other software modules to get
absolute addressing.
C Language Compiler.
A C language compiler is available that
supports the PSoC family of devices. Even if you have never
worked in the C language before, the product quickly allows you
to create complete C programs for the PSoC family devices.
The embedded, optimizing C compiler provides all the features
of C tailored to the PSoC architecture. It comes complete with
embedded libraries providing port and bus operations, standard
keypad and display support, and extended math functionality.
