Introduction
1.2.3.1
PSoC Creator
allows concurrent hardware and application firmware design of PSoC 3, PSoC 4, and
PSoC 5LP systems. PSoC systems are designed using classic, familiar, schematic-capture
technology supported by pre-verified, production ready PSoC Components™.
PSoC Components are analog and digital virtual chips represented by icons that you can drag and
drop into a design and configure to suit a broad array of application requirements. You can configure
each Component in the rich, mixed-signal Cypress Component Catalog with the Component
Customizer tool. These Components include a full set of dynamically generated API libraries. After
you have configured the PSoC system, you can write, compile, and debug the firmware within PSoC
Creator, or export the firmware to other IDEs such as those from IAR, Keil, and Eclipse.
You can download the latest version of the PSoC Creator software from
. Refer to the Release Notes for the minimum and recommended system requirements.
1.2.3.2
PSoC Programmer
The PSoC Programmer software is used to program the PSoC 4 devices on the CY8CKIT-042 kit
and CY8CKIT-044 kit with hex files. PSoC Programmer is installed along with PSoC Creator. You
can also download PSoC Programmer separately at

reference manuals, and application notes.
Code Example
describes the implementation of CAN bus communication between two
PSoC 4 devices. It explains how to send and receive CAN messages. It has two example projects
which describe how to transmit/receive CAN messages using the CAN and LIN Shield Kit and
CY8CKIT-044 PSoC 4 M-Series Pioneer Kit.
Code Example
describes the implementation of LIN bus communication using PSoC. It
explains how to send and receive LIN messages. It has two example projects which describe how to
transmit/receive LIN messages using the CAN and LIN Shield Kit and CY8CKIT-042/CY8CKIT-044
PSoC 4 Pioneer Kits.
Code Example
describes the implementation of CAN bus communication between
FM4-S6E2Gx Series and PSoC 4 M-Series. FM4 acts as Transmitter and PSoC 4 M acts as a
receiver which changes the RGB LED color based on the commands received from the FM4.
