The
CCGx Software Development Kit
(SDK) is a PSoC Creator project that allows you to harness the capabilities of
Cypress‘s CCG families of Type-C Controllers. It provides a firmware stack compliant with Type-C and USB-PD
specification along with the necessary drivers and software interfaces required to implement applications using CCG
controllers. The CCGx SDK also includes reference projects implementing standard Type-C applications and
documentation that guides users in customizing existing applications, or creating new ones. CCG3PA application
development requires an additional add-on download from the CCG3PA website. For more information on the CCGx
SDK, refer to the
CCGx SDK User Guide
.
In addition to the CCGx SDK, a separate add-on is required to enable firmware modifications for CCG3PA devices. In
general, the CCGx SDK consists of the following basic components:
Source Code
USB PD-compliant stack in a pre-compiled library form, supporting all standard power profiles and PPS
Firmware sources for other blocks
Reference application
Control of integrated UFP (R
D
), and DFP (R
P
) termination resistors
Firmware Binaries
