Software Installation
This chapter describes the steps to install the software tools and packages on a computer for using
the BLE Pioneer Kit. This includes the IDE in which the projects will be built and used for program-
ming.
2.1
Before You Begin
All Cypress software installations require administrator privileges. Ensure you have the required
privileges on the system for successful installation. Before you install the kit software, close any
other Cypress software that is currently running.
2.2
Install Software
Follow these steps to install the BLE Pioneer Kit software:
1. Download the kit software from
www.cypress.com/CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A
. The software is
available in the following formats:
a. CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A Kit Complete Setup: This installation package contains the files related
to the BLE Pioneer Kit. However, it does not include the Windows Installer or Microsoft .NET
framework packages. If these packages are not on your computer, the installer directs you to
download and install them from the Internet.
b. CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A Kit Only Package: This executable file installs only the BLE Pioneer Kit
contents, which include code examples, hardware files, and user documents. This package
can be used if all the software prerequisites (listed in step 5) are installed on your computer.
c. CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A DVD ISO: This file is a complete package, stored in a DVD-ROM image
format, that you can use to create a DVD or extract using an ISO extraction program such as
WinZip or WinRAR. The file can also be mounted similar to a virtual CD/DVD using virtual
drive programs such as ‘Virtual CloneDrive’ and ‘MagicISO’. This file includes all the required
software, utilities, drivers, hardware files, and user documents.
2. If you have downloaded the ISO file, mount it on a virtual drive; if you do not have a virtual drive
to mount, extract the ISO contents using the appropriate ISO extractor (such as MagicISO or
PowerISO). Double-click
cyautorun.exe
in the root directory of the extracted content or mounted
ISO if “Autorun from CD/DVD” is not enabled on the computer. The installation window will
appear automatically.
Note:
If you are using the “Kit Complete Setup” or “Kit Only Package” file, then go to step 4 for
installation.
