We’ll take a hardware tour, one element at a time, starting with the debugging and connection elements on the left.

1. 5.5mm x 2.1mm center positive barrel jack – This fits all of SparkFun’s standard “wall wart” type power

supplies. While the regulators on the FreeSoC2 can handle input voltages 

up to 12V

, it’s best to keep the

input voltage 

as close to 5V as possible

.

2. “Target” USB Port – Provides USB connectivity to the target processor (the CY8C5888). When uploading

code via the Arduino IDE, you’ll connect to this port.

3. “Debugger” USB Port – Connects to the debugger IC. Connecting to this port also creates a USB serial port

that can be used to get and send data from and to a UART on the target processor.

4. 2.5mm JST PH series connector footprint – Our through hole 2-pin JST PH connector fits here, allowing you

to power the board with any of our standard lithium ion polymer batteries.

5. Debugger reset button – Resets the debugger. You will probably never need to use this.
6. Debugger user button – Can be used to provide input to the debugger IC; currently unused.
7. IO voltage selection switches – These switches allow you to select the voltage of the I/O signals, either 3.3V

or 5V, on the target processor. The PSoC5LP has four I/O voltage quadrants; the bottom switch allows you
to select the voltage of the quadrant providing the Arduino header signals, and the top switch controls all the
others.

8. Debugger IC JTAG/SWD header – This 2x5 0.050" pitch header can be used to program and debug the

debugger itself. It’s intended to support a connection to the MiniProg3 programmer/debugger from Cypress.
You’ll probably never need to use it.

9. Target IC JTAG/SWD header – Similar in nature to the header for the debugger; the signals on these pins

also come from the debugger IC.

10. Debugger IC – The debug IC is also a PSoC5LP- in this case, CY8C5868LTI-LP039. The firmware it comes

preloaded with (referred to as “KitProg”) is freely available for download and modification; the part is
bootloadable to replace the firmware or update it as new firmware becomes available.

11. Debugger IC IO header – There are a number of signals available on this header; they are not used by

default but you may implement additional debugging features on the debugger IC that do use them.

12. Debugger IC user LED – Will be lit if the debugger can’t detect a host, and will flash during data transfer

(i.e., programming or debugging).

13. I C isolation jumpers – These normally open solder jumpers allow you to connect the I C lines on the target

board with the debugger. Using Cypress’s KitProg debugging software, you can snoop the I C data traffic
