1.2.3 Software Requirements
kit does not have any programmable/configurable device onboard, so it does not need any software for
configuration. However, the PSoC device present on baseboards, such as
, requires
firmware, which you can develop with the
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.
