C bootloader uses 5kB of memory. The
configuration table holds the PD configuration for the CCG3 application, and is located at the beginning of each
firmware binary. The size of each configuration table is 1kB. A lot of configurations can be updated by modifying this
table using the

section. The CCG firmware areas FW1 and FW2 are used for the CCG3 firmware application. The metadata area
holds the metadata about both firmware binaries. The firmware metadata follows the definition provided by the PSoC
Creator bootloader component, and includes the firmware checksum, firmware size, and the start address.

C C G x S D K
(SDK) is a PSoC Creator project that allows users to harness the capabilities of
Cypress’s CCG families of Type-C Controllers. It provides a Type-C and USB-PD specification compliant firmware
stack 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. For more information on
the CCGx SDK, refer to the
