CySmart Mobile App
In addition to the PC application, you can download the CySmart mobile app for
iOS
or
Android
from the respective app
stores. The apps use the iOS Core Bluetooth framework and Android built-in platform framework for BLE to configure your
BLE-enabled mobile as a BLE central device that can scan and connect to BLE peripheral devices.

The mobile app supports Bluetooth SIG-adopted BLE standard profiles through an intuitive GUI and abstracts the underlying
BLE and characteristic details.
Development Kits and Evaluation Boards
Cypress provides an easy-to-use development kit to help you prototype your EZ-BLE PRoC Module design.
CY8CKIT-042 BLE Pioneer Kit
The
CY8CKIT-042 BLE Pioneer Kit
shown in
Figure
14
is an Arduino Uno-compliant BLE development kit for the PRoC BLE
family of devices, including the CYBLE-022001-00 module. The CY8CKIT-042 BLE kit consists of pluggable BLE modules that
connect to a baseboard. The Pioneer Kit is powered through the USB interface or with a coin cell battery.
The Pioneer baseboard and RF module combination enables you to develop battery-operated low-power BLE designs that
work in conjunction with standard Arduino shields and additional PSoC 4 BLE device capabilities such as the CapSense user
interface on the Pioneer baseboard.
The kit also contains a BLE USB dongle that acts as a BLE master and works with the CySmart application to provide a BLE
master emulation platform on non BLEWindows systems.
Cypress also provides an adapter board for the EZ-BLE PRoC Module to evaluate and develop with the Cypress module
without the need to develop custom hardware.
