Getting Started with PSoC Creator
If you want to move beyond the basics, you’ll need to install Cypress’s PSoC Creator IDE. It’s free, with no code
size limitations, although Cypress does ask that you register before downloading.
It is, sadly, Windows only.
We’ll go through a very simple project here, just a step more involved than a normal “blink” example.
Connecting the Board
For programming and debugging within PSoC Creator, you’ll need to connect the board via the “Debugger” USB
port. The driver should have been installed as a part of the Creator install process. If not, you can find them in the
Creator installation directory. If you find driver installation problematic under Windows 8, we have a tutorial to help
with that.
There’s no need to connect the “Target” port, unless you are actually creating a project that uses USB, which is
beyond the scope of this tutorial.
Creating a Project
This is what you’ll see when you launch Creator. To start a new project, you can either click the “Create New
Project…” link on the Start Page, the “New” button in the menu bar, or open the “File” menu and choose
“Project…” in the “New” submenu.
