1. Introduction
Thank you for your interest in the FM0+ S6E1C-Series Starter Kit. This kit enables customers to
evaluate and develop projects using the FM0+ device family. FM0+ is a portfolio of ultra-low
power ARM® Cortex®-M0+ MCUs. It is designed for low-power and cost-sensitive applications
such as white goods, sensors, meters, HMI systems, power tools and internet of things (IoT)
battery powered or energy harvesting wearable devices. There are several device series in this
portfolio: the S6E1A-Series, the S6E1B-Series and the S6E1C-Series. This kit uses a device
from the S6E1C-Series.
The S6E1C-Series microcontroller is based on the ARM® Cortex®-M0+ processor with on-chip
flash memory. This series has peripherals such as High Definition Multimedia
Interface-Consumer Electronics Control (HDMI-CEC), A/D converters, Descriptor System Data
Transfer Controller (DTSC) and communication interfaces like USB, UART, CSIO (SPI), I2C and
LIN. The FM0+S6E1C-Series Starter Kit offers footprint compatibility with Arduino™ shields,
which provides options for application development.

2. Installation and Test Operation
This chapter describes the steps to install the software tools and drivers on a PC for using the
FM0+ S6E1C-Series Starter Kit. After a successful installation, user can run the test code which
is pre-programmed in the device.
2.1 Install Software
Follow the steps below to install the FM0+ S6E1C-Series Starter Kit software:
1. Download the FM0+ S6E1C-Series Starter Kit installer from the webpage:
www.cypress.com/FM0-64L-S6E1C3.The Kit software is available for download in three
formats.
FM0+ S6E1C-Series Starter Kit Complete Setup: This installation package contains
the files related to the kit, including the Documentation, Hardware, Firmware, Software
tools and drivers. However, it does not include the Windows Installer or Microsoft .NET
framework packages. If these packages are not on your computer, the installer directs
you to download and install them from the Internet.
FM0+ S6E1C-Series Starter Kit Only Package: This executable file installs only the kit
contents, which include kit code examples, hardware files, and user documents. This
package can be used if all the software prerequisites (listed in step 5) are installed on
your PC.
FM0+ S6E1C-Series Starter Kit DVD ISO: This file is a complete package, stored in a
DVD-ROM image format, which you can use to create a DVD or extract using an ISO
extraction program such as WinZip® or WinRAR. The file can also be mounted like a
virtual CD/DVD using virtual drive programs such as Virtual CloneDrive and MagicISO.
This file includes all the required software, utilities, drivers, hardware files, and user
documents.
2. If you have downloaded the ISO file, mount it in a virtual drive. Extract the ISO contents if
you do not have a virtual drive to mount. Double-click cyautorun.exe in the root directory of
the extracted content or the mounted ISO if “Autorun from CD/DVD” is not enabled on the
PC. The installation window will appear automatically.
Note: If you are using the “Kit Complete Setup” and “Kit Only Package”, then go to step 4
for installation.
