Introduction
1.4 PSoC Development Board
The CY8CKIT-001 PSoC Development Board is designed to aid hardware, firmware, and software
developers in building their own systems around Cypress 8-bit and 32-bit PSoC devices. The
flexibility to configure the power domains is one of the foremost features of this board. Input power to
the board is from one of two sources:
■12V 1A wall wart power supply
■9V alkaline battery (not included)
This full featured board incorporates three onboard linear regulators that power peripherals and
PSoC modules at voltages between 1.72V and 5.5V. These regulators include a fixed 5V 1A linear
regulator, a fixed 3.3V 300 mA linear regulator, and a 1.5V to 5.5V 300 mA adjustable regulator. The
board also provides the ability to separate the PSoC core VCC rail into two separate rails, analog
and digital. In addition, the board is able to separate the I/O VCC rails, giving the flexibility to power
the I/O ports at different voltages.
The board is equipped with a 2x16 alphanumeric LCD module capable of 1.8V to 5.5V I/O. In addi-
tion, there is a mini-B full speed USB interface and a female DB9 serial communications interface.
Also included is a x-pin wireless radio module interface which can be used to develop CyFi™ Low-
Power RF or other embedded RF solutions with this kit. The board also has a prototyping area con-
taining a small bread board complete with I/O port sockets nearby, multipurpose LEDs, mechanical
push buttons, and a multipurpose variable resistor. In addition, three capacitive sensing elements
(two buttons and a five segment slider) are included on the board to allow evaluation of CapSense™
applications.
The board has four GPIO expansion slots, allowing the I/O to expand to external boards.
The board was designed with modularity in mind and, as a result, supports removable processor
modules. This allows you to plug different PSoC modules into the board based upon the desired fea-
tures of both 8-bit and 32-bit PSoC devices.
1.4.1 Default Switch and Jumper Settings
Jumpers on the CY8CKIT-001 PSoC Development Main Board have a default setting for 3.3V oper-
ation. For Default configuration, each of the jumpers must be set according to these instructions.
Note: All CY8C29x66 family processor module example projects are configured for 5V. Do configure
the board to 5V, before creating the example projects.

2. Loading My First PSoC Project
The CY8CKIT-001 PSoC Development Kit supports projects across the PSoC, PSoC3, and PSoC5
architectures. This section walks you through the high level design process for opening, building,
programming, and running your first PSoC projects using this kit.
Before beginning, follow each of these steps to make certain that your software and hardware
environments are properly configured and ready for these projects:
1. Install PSoC Designer using the steps listed in Installing PSoC Development Software on page 4.
2. Install PSoC Creator using the steps listed in Installing PSoC3 Development Software on page 4.
3. Close any open PSoC Creator or PSoC Designer applications and projects.
4. Configure the PSoC Development Board (jumper settings and switches) in its default configura-
tion, as described in Default Switch and Jumper Settings on page 6.
5. Use the PSoC CY8C29 Family Processor Module for the PSoC version of your first PSoC project
(My First PSoC Project on page 10).
6. Use the PSoC CY8C38 Family Processor Module for the PSoC3 version of your first PSoC
project (My First PSoC3 Project on page 12).
7. Configure the PSoC Development Board prototyping board and I/O:
■CY8C29 Family Processor Module
❐Connect P0[7] to LED1
❐Connect P1[7] to LED2
■CY8C38 Family Processor Module
❐Connect P1[6] to LED1
❐Connect P1[7] to LED2
8. Connect the MiniProg3 into your PC using the supplied USB cable. When you connect the
MiniProg3, Microsoft Windows®may indicate that it has found new hardware. All required drivers
were installed as part of the PSoC Programmer installation process; however, if Windows opens
the driver installation dialog boxes, accept the defaults and allow Windows to automatically find
the appropriate driver.
9. For a PSoC project, use the ISSP header on the PSoC CY8C29 Family Processor Module and
connect the MiniProg3 ISSP port.
10.For a PSoC3 project, use the JTAG ribbon cable. Connect the ribbon cable to the MiniProg3 and
the PSoC CY8C38 Family Processor Module into the header labeled PROG on the processor
module.
Note The MiniProg3 should not be “hot plugged” into processor modules that are attached to the
PSoC Development Board. In other words, do not plug the ribbon cable of the MiniProg3 into the
processor module while code is actively running on the module. Doing so may cause the PSoC
device to unintentionally reset. Power down the PSoC Development Board and module by
unplugging the power supply from the Development Board before attaching the MiniProg3 device
to the module board. Once the ribbon cable is attached to the module board, power can then be
