All development kits can be purchased from the Cypress Online
Store.
5.1.1
PSoC Designer™
At the core of the PSoC development software suite is PSoC
Designer. Utilized by thousands of PSoC developers, this
robust software has been facilitating PSoC designs for half a
decade. PSoC Designer is available free of charge at http://
www.cypress.com under DESIGN RESOURCES >> Software
and Drivers.
5.2.1
CY3215-DK Basic Development Kit
The CY3215-DK is for prototyping and development with PSoC
Designer. This kit supports in-circuit emulation and the software
interface allows users to run, halt, and single step the processor
and view the content of specific memory locations. Advance
emulation features also supported through PSoC Designer. The
kit includes:
5.1.2
PSoC Express™
■ PSoC Designer Software CD
As the newest addition to the PSoC development software
suite, PSoC Express is the first visual embedded system design
tool that allows a user to create an entire PSoC project and
generate a schematic, BOM, and data sheet without writing a
single line of code. Users work directly with application objects
such as LEDs, switches, sensors, and fans. PSoC Express is
available free of charge at http://www.cypress.com/psocex-
press.
