Overview

PSoC™ 5LP Prototyping Kit With Onboard Programmer and Debugger

A low-cost platform for prototyping products with the ARM Cortex-M3-based PSoC™ 5LP, with a unique snap-away Programmer and Debugger on the USB connector.

Now supports KitProg - an Onboard Programmer and Debugger

Featuring PSoC™ 5LP

The CY8CKIT-059 PSoC™ 5LP Prototyping Kit features the CY8C5888LTI-LP097 device from the PSoC™ 5LP family. PSoC™ 5LP is the industry’s most integrated programmable SoC, combining high-precision and programmable analog and digital peripherals with an ARM Cortex-M3 CPU in a single chip. Process sensor signals with the 24-bit hardware DFB coprocessor, offload traditional CPU tasks to the CPLD-based Universal Digital Blocks and increase system performance with the peripheral-to-peripheral DMA controller. Integrate high-precision custom 20-bit Analog Front Ends with the Programmable Analog Blocks including opamps, PGAs, filters, comparators, SAR and Delta-Sigma ADCs and the industry's best CAPSENSE™ touch-sensing solution.

Design for Flexibility

The kit provides access to all the PSoC™ 5LP device I/Os in a breadboard-compatible format. It features a micro-USB header for creating prototypes with Full Speed USB 2.0 connectivity. The kit is also designed with a convenient snappable form-factor, allowing users to separate the USB connector with the KitProg Programmer and Debugger from the target board to use them independently. Once done with the prototype, you're still left with a handy SWD programmer!

Low-Cost Programmer

The kit includes Infineon's KitProg Programmer and Debugger. KitProg can program and debug the target PSoC™ 5LP device via SWD when using PSoC™ Creator or PSoC™ Programmer. It supports bridging over USB-UART and USB-I2C interfaces and also provides access to Micrium μC/Probe to read and write memory on the target device. When snapped away, this tiny USB board can be used as a KitProg programmer and debugger with any PSoC™ 3, PSoC™ 4 or PSoC™ 5LP device. The KitProg firmware is provided as a bootloader image that can be upgraded to develop custom applications for it.
