System Clock

The PSOC™ 62 uses the Internal Main Oscillator (IMO) as the default system clock source. The clock path is:

  • IMO (Internal Main Oscillator): 8 MHz

  • FLL: IMO → 100 MHz

  • PLL: IMO → 48 MHz

  • CLK_HF0: 100 MHz (system clock)

Serial Port

The PSOC™ 62 has multiple SCB (Serial Communication Block) interfaces that can be configured as UART, SPI, or I2C. The Zephyr console output is assigned to SCB5 (uart5), which is routed through the KitProg3 USB-UART bridge.

Default communication settings are 115200 8N1.

Prerequisites

Fetch Binary Blobs

The cy8ckit_062s2_ai board requires binary blobs (CM0+ prebuilt sleep image). Run the following command to fetch them:

west blobs fetch hal_infineon

Building

Here is an example for the Hello World application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b cy8ckit_062s2_ai samples/hello_world

Programming and Debugging

The cy8ckit_062s2_ai board supports the runners and associated west commands listed below.

flash debug rtt debugserver attach
openocd ✅ (default) ✅ (default) ✅ ✅ ✅
pyocd ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅

The CY8CKIT-062S2-AI includes an onboard programmer/debugger (KitProg3) which can be used to program and debug the PSOC™ 62 Cortex-M4 core.

Infineon OpenOCD Installation

The ModusToolbox™ Programming Tools package includes Infineon OpenOCD. Alternatively, a standalone installation can be done by downloading the Infineon OpenOCD release for your system and extracting the files to a location of your choice.

Note

Linux requires device access rights to be set up for KitProg3. This is handled automatically by the ModusToolbox™ Programming Tools installation. When doing a standalone OpenOCD installation, this can be done manually by executing the script openocd/udev_rules/install_rules.sh.

Configuring a Console

Connect a USB cable from your PC to the KitProg3 USB Micro-B connector (J1) on the CY8CKIT-062S2-AI.Use the serial terminal of your choice (minicom, PuTTY, etc.) with the following settings:

  • Speed: 115200

  • Data: 8 bits

  • Parity: None

  • Stop bits: 1

Flashing

One time, set the Infineon OpenOCD path:

west config build.cmake-args -- "-DOPENOCD=path/to/infineon/openocd/bin/openocd.exe"

Build and flash the application:

west build -b cy8ckit_062s2_ai -p always samples/hello_world
west flash

Alternatively, pyOCD can be used to flash the board using the --runner (or -r) option:

west flash --runner pyocd

You should see the following message on the console:

*** Booting Zephyr OS build vX.Y.Z ***
Hello World! cy8ckit_062s2_ai

Debugging

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b cy8ckit_062s2_ai samples/hello_world
west debug

Once the GDB console starts, you may set breakpoints and perform standard GDB debugging on the PSOC™ 62 Cortex-M4 core.
