PSOC 6 AI Evaluation Kit

Overview

The PSOC 6 AI Evaluation Kit (CY8CKIT-062S2-AI) is a cost effective and small development kit that enables design and debug of PSOC 6 MCUs. It includes a CY8C624ABZI-S2D44 MCU which is based on a 150-MHz Arm® Cortex®-M4 and a 100-MHz Arm® Cortex®-M0+, with 2048 KB of on-chip Flash, 1024 KB of SRAM, a Quad-SPI external memory interface, built-in hardware and software security features, rich analog, digital, and communication peripherals.

The board features an AIROC® CYW43439 Wi-Fi & Bluetooth® combo device, a 512 MB NOR flash, an onboard programmer/debugger (KitProg3), USB host and device features, two user LEDs, and one push button.

The default configuration can be found in the defconfig and dts files:

System Clock

The PCY8C624ABZI-S2D44 MCU SoC is configured to use the internal IMO+FLL as a source for the system clock. CM0+ works at 50MHz, CM4 - at 100MHz. Other sources for the system clock are provided in the SoC, depending on your system requirements.

Fetch Binary Blobs

The CY8CKIT-062S2-AI board requires fetch binary files (e.g CM0+ prebuilt images).

To fetch Binary Blobs:

west blobs fetch hal_infineon

Build blinking led sample

Here is an example for building the Blinky sample application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b cy8ckit_062s2_ai/cy8c624abzi_s2d44 samples/basic/blinky

Programming and Debugging

The CY8CKIT-062S2-AI board includes an onboard programmer/debugger (KitProg3 [9]) to provide debugging, flash programming, and serial communication over USB. Flash and debug commands use OpenOCD and require a custom Infineon OpenOCD version, that supports KitProg3, to be installed.

Infineon OpenOCD Installation

Both the full ModusToolbox [6] and the ModusToolbox Programming Tools [7] packages include Infineon OpenOCD. Installing either of these packages will also install Infineon OpenOCD. If neither package is installed, a minimal installation can be done by downloading the Infineon OpenOCD [8] release for your system and manually extract 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 and ModusToolbox Programming Tools installations. When doing a minimal installation, this can be done manually by executing the script openocd/udev_rules/install_rules.sh.

West Commands

The path to the installed Infineon OpenOCD executable must be available to the west tool commands. There are multiple ways of doing this. The example below uses a permanent CMake argument to set the CMake variable OPENOCD.

# Run west config once to set permanent CMake argument
west config build.cmake-args -- -DOPENOCD=path/to/infineon/openocd/bin/openocd.exe

# Do a pristine build once after setting CMake argument
west build -b cy8ckit_062s2_ai/cy8c624abzi_s2d44 -p always samples/basic/blinky

west flash
west debug

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

$ west flash --runner pyocd
