CY8CPROTO-041TP

Overview

The PSOC™ 4100T Plus CAPSENSE™ Prototyping Kit (CY8CPROTO-041TP) enables you to evaluate and develop applications using the PSOC™ 4100T Plus microcontroller, part of Infineon’s PSOC™ 4 family. The device integrates an Arm Cortex-M0 CPU running up to 48 MHz, combining programmable analog and digital subsystems to support flexible mixed-signal designs. It features up to 128 KB Flash and 16 KB SRAM, and includes a wide range of configurable peripherals such as SAR ADC, CAPSENSE™ capacitive touch sensing, and TCPWM for timer/counter/PWM functionality.

  • 32-bit MCU subsystem

    • 48-MHz Arm® Cortex®-M0+ CPU with single-cycle multiply

    • Up to 128 KB of flash with read accelerator

    • Up to 32 KB of SRAM

    • Direct memory access (DMA)

    • Low-power 1.71 V to 5.5 V operation

    • Deep sleep mode with 6 μA always-on touch sensing

    • Active touch detection and tracking with 200 μA (average)

    • Real Time clock-SW is available

    • Power supply: 3.3 V or 5 V operation

Programming and Debugging

The cy8cproto_041tp board supports the runners and associated west commands listed below.

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

Building

Here is an example for building the Hello World sample application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b cy8cproto_041tp samples/hello_world

Flashing

The CY8CPROTO-041TP includes an onboard programmer/debugger (KitProg3 [8]) 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 [5] and the ModusToolbox Programming Tools [6] 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 [7] 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 cy8cproto_041tp -p always samples/hello_world

west flash
west debug

Once the gdb console starts after executing the west debug command, you may now set breakpoints and perform other standard GDB debugging.
