CY8CPROTO-063-BLE

Overview

The CY8CPROTO-063-BLE is a PSOC™ 6 BLE Prototyping Kit featuring the CYBLE-416045-02 EZ-BLE module with a PSOC™ 63 dual-core microcontroller (Arm® Cortex®-M4 + Cortex®-M0+) and integrated BLE 5.0 with an on-module trace antenna. It is designed for low-power Bluetooth applications.

Key highlights include up to 36 GPIOs, CAPSENSE™ touch-sensing, PDM-PCM digital microphone interface, Quad-SPI, ADC, and comparators.

The kit features a snap-away form-factor allowing the user to separate components for independent use.

The board includes an onboard KitProg3 programmer/debugger with USB Micro-B connectivity.

System Clock

The PSOC™ 63 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™ 63 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 cy8cproto_063_ble board requires binary blobs (Bluetooth controller firmware, CM0+ prebuilt images). 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 cy8cproto_063_ble samples/hello_world

Programming and Debugging

The cy8cproto_063_ble board supports the runners and associated west commands listed below.

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

The CY8CPROTO-063-BLE includes an onboard programmer/debugger (KitProg3) which can be used to program and debug the PSOC™ 63 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 (J8) on the CY8CPROTO-063-BLE.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 cy8cproto_063_ble -p always samples/hello_world
west flash
