kit_pse84_eval
Overview
The PSOC™ Edge E84 Evaluation Kit enables applications to use the PSOC™ Edge E84 Series Microcontroller (MCU) together with multiple on-board multimedia, Machine Learning (ML), and connectivity features including custom MIPI-DSI displays, audio interfaces, and AIROC™ Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® combo-based connectivity modules.
The PSOC™ Edge E84 MCUs are based on high-performance Arm® Cortex®-M55 including Helium DSP support, an Ethos™-U55 NPU, and a low-power Arm® Cortex®-M33 paired with Infineon’s ultra-low power NNLite hardware accelerator. They integrate 2.5D graphics accelerators and display interfaces, while featuring always-on acoustic activity and wake-word detection, efficient HMI operations, and extended battery life.
The evaluation kit carries a PSOC™ Edge E84 MCU on a SODIMM-based detachable SOM board connected to the baseboard. The MCU SOM also has 128 MB of QSP| Flash, 1GB of Octal Flash, 128MB of Octal RAM, PSOC™ 4000T as CAPSENSE™ co-processor, and onboard AIROC™ Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® combo.

Connections and IOs
Please refer to kit_pse84_eval User Manual Website for more details.
Programming and Debugging
The kit_pse84_eval board supports the runners and associated west commands listed below.
| flash | debug | debugserver | rtt | attach | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| openocd | ✅ (default) | ✅ (default) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
The KIT-PSE84-EVAL includes an onboard programmer/debugger (KitProg3) 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.
Please refer to the ModusToolbox™ software installation guide to install the Infineon OpenOCD and Edge Protect Security Suite (edgeprotecttools).
Flashing
Applications for the kit_pse84_eval/pse846gps2dbzc4a/m33 board target can be
built, flashed, and debugged in the usual way. See
Building an Application and Run an Application for more details on
building and running.
Applications for the kit_pse84_eval/pse846gps2dbzc4a/m55
board target need to be built using sysbuild to include the required application for the other core.
Enter the following command to compile hello_world for the FLPR core:
west build -p -b kit_pse84_eval/pse846gps2dbzc4a/m55 --sysbuild
Debugging
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 kit_pse84_eval/pse846gps2dbzc4a/m33 -p always samples/basic/blinky west flash west debug# Run west config once to set permanent CMake argument west config build.cmake-args -- -DOPENOCD=path/to/infineon/openocd/bin/openocd # Do a pristine build once after setting CMake argument west build -b kit_pse84_eval/pse846gps2dbzc4a/m33 -p always samples/basic/blinky 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 on the PSOC E84 CM33 core.
