CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) Pioneer Kit Guide, Doc. # 002-11468 Rev. *A 6Safety InformationThe CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) Pioneer Kit is intended for developmentpurposes only. Users are advised to test and evaluate this kit in an RF development environment.This kit is not a finished product and when assembled may not be resold or otherwise marketedunless all required authorizations are first obtained. Contact support@cypress.com for details.General Safety InstructionsESD ProtectionESD can damage boards and associated components. Cypress recommends that the user performprocedures only at an ESD workstation. If an ESD workstation is not available, use appropriate ESDprotection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to the chassis ground (any unpainted metalsurface) on the board when handling parts.Handling BoardsCY8CKIT-042-BLE-A boards are sensitive to ESD. Hold the board only by its edges. After removingthe board from its box, place it on a grounded, static-free surface. Use a conductive foam pad ifavailable. Do not slide the board over any surface.CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A boards contain ESD-sensitive devices.Electrostatic charges readily accumulate on the human body and anyequipment, and can discharge without detection. Permanent damagemay occur on devices subjected to high-energy discharges. ProperESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradationor loss of functionality. Store unused CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A boards inthe protective shipping package.End-of-Life/Product RecyclingThe end-of-life cycle for this kit is five years from the date ofmanufacture mentioned on the back of the box. Contact your nearestrecycler to discard the kit.
CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) Pioneer Kit Guide, Doc. # 002-11468 Rev. *A 7Battery Care and UseUse the correct size and type of battery specified in this guide. Keep battery contact surfaces and battery compartment contacts clean by rubbing them with a clean pencil eraser or a rough cloth each time you replace batteries. Remove the battery from a device when it is not expected to be in use for several months. Make sure that you insert the battery into your device properly, with the + (plus) and – (minus) terminals aligned correctly. Do not place the battery next to metallic objects such as keys and coins.Never throw the battery into fire.Do not open up the battery.Do not short the battery.Do not subject the battery to high temperatures or high humidity.Store the battery in a dry place.Do not recharge a battery unless it is marked “rechargeable.”Battery DisposalBatteries can be safely disposed with normal household waste. Never dispose batteries in firebecause they can explode. It is important not to dispose large amounts of batteries in a group. Usedbatteries are often not completely “dead.” Grouping used batteries together can bring these “live”batteries into contact with one another, creating safety risks.

CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) Pioneer Kit Guide, Doc. # 002-11468 Rev. *A 101. IntroductionThank you for your interest in the CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) Pioneer Kit.The BLE Pioneer Kit enables customers to evaluate and develop BLE projects using the PSoC® 4BLE and PRoC™ BLE (Programmable Radio-on-Chip) devices. Bluetooth SMART™ or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a full-featured, layered, communicationprotocol that includes a 2.4-GHz radio, a link layer, and an application layer. However, you do notneed to understand the complex protocol to implement your projects using PSoC 4 BLE or PRoCBLE. The Cypress BLE solution, which includes the device, the BLE Component, and the BLEfirmware stack will take care of it for you. The Cypress BLE firmware stack is royalty free.You will use two software tools, PSoC Creator™ and CySmart™ Central Emulation Tool, to developand debug your BLE project. PSoC Creator is Cypress’ standard integrated design environment(IDE). The BLE protocol has been abstracted into an easy drag-and-drop BLE Component in PSoCCreator. The CySmart Central Emulation Tool is a host tool for Windows PCs, which provides aneasy-to-use GUI to enable customers to test and debug their BLE projects. The BLE Pioneer Kit offers footprint-compatibility with Arduino™ shields as well as 6-pin Digilent®Pmod™ daughter cards. In addition, the kit features a CapSense® slider, an RGB LED, a push-button switch, an onboard programmer/debugger and the USB-UART/I2C bridge functionality block(KitProg), a coin cell battery holder, and a Cypress F-RAM™. The BLE Pioneer Kit supports 1.9 V,3 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V as operating voltages. The BLE Pioneer Kit supports two devices: PSoC 4 BLE is a 32-bit, 48-MHz ARM® Cortex®-M0 BLE solution with CapSense, 12-bit analog front end (1x SAR ADC, 4x low-power opamps, 2x low-power comparators, and 2x current DACs), 4x TCPWM1, 2x SCBs2, 4x UDBs3, LCD4, I2S5, and 36 GPIOs. PSoC 4 BLE provides a complete solution for sports and fitness monitors, wearable electronics, medical devices, home automation systems, and sensor-based low-power systems for the Internet of Things (IoT). PRoC BLE is a 32-bit, 48-MHz ARM Cortex-M0 BLE solution with CapSense, 12-bit ADC, 4x TCPWM1, 2x SCBs2, LCD4, I2S5, and 36 GPIOs. PRoC BLE provides a complete solution for BLE connectivity, HID, remote controls, and toys.Two different versions of the BLE Pioneer Kit are currently available. These kits differ in the BLEmodules and the dongle that are included. The baseboard in both kits are identical, so any BLEmodule can be used interchangeably with either baseboard. Table 1-1 lists the modules and dongleincluded in each kit.1. Configurable timer, counter, and pulse-width modulator.2. Serial communication blocks (configurable to I2C, SPI, or UART).3. Universal digital blocks4. Configurable liquid crystal display driver.5. Configurable integrated interchip sound serial bus interface.Table 1-1.

These examples are available from thePSoC Creator Start Page, as Figure 1-6 shows.Code examples can speed up your design process by starting you off with a complete design,instead of a blank page. The code examples also show how PSoC Creator Components can beused for various applications. Code examples and documentation are included, as shown inFigure 1-7 on page 17.In the Find Example Project dialog shown in Figure 1-7, you have several options:Filter for examples based on architecture or device family, that is, PSoC 3, PSoC 4 or PSoC 5LP; project name; or keyword.Select from the menu of examples offered based on the Filter Options.Review the example project’s description (on the Documentation tab).Review the code from the Sample Code tab. You can copy the code from this window and paste to your project, which can help speed up code development.Create a new project (and a new workspace if needed) based on the selection. This can speed up your design process by starting you off with a complete, basic design. You can then adapt that design to your application.Figure 1-6. Code Examples in PSoC Creator
