Safety Information
The CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) Pioneer Kit is intended for development
purposes 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 marketed
unless all required authorizations are first obtained. Contact support@cypress.com for details.
CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A boards contain ESD-sensitive devices.
Electrostatic charges readily accumulate on the human body and any
equipment, and can discharge without detection. Permanent damage
may occur on devices subjected to high-energy discharges. Proper
ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation
or loss of functionality. Store unused CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A boards in
the protective shipping package.
End-of-Life/Product Recycling
The end-of-life cycle for this kit is five years from the date of
manufacture mentioned on the back of the box. Contact your nearest
recycler to discard the kit.
General Safety Instructions
ESD Protection
ESD can damage boards and associated components. Cypress recommends that the user perform
procedures only at an ESD workstation. If an ESD workstation is not available, use appropriate ESD
protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to the chassis ground (any unpainted metal
surface) on the board when handling parts.
Handling Boards
CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A boards are sensitive to ESD. Hold the board only by its edges. After removing
the board from its box, place it on a grounded, static-free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if
available. Do not slide the board over any surface.
CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) Pioneer Kit Guide, Doc. # 002-11468 Rev. *A
Battery Care and Use
Use 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 Disposal
Batteries can be safely disposed with normal household waste. Never dispose batteries in fire
because they can explode. It is important not to dispose large amounts of batteries in a group. Used
batteries are often not completely “dead.” Grouping used batteries together can bring these “live”
batteries into contact with one another, creating safety risks.

Introduction
Thank 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® 4
BLE and PRoC™ BLE (Programmable Radio-on-Chip) devices.
Bluetooth SMART™ or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a full-featured, layered, communication
protocol that includes a 2.4-GHz radio, a link layer, and an application layer. However, you do not
need to understand the complex protocol to implement your projects using PSoC 4 BLE or PRoC
BLE. The Cypress BLE solution, which includes the device, the BLE Component, and the BLE
firmware 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 develop
and 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 PSoC
Creator. The CySmart Central Emulation Tool is a host tool for Windows PCs, which provides an
easy-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 pushbutton 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, I 2S5, 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 BLE
modules and the dongle that are included. The baseboard in both kits are identical, so any BLE
module can be used interchangeably with either baseboard. Table 1-1 lists the modules and dongle
included in each kit.

Software Installation
This chapter describes the steps to install the software tools and packages on a computer for using
the BLE Pioneer Kit. This includes the IDE in which the projects will be built and used for programming.
2.1
Before You Begin
All Cypress software installations require administrator privileges. Ensure you have the required
privileges on the system for successful installation. Before you install the kit software, close any
other Cypress software that is currently running.
2.2
Install Software
Follow these steps to install the BLE Pioneer Kit software:
1. Download the kit software from www.cypress.com/CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A. The software is
available in the following formats:
a. CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A Kit Complete Setup: This installation package contains the files related
to the BLE Pioneer Kit. However, it does not include the Windows Installer or Microsoft .NET
framework packages. If these packages are not on your computer, the installer directs you to
download and install them from the Internet.
b. CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A Kit Only Package: This executable file installs only the BLE Pioneer Kit
contents, which include code examples, hardware files, and user documents. This package
can be used if all the software prerequisites (listed in step 5) are installed on your computer.
c. CY8CKIT-042-BLE-A DVD ISO: This file is a complete package, stored in a DVD-ROM image
format, that you can use to create a DVD or extract using an ISO extraction program such as
WinZip or WinRAR. The file can also be mounted similar to a virtual CD/DVD using virtual
drive programs such as ‘Virtual CloneDrive’ and ‘MagicISO’. This file includes all the required
software, utilities, drivers, hardware files, and user documents.
2. If you have downloaded the ISO file, mount it on a virtual drive; if you do not have a virtual drive
to mount, extract the ISO contents using the appropriate ISO extractor (such as MagicISO or
PowerISO). Double-click cyautorun.exe in the root directory of the extracted content or mounted
ISO if “Autorun from CD/DVD” is not enabled on the computer. The installation window will
appear automatically.
Note: If you are using the “Kit Complete Setup” or “Kit Only Package” file, then go to step 4 for
installation.

Software Installation
2.3
Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 USB Selective Suspend Setting
The Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 operating sy stems issue a suspend command to a connected
USB device if there is no activity on its USB bus. This may happen to the BLE Pioneer Kit/BLE Dongle if the driver installation is not complete or the driver is not found. In this situation, as a response
to the suspend command from the operating system, the KitProg will shut down the onboard LDO to
remain within the USB suspend current requirement. Due to this, the BLE Pioneer Kit will not be
powered and will not be functional.
To prevent this, do either of the following:
Install the kit software on the Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 operating system before using the BLE
Pioneer Kit.
Disable the USB selective suspend setting for the BLE Pioneer Kit from Power Options on Windows 8.1, by following these steps:
a. From Control Panel, go to Power Options.
b. Click Change Plan Settings corresponding to your power plan.
c. Click Change Advanced Power Settings.
d. Under Advanced settings, expand USB Settings > USB selective suspend setting.
e. Select the Disabled option for Plugged in and On battery operation.
f. Click OK.
