PSoC 4 BLE or PRoC BLE
The PRoC BLE or PSoC 4 BLE is the main component on the BLE Module. It provides the RF
interface and analog and digital capability. The PRoC BLE or PSoC 4 BLE pins are mapped to the
Bluetooth module headers (see Figure 5-20). For more information, refer to the BLE web page.

Bluetooth Module Headers (20-Pin and 24-Pin Headers)
The PSoC 4 BLE and PRoC BLE Modules connect to the Pioneer board using the two (20-pin and
24-pin) Bluetooth module headers (Figure 5-21). All GPIOs and power domains are brought out to
these headers. These headers are the counterparts of the connectors in section 5.1.4.

Antenna Matching Network
An Antenna Matching Network is required between the BLE device and the antenna to achieve optimum performance (Figure 5-23). The matching network has four main tasks:
■
Transform the balanced output of the radio to an unbalanced connection to the antenna (balun).
■
Transform the output impedance of the radio to a 50-ohm antenna.
■
Suppress harmonics to a level below the regulations level in TX mode.
■
Suppress the local oscillator (LO) leakage in RX mode.

USB Type A Plug
The PSoC 5LP connects to the USB port of a PC through a USB type A plug (Figure 5-27). This plug
can also be used to power the board. A resettable polyfuse is used to protect the computer's USB
ports from shorts and overcurrent. If more than 500 mA is applied to the USB port, the fuse will automatically break the connection until the short or overload is removed. The VBUS, D+, and D– lines
from the USB connector are also protected against ESD events using TVS diodes.

Advanced Topics
This chapter describes advanced features of the BLE Pioneer kit as well as the corresponding
projects. It can be used as reference to exploit these features for other applications, according to
project requirements.
6.1
Using PSoC 5LP as USB-UART Bridge
The PSoC 5LP serves as a USB-UART bridge, which can communicate with the COM terminal
software. This section explains how to create a PSoC 4 BLE code example to communicate with the
COM terminal software.
Users who have a Windows operating system that does not have HyperTerminal can use an
alternative terminal software such as PuTTY.
1. Create a new PSoC 4 BLE project in PSoC Creator, as shown in Figure 6-1. Select an
appropriate location for your project and rename the project as required.

3. To configure the UART, double-click or right-click the UART component and select Configure, as
shown in Figure 6-3.

6. Place the following code in your main.c project file. The code will echo any UART data received.
int main()
uint8 ch;
/* Start SCB UART TX+RX operation */
UART_Start();
/* Transmit String through UART TX Line */
UART_UartPutString("CY8CKIT-042-BLE USB-UART");
for(;;)
/* Get received character or zero if nothing has been received yet
*/
ch = UART_UartGetChar();
if(0u != ch)
/* Send the data through UART. This function is blocking and waits until
there is an entry into the TX FIFO. */
UART_UartPutChar(ch);
7. Build the project by clicking Build > Build {Project Name} or [Shift][F6]. After the project is built
without errors and warnings, program (by choosing Debug > Program) the project to PSoC 4
BLE/PRoC BLE through the PSoC 5LP USB programmer or MiniProg3.
Note: UART RX and UART TX can be routed to any digital pin on PSoC 4 BLE/PRoC BLE based
on the configuration of the UART component. An SCB implementation of UART will route the RX
and TX pins to one of the following subsets: (P0[0], P0[1] or P0[4], P0[5] or P1[4], P1[5] or P3[0],
P3[1] or P3[4], P3[5] or P5[0], P5[1]).

Developing Applications for PSoC 5LP
The BLE Pioneer kit has an onboard PSoC 5LP whose primary function is that of a programmer and
a bridge. You can build either a normal project or a bootloadable project using the PSoC 5LP.
The PSoC 5LP connections in the Pioneer board are summarized in Figure 6-26. J8 is the I/O
connector. The USB (J13) is connected and used as the PC interface. However, you can still use this
USB connection to create customized USB designs.
Figure 6-26. PSoC 5LP Connections on BLE Pioneer Kit
The programming header (J7) is meant for standalone programming. This header needs to be
populated. See the 'No Load Components' section in Bill of Materials (BOM) on page 184.

Building a Bootloadable Project for PSoC 5LP
All bootloadable applications developed for the PSoC 5LP should be based on the bootloader hex
file, which is programmed onto the kit.
The hex files are included in the following kit installer directory:

9. Keep the reset switch (SW1) pressed and plug in the USB mini-B connector. If the switch is
pressed for more than 100 ms, the PSoC 5LP enters into bootloader. Click the Program button
(Figure 6-38) in the Bootloader Host tool to program the device.

10.If bootload is successful, the log of the tool displays “Programming Finished Successfully”;
otherwise, it displays “Failed” and a reason for the failure.
Notes:
■
The PSoC 5LP pins are brought to the PSoC 5LP GPIO header (J8). These pins are selected to
support high-performance analog and digital projects. See PSoC 5LP GPIO Header (J8) on
page 97 for pin information.
■
Take care when allocating the PSoC 5LP pins for custom applications. For example, P2[0]–P2[4]
are dedicated for programming the PSoC 4 BLE/PRoC BLE. See Schematics on page 168
before allocating the pins.
■
When a custom project is programmed onto the PSoC 5LP, the initial capability of the PSoC 5LP
to act as a programmer, USB-UART bridge, or USB-I2C bridge in not available.
■
The status LED does not function unless used by the custom project.
For additional information on bootloaders, refer to Cypress application note, AN73503 - USB HID
Bootloader for PSoC 3 and PSoC 5LP.

6.3.2
Building a Normal Project for PSoC 5LP
A normal project is a completely new project created for the PSoC 5LP device on the CY8CKIT-042.
Here the entire flash of the PSoC 5LP is programmed, overwriting all bootloader and programming
code. To recover the programmer, reprogram the PSoC 5LP device with the factory-set KitProg.hex
file, which is shipped with the kit installer.
The KitProg.hex file is available at the following location:
\CY8CKIT-042-BLE Kit\\Firmware\
Programmer\KitProg
This advanced functionality requires a MiniProg3 programmer, which is not included with this kit. The
MiniProg3 can be purchased from www.cypress.com/go/CY8CKIT-002.
To build a normal project for the PSoC 5LP, follow these steps:
1. In PSoC Creator, choose New > Project > PSoC 5LP, click the expand button adjacent to
Advanced, select Device as CY8C5868LTI-LP039, and select Application Type as Normal
from the drop-down list, as shown in Figure 6-40.

2. Develop your custom project.
3. Build the project in PSoC Creator by choosing Build > Build Project or pressing [Shift] [F6].

4. Connect the 10-pin connector of MiniProg3 to the onboard 10-pin SWD debug and programming
header J7 (which needs to be populated).
5. To program the PSoC 5LP with PSoC Creator, choose Debug > Program or press [Ctrl] [F5]. If
the Programming window appears and shows MiniProg3 and the selected device in the project
under it (CY8C5868LTI-LP039); click on the device and click Connect to program.

PSoC 5LP Factory Program Restore Instructions
The BLE Pioneer Kit features a PSoC 5LP device that comes factory-programmed as the onboard
programmer and debugger for the PSoC 4 BLE/PRoC BLE device.
In addition to creating applications for the BLE device, you can also create custom applications for
the PSoC 5LP device on this kit. For details, see section Developing Applications for PSoC 5LP on
page 134. Reprogramming or bootloading the PSoC 5LP device with a new flash image will
overwrite the factory program and forfeit the ability to use the PSoC 5LP device as a programmer/
debugger for the BLE device. Follow the instructions to restore the factory program on the PSoC
5LP and enable the programmer/debugger functionality.
6.4.1
PSoC 5LP is Programmed with a Bootloadable Application
If the PSoC 5LP is programmed with a bootloadable application, restore the factory program by
using one of the following two methods.
6.4.1.1
Restore PSoC 5LP Factory Program Using PSoC Programmer
1. Launch PSoC Programmer 3.21.1 or later from Start > Cypress > PSoC Programmer.
2. Configure the BLE Pioneer Kit in service mode. To do this, while holding down the reset button
(SW1 Reset), plug in the BLE Pioneer Kit to the computer using the included USB cable (USB A
to mini-B). This puts the PSoC 5LP into service mode, which is indicated by the blinking green
status LED.
