ROADTEST POLL: Would You Be Interested in Roadtesting a 32-bit Arm Cortex MCU Kit and its Software Development Tools?

rscasny
rscasny over 2 years ago

imageI plan on roadtesting the Infineon PSoCTm 62S2 evaluation kit (CY8CEVAL-062S2) in May.

Besides testing and reviewing the hardware, the sponsor is especially wanting the roadtesters to review its new version of ModusToolboxTm v3, including testing the getting-started experience and the flexibility of ModusToolboxTm. The sponsor has 11 specific questions it would be very interested in getting feedback on. (Scroll down and I have pasted the questions below.)

First, let me give you some details about the hardware of this roadtest.

The PSoCTm 62S2 evaluation kit (CY8CEVAL-062S2) enables you to evaluate and develop applications using the PSoCTm 62 MCU. The kit features the PSoCTm 62 MCU (CY8C624ABZI-S2D44): 150-MHz Arm® Cortex®-M4 and 100-MHz Arm® Cortex®-M0+ cores, 2MB of Flash, 1MB of SRAM, hardware crypto accelerator, rich analog and digital peripherals, audio and communication interfaces, and industry-leading capacitive-sensing with CAPSENSETm technology.This kit features an M.2 interface that enables you to connect the supported M.2 radio modules based on AIROCTm Wi-Fi/Bluetooth® combo devices. This feature enables flexible evaluation of the radio module that best suits your wireless connectivity requirements. With PSoCTm 62 MCU as the Wi-Fi host MCU, and the AIROCTm device enabling Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® connectivity, you can easily prototype and evaluate embedded IoT applications using this kit. In addition, the kit also features an OPTIGATm Trust-M security controller for secured cloud device provisioning.

Here are some features:

  • PSoCTm 62 MCU (CY8C624ABZI-S2D44)
  • M.2 interface connector to connect the M.2 radio modules. By default, the kit package includes Sterling-LWB5+ M.2 radio module from Laird Connectivity for out-of-the-box evaluation
  • OPTIGATm Trust-M security controller
  • mikroBUS interface for hardware expansion using Click boards
  • Headers compatible with Arduino Uno R3 for hardware expansion using Arduino shields
  • 512-Mbit external Quad-SPI NOR Flash, 4-Mbit Quad SPI F-RAM, microSD card interface
  • KitProg3 on-board SWD programmer/debugger, USB-UART and USB-I2C bridge functionality through USB connector
  • CAPSENSETm buttons and slider for touch- and proximity-sensing applications
  • User buttons, LEDs, and a potentiometer for analog input

Here's the documentation:

Schematic
Various Hardware files (including Gerber, etc.)
ModusToolbox Software 

For More Information

The review of the ModusToolbox Software is a key part of this roatest. The sponsor provided me with 11 specific questions that it would like feedback on. They are:

Test the getting started experience of ModusToolboxTm 

  • Are the resources you need readily available to start developing with ModusToolboxTm?
  • What is your assessment on getting started with ModusToolboxTm from a new user’s perspective?
  • What documentation/content was most beneficial in your ModusToolboxTm development experience? (User Guides, Videos, Training Classes, Community) 
  • Which available Code Examples did you find most useful in getting started?

Explore the flexibility of ModusToolboxTm 

  • Are you able to use the ModusToolboxTm Library Manager to integrate additional software? What middleware did you utilize?
  • Which IDE do you prefer to use with ModusToolboxTm?
  • Are you able to utilize both cores available on the PSoCTm 62 device within ModusToolboxTm? 
  • Did you use PDL drivers, Hardware Abstraction APIs, or a combination of both?

Project building with the PSoCTm Evaluation Kit and ModusToolboxTm

  • How easy was it to leverage the capabilities on the board and the expansion interfaces?
  • How easy was it to program and debug your application with the evaluation board?
  • Are you able to utilize the wireless connectivity applications (Wi-Fi, BLE) in ModusToolboxTm with PSoCTm 6 MCU and AIROCTm combo module on the kit?

    I might be interested in the road test.

    Would my ADD issue's be considered a disadvantage to the road test?

    I am from Bangladesh and my country is not under any trade restrictions of USA, EU or UK. But I can not apply any RoadTest. I an getting the message: this RoadTest is not available in your country. Can anyone explain the reason?  #rscasny

    Learning Modus Toolbox is definitely on my list of things I want to do and this is a great platform to do it on. However I also like to learn-by-doing so I would need to come up with an interesting application for this 2 core platform. I'm thinking about it, but I am not quite there yet.

    I voted "No" - not because it doesn't look like an interesting product but just because I don't have the headspace for yet another microcontroller toolchain.

    Also, I took a quick look at the (then Cypress) PSoC devices a few years ago and I think they're the ones that have an FPGA-like set of programmable peripherals. However, when I did a quick look at the documentation I couldn't verify this. Assuming this is a significant part of their feature set, I'd expect this to be easy information to find.
