Enroll to Review ModusToolbox™ Software with the Infineon PSoC™ 62S2 Evaluation Kit

Table of contents

Description

ModusToolboxTm is comprised of a collection of software and cross-platform tools designed to work together with third-party solutions, providing an embedded developer the flexibility to define and utilize an efficient development environment that meets their unique needs. At its core, ModusToolboxTm features a GNU make build system, facilitating development within a traditional desktop IDE, a command line interface terminal, or as part of a Continuous Integration (CI) workflow.

Embedded software assets for ModusToolboxTm include board support packages (BSPs), peripheral drivers, middleware, and code examples. BSP targets are provided as an integral part of the build system, allowing user customization of the target hardware, or retargeting an application to a new device.

The Infineon 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.

Software and code examples

ModusToolboxTm software supports application development using the PSoCTm 62S2 evaluation kit by providing board support package (BSP), and validated code examples to get you started. To download the latest version of the software, please visit the ModusToolbox webpage. 

PSoCTm 62 - Performance Line

The PSoCTm 62 performance line, built on an ultra-low-power 40-nm platform, is a combination of Arm® Cortex®-M4 and Arm® Cortex®-M0+ CPUs, with low-power Flash technology, programmable digital and analog resources, and best-in-class CAPSENSETm technology for touch and proximity applications. Security is built into the platform architecture with hardware cryptographic accelerators, memory, and peripheral protection units. It's designed for Internet of Things applications, such as wearables, smart home, industrial IoT, portable medical devices, etc. PSoCTm 62 performance line is offered in a variety of packages including BGA, WLCSP, QFN, TQFP, and supports up to 2 MB of flash, 1 MB of on-chip SRAM, and up to 104 GPIOs.

  • CAPSENSETm buttons and slider for touch- and proximity-sensing applications
  • User buttons, LEDs, and a potentiometer for analog input

RoadTest Goals

The sponsor has a series of specific questions it would like to get feedback on for this roadtest. The roadtester should attempt to answer as many questions as possible, based on time availability:

  • 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?
  • Working with the PSoCTm 62S2 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?
