Detailed Review:
I will start with a short but big thank you to Element14 and Infineon.
My much extended participation (sorry about that) in the review
“ModusToolbox
Software with the Infineon PSoC 62S2 Evaluation Kit”, gave me many interesting experiences and great pleasure.
While conducting this project, I made many lists of materials and documentation, but I do not plan to copy them in my study. Everything is easily available on Infineon websites.
So I will quote the most important data and links that I used and which were guides in this wonderful adventure.
The subject of this test is PSoC 62S2 evaluation kit (CY8CEVAL-062S2)
the full set name is also used CY8CEVAL-062S2-LAI-4373M2
The kit features the PSoC 62 MCU (CY8C624ABZI-S2D44): 150-MHz Arm Cortex-M4 and 100-MHz Arm Cortex-M0+ cores, 2MB of Flash, 1MB of SRAM,
and is equipped with capacitive-sensing CAPSENSE.
and also equipped with an M.2 interface that enables you to connect radio modules based on AIROC Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo devices.
In my case it is Sterling-LWB5+ wifi module powered by Infineon’s CYW4373E
All information about the hardware, available software, manuals and usage examples as well as Quick Start Guide are available here:
https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/evaluation-boards/cy8ceval-062s2/
Very useful information can be obtained from recorded webinar “Ecosystems for PSoC and XMC MCUs” https://events.hackster.io/psoc-xmc-ecosystems-webinar
Also recent element14 event: “At The Core Design Challenge”
gives a lot of information about PSoC 62 At The Core Design Challenge
I even checked whether chat gpt would be helpful in exploring the PSOC set. Here is an example of a response:
The PSoC 6 Wi-Fi BT Prototyping Kit (CY8CPROTO-062-4343W) is a low-cost hardware platform that is purpose-built for the IoT,
delivering the industry’s lowest power, most flexibility, and built-in security for the IoT.
Before starting, ensure you have the following:
- PC (I used a Macbook) with USB port and Wifi connectivity
- UART terminal software, such as Tera Term or Minicom (I used Mac terminal built-in SCREEN)
- Non-enterprise Wifi network with internet access or a mobile hotspot
Then
The first thing to do is determine which device you want to connect to.
> ls /dev/tty.*
In this case, a PSoC 62 MCU with the name of /dev/tty.usbmodem14103
Once you’ve determined which device you would like to use, you can execute the SCREEN command to start the serial terminal session on your Mac.
Remember to specify the speed (baud rate), data, parity, stop bit, flow control after the device name.
Baud rate: 115200
Data: 8 bit
Parity: None
Stop bit: 1 bit
Flow control: None
> screen /dev/tty.usbmodem14103 115200,cs8,-parenb,-cstopb,-ixon,-ixoff
Once you’ve connected, you can use the terminal as you normally would.
However, you cannot trust this tool too much
The CY8CKIT-028-SENSE board, also known as the Cypress PSoC® 6 Wi-Fi BT Prototyping Kit, is designed to showcase the capabilities
of the Cypress PSoC 6 microcontroller and its various peripherals. It includes a wide range of sensors that allow developers to create IoT (Internet of Things) applications
and explore different sensor functionalities. Here are the sensors included on the CY8CKIT-028-SENSE board:
Ambient Light Sensor (ALS): Measures the ambient light intensity and can be used for tasks like adjusting display brightness based on the environment's lighting conditions. …
ME:
you are wrong, CY8CKIT-028-SENSE board do not have Ambient Light Sensor
ChatGPT
Apologies for the confusion. You are right; the CY8CKIT-028-SENSE board does not have an ambient light sensor. I appreciate you pointing that out.
ME:
give simple example for Barometric Air Pressure Sensor in CY8CKIT-028-SENSE
ChatGPT
I apologize for the confusion, but the CY8CKIT-028-SENSE (Cypress PSoC® 6 Wi-Fi BT Prototyping Kit) does not include a built-in barometric air pressure sensor.
It offers various other sensors like the proximity sensor, PIR motion sensor, digital microphone, capacitive touch slider, etc., as mentioned in previous examples.
If you specifically need to work with a barometric air pressure sensor, you would need to use an external sensor and connect it to the kit through the available GPIOs, I2C, or SPI interfaces.
To clarify, the CY8CKIT-028-SENSE board, also known as the Cypress PSoC® 6 Wi-Fi BT Prototyping Kit, includes various sensors, but it does not have an ambient light sensor among them.
Instead, it offers other sensors such as the proximity sensor, PIR motion sensor, digital microphone, capacitive touch slider, potentiometer, and more.
If you are looking for examples related to other sensors on the CY8CKIT-028-SENSE board, please feel free to ask, and I'll be happy to provide the relevant information.
Communication module
Sterling-LWB5+ documentation:
I tried to combine CY8CEVAL with CY8CKIT-028-SENSE board
offering additional equipment:
Digital XENSIV MEMS Microphone(s)
Digital XENSIV Barometric Air Pressure Sensor
Bosch 9-axis Absolute Orientation Sensor
Piezo MEMS Analog Microphone
Audio Codec and headset jack
OLED Display Module
Additionally in that RT I used older Infineon (Cypress) board
Cypress PSoC6 Pioneer Kit CY8CKIT equipped with CY8CKIT-028-TFT
I had the pleasure of testing it https://community.element14.com/products/roadtest/rv/roadtest_reviews/591/psoc_6_wifi-bt_pione_4
In the roadtest I used Infineon AIROC Bluetooth Connect App
The kit is equipped also with the OPTIGA Trust M is a high-end security solution
Discussing tools I must mention the large software ecosystem - ModusToolbox
ModusToolbox is a software development environment provided by Cypress Semiconductor (now part of Infineon Technologies) for developing applications on their PSoC microcontrollers.
It contains a set of multi-platform development tools and a suite of GitHub-hosted firmware libraries. Together, they enable an development experience for customers creating converged
MCU and Wireless systems.
https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/design-support/tools/sdk/modustoolbox-software/
richly supported on GitHub
https://github.com/Infineon?q=mtb-example-anycloud%20NOT%20Deprecated
Infineon prepared ModusToolbox training classes available on GitHub:
ModusToolbox Software Training
https://github.com/Infineon/training-modustoolbox
These materials are invaluable In my opinion.
ModusToolbox for Machine Learning
ModusToolbox Machine Learning enables evaluating and deploying Machine Learning models on Infineon MCUs.
ML is designed to work with the ModusToolbox ecosystem and can be added into existing projects to enable inferencing on edge devices.
Yes, that was truly pleasure
At the start simple application Hello World runs, LED is blinking
According to the instructions, it is recommended to install SEGGER J-Link
https://www.segger.com/products/debug-probes/j-link/
However, I find that it was not necessary
I learned the name ModusToolbox during the previous test of the Cypress PSoC6 Pioneer Kit CY8CKIT.
However, at that time I was using the PSoC Creator & PSoC Programmer & WICED Studio software.
Currently, ModusToolbox is a perfectly developed tool and working with it (despite its large size) is very pleasant.
The selection and installation of the software is described in detail in the instructions. This is done efficiently and smoothly.
main M.T. folder:
Modus-shell - use of project-creator-cli
Example of run project creator
Most important TOOLS of ModusTOOLbox 3.1:

Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox 3.1
dashboard 3.1.0
Linking with SEGGER J-Link (global SEGGER J-Link Path)
KitProg3
As I remember Cypress PSoC6 Pioneer Kit CY8CKIT came with KitProg2 and there was some confusion about having to upgrade to KitProg3.
this problem no longer exists
However, after reading the manuals, I had some doubts
basically regarding to instructions:
but:
“The ModusToolbox Programming tools package includes a new ModusToolbox Programmer, which replaces the legacy Cypress Programmer application.”
Anyway,
After connecting to PC using USB the board was properly recognized
Even though Modustoolbox is a powerful and extensive tool and like many ECLIPSE environments it can even be intimidating,
programming and especially loading examples is child's play.
We select CY8CEVAL-062S2
Hello World as the first example from annual and from “ QUICK START GUIDE”
It is also the program pre-loaded onto the board, available right after unpacking and connecting to PC.
Here we can practice programming this example from scratch.

The program allows you to check the basic communication : UART and simple I/O - blinking LED
what we see on the terminal - in my case it is the PuTTY 
client:

****************** HAL: Hello World! Example ******************
Hello World!!!
For more projects, visit our code examples repositories:
https://github.com/Infineon/Code-Examples-for-ModusToolbox-Software
Press 'Enter' key to pause or resume blinking the user LED
video from example: Hello_World
In the next step, I decided to test the CAPSENSE functionalities, known to me from the previous RT of Cypress PSoC6 Pioneer Kit CY8CKIT
In the CAPSENSE example, we use slider and two CAPSENSE buttons. 
Button 0 turns the LED on, Button 1 turns the LED off and the slider controls the brightness of the LED.
on terminal:
Browsing the resources of M.T. I discovered interesting tool, we can monitor data using CAPSENSE Tuner: capsense-tuner.exe
Open and open the design.cycapsense file for the respective kit, which is present in the bsps/TARGET_\<BSP-NAME>/config folder.
Let's move on to full use of the set's peripherals. Here is a simple program that supports the WiFi card
CY8CEVAL-062S2-LAI-4373M2 is the board support package for the PSoC 62S2 Evaluation Kit in combination with the Sterling-LWB5+ M.2 radio module
and supports PSoC 6 MCU examples and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity examples.
Wi-Fi scan example
My router was found, all necessary data was shared: RSSI (-91) channel: 5 MAC address and protocol WPA2-AES-PSK.
ModusToolbox for Machine learning provides support for both areas: prepare the Model and then train it.
I tried to follow the path dedicated in the instructions
Import model from TensorFlow training frameworks
Optimize my model for PSOC Oplatform
Validate the performance of the model by checking performance against test data
Generate optimized model code and libraries which are integrated with the ModusToolbox flow
sounds simple until now!
I was also very keen on 
TensorFlow.
https://www.tensorflow.org/?hl=pl
I planned to learn how to implement, use and assess it in an environment data analytics project.
Here is the record of my trials:
- > Install ModusToolbox Machine Learning Pack
for download Infineon account is required
modustoolboxpackmachinelearning_2.0.0.444_Windows_x64.exe
ml-configurator.exe
folder pretrained_models - lack!!!
where is: $pre$
mtb_ml_gen
Unfortunately, I was surprised by the lack of required folders, so I stopped at this point for now.
Regarding failures, I have not been able to evaluate the tool bsp-assistant.exe
I also encountered a problem when trying to connect the CY8CEVAL set to the CY8CKIT-028-SENSE board.
video: sense CY8CKIT-028-SENSE board
I planed also to use CY8CKIT-028-TFT … But this too was beyond me.
I decided to test ModusToolbox with older board -the PSoC 6 WiFi-BT Pioneer Kit
That set consists of PSoC 62 MCU (CY8C6247BZI-D54) and the Murata LBEE5KL1DX Module (CYW4343W WiFi + Bluetooth Combo Chip).
Both of the above examples: Hello World and Capsense compile and run on the old PSoC CYPRYS board.
Of course, you need to choose the right set at ModusToolbox.
Machine Learning: Gesture classification
Connect the CY8CKIT-028-TFT shield to the baseboard.
If using the CY8CKIT-028-SENSE shield, change SHIELD_DATA_COLLECTION=CY_028_TFT_SHIELD in the Makefile based on the shields revision.
To check the version of CY8CKIT-028-SENSE, locate the sticker on the bottom of the shield's box which indicates the revision.
If the shield is Rev "**", use SHIELD_DATA_COLLECTION=CY_028_SENSE_SHIELD_v1.
If the shield is Rev "*A", use SHIELD_DATA_COLLECTION=CY_028_SENSE_SHIELD_v2.
Connect the board to your PC using the provided USB cable through the KitProg3 USB connector.
Open a terminal program and select the KitProg3 COM port. Set the serial port parameters to 8N1 and 115200 baud.
Program the board using one of the following:
Using Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox Using CLI
After programming, the application starts automatically. Confirm that "Gesture Classification Example" and some log data are printed on the UART terminal. The gesture classifications and confidence are updated continuously.
Hold the board with the orientation as shown below while moving your arm to complete a gesture:
My previous tests of the PSoC Cyprys set involved the use of the BT application. Let's check if the previously used environment is still available
What I used in the past:
Cypress Semiconductor Inc. mobile applications
CySmart and 
Cypress® BLE-Beacon
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cypress.cypressblebeacon
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cypress.cysmart
are still available
But WICED Sense was cancelled
Anyway, the currently recommended app is AIROC Bluetooth Connect App.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.infineon.airocbluetoothconnect
I decided to test it using the example BTSTACK: Bluetooth® LE hello sensor

Remarks to "Test the getting started experience of ModusToolbox”
Many resources even beyond I need were readily available to start developing with ModusToolbox
I can say that from a new user's perspective, the ModusToolbox software was easy to install and user-friendly. Most of the activities are intuitive.
The program has good manuals and is rich in examples. My assessment on getting started with ModusToolboxis truly positive.
I started learning of ModusToolbox from reading three instructions:
ModusToolbox tools package installation guide
Infineon-ModusToolbox_3.1_a_Tools_Package_Installation_Guide-GettingStarted-v01_00-EN.pdf
ModusToolbox tools package user guide
Infineon-ModusToolbox_3.1_a_Tools_Package_User_Guide-GettingStarted-v01_00-EN.pdf
and
ModusToolbox tools package release notes:
Infineon-ModusToolbox_3.1_a_Tools_Package_Release_Notes-GettingStarted-v01_00-EN.pdf.
Then I looked at
Getting started with PSoC 6 MCU on ModusToolbox software:
and
ModusToolbox tools package quick start guide:
and finally I started to explore GitHub with many ModusToolbox examples.
I can’t neglect information from videos Cypress/ Infineon community foras or Hackster resources:
All of the above are very informative. I like very much ModusToolbox Training Materials on GitHub
Regarding Code Examples most useful in getting started are simplest as Hello World or WiFi Scanner.
Referring to “Explore the flexibility of ModusToolbox”: I must confess I had some difficulties trying to integrate additional software using the ModusToolbox Library Manager
Despite its complexity I prefer the Eclipse environment for ModusToolbox.
Regarding “Working with the PSoC 62S2 Evaluation Kit and ModusToolbox”: I tried to implement expansion interfaces to a limited extent hence it is difficult to make a factual assessment.
However, the resources and functionality of ModusToolbox on the one hand, and the advancement of PSoC 62S2 on the other, guarantee the convenience of developing such projects.
Despite dealing only with simple projects, I can say that program and debugging of applications with the evaluation board went easy and smoothly.
As I wrote at the beginning, even a significant extension of the testing time did not allow me to familiarize myself with all the functionalities and possibilities of the PSOC set.
Honestly, I only dealt with the basic ones, described in the manuals and given in the examples. However, this allows us to very well assess the capabilities of systems based on PSoC 62.
Additional peripherals, including IO and communication modules, work perfectly and are easy to program.
Speaking of programming, I would like to rate Modus toolbox very highly. A powerful programming machine, but despite its universality and considerable complexity,
it does not pose a problem even for beginner designers.
I used to be intimidated by the eclipse environment. The amount of disk space and the multitude of additional "unnecessary" functions were irritating.
Now I changed my mind and rate it very well.
During this project, I see that compared to the previous tool PSoC Creator & PSoC Programmer & WICED Studio, the currently used ModusToolbox is more convenient.
The quality and accessibility of the documentation and the multitude of examples for both developing skills in PSOC modules and ModusToolbox software cannot be overestimated.
Thank you again for choosing me to participate in this program. I hope that I have not abused your trust by delaying the publication of this report.
I also hope to continue evaluating the kit and software.
