AN73503 describes how to implement a USB bootloader for PSoC 3 and PSoC 5LP devices by using the USB Human Interface Device (HID) class. It also shows how to build a Windows-based USB host program. A PSoC Creator project and an example host program are included.

Introduction

Bootloaders are a common part of MCU system design. A bootloader makes it possible for a product's firmware to be updated in the field. At the factory, initial programming of firmware into a product is typically done through the MCU’s Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) or Serial Wire Debugger (SWD) interface. However, these interfaces are usually not available in the field.

This is where bootloading comes in. Bootloading is a process that allows you to upgrade your system firmware over a standard communication interface such as USB or I2C. A bootloader communicates with a host to get new application code or data, and writes it into the device’s flash memory.

To get introduced to basics of PSoC 3 and PSoC 5LP Bootloader please refer  AN73854 - PSoC® 3 and PSoC 5LP - Introduction to Bootloaders. If you intend to learn how to develop I2C Bootloader for PSoC 3 and PSoC 5LP,  AN60317 - PSoC® 3/PSoC 5LP I2C Bootloader  should get you going. 

Since the projects involve the use of USB component, in case of PSoC 5LP it is mandatory to use an external 24 MHz crystal.

The Bootloader GUI provided with this App Note has been tested to work on full-fledged Windows operating system only.
The GUI is not tested and not guaranteed to work on Virtual machines.

The CapSense® Express™ family of touch sensing devices easily integrates into various products. They often replace existing mechanical switches and push buttons with little or no impact on the rest of the design. This application note describes methods and tips on how to smoothly design these devices; it also helps you make a robust design with CapSense Express.

Introduction

CapSense® is a widely accepted technology used to replace conventional mechanical switches. Cypress‟s new CapSense Express is a high performance fixed function CapSense enabled device that does not require any programming effort, unlike other CapSense-enabled PSoC® devices. CapSense Express is an extremely configurable and flexible device which does not require any external components for each sensor; it only requires an optional external capacitor for increased sensitivity. It incorporates a robust sensing technology, which is highly immune to noise and environmental conditions.

AN97044 discusses  the  key differences  that  need  to  be  considered when  migrating  from  FM25V20 to FM25V20A.

Introduction

FM25V20A, a 2-Mbit Serial (SPI) F-RAM, is a drop-in replacement device for FM25V20, which is now “Not recommended for new designs”. For all designs, the FM25V20A device can be considered as a superset of the FM25V20. The two devices are identical in terms of pinout, package composition and dimensions, and read/write functionality. This application note discusses the key differences between the two devices that need to be considered when migrating from FM25V20 to FM25V20A.

This application note also illustrates how PSoC® 1 can be used for sensing temperature using a DS18S20 (1-wire digital temperature sensor) and a TMP75 (Two-Wire digital temperature sensor) along with the help of the attached example project.

Introduction

Monitoring temperature is a critical function in systems, such as Servers/CPUs, Battery charging/management, Consumer products, and Industrial controls, especially where there is a concern of loss in performance, reliability, and safety, due to variations in temperature. Several kinds of devices are available for sensing temperature such as thermistors, resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), thermocouples, and analog and digital output sensors.

AN96527 explains technological advances introduced by the USB-IF Type-C Specification and the Power Delivery Specification and how they can be designed into practical products using Cypress CCG1 Controllers.
