11. Development Tool Selection
11.1 Software
11.1.1 PSoC Designer
At the core of the PSoC development software suite is
PSoC Designer, used to generate PSoC firmware applications.
PSoC Designer is available free of charge at
http://www.cypress.com and includes a free C compiler.
11.1.2 PSoC Programmer
Flexible enough to be used on the bench in development, yet
suitable for factory programming, PSoC Programmer works
either as a standalone programming application or it can operate
directly from PSoC Designer. PSoC Programmer software is
compatible with both PSoC ICE-Cube in-circuit emulator and
PSoC MiniProg. PSoC programmer is available free of charge at
http://www.cypress.com.
11.2 Development Kits
All development kits can be purchased from the Cypress Online
Store.
