CY8C24223A, CY8C24423A

The next step is to write your main program, and any sub-routines using PSoC Designer’s Application Editor subsystem. The Application Editor includes a Project Manager that allows you to open the project source code files (including all generated code files) from a hierarchal view. The source code editor provides syntax coloring and advanced edit features for both C and assembly language. File search capabilities include simple string searches and recursive “grep-style” patterns. A single mouse click invokes the Build Manager. It employs a professional-strength “makefile” system to automatically analyze all file dependencies and run the compiler and assembler as necessary. Project-level options control optimization strategies used by the compiler and linker. Syntax errors are displayed in a console window. Double clicking the error message takes you directly to the offending line of source code. When all is correct, the linker builds a HEX file image suitable for programming.

The last step in the development process takes place inside the PSoC Designer’s Debugger subsystem. The Debugger downloads the HEX image to the In-Circuit Emulator (ICE) where it runs at full speed. Debugger capabilities rival those of systems costing many times more. In addition to traditional single-step, run-to-breakpoint and watch-variable features, the Debugger provides a large trace buffer and allows you define complex breakpoint events that include monitoring address and data bus values, memory locations and external signals.

Units of Measure

A units of measure table is located in the Electrical Specifications section. Table 5 on page 10 lists all the abbreviations used to measure the PSoC devices.

Numeric Naming

Hexadecimal numbers are represented with all letters in uppercase with an appended lowercase ‘h’ (for example, ‘14h’ or ‘3Ah’). Hexadecimal numbers may also be represented by a ‘0x’ prefix, the C coding convention. Binary numbers have an appended lowercase ‘b’ (for example, 01010100b’ or ‘01000011b’). Numbers not indicated by an ‘h’ or ‘b’ are decimal.
