CY8CKIT-042-BLE Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) Pioneer Kit Guide, Doc. # 001-93731 Rev. *A 6Safety InformationThe CY8CKIT-042-BLE Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Pioneer Kit is intended for use as adevelopment platform for hardware or software in a laboratory environment. The board is an opensystem design, which does not include a shielded enclosure. Due to this reason, the board maycause interference with other electrical or electronic devices in close proximity. In a domesticenvironment, this product may cause radio interference. In such cases, the user may be required totake adequate preventive measures. Also, this board should not be used near any medicalequipment or critical RF devices.The CY8CKIT-042-BLE Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Pioneer Kit is intended for use as adevelopment, demonstration and evaluation platform for hardware or software in a laboratoryenvironment. The kit is not intended for general consumer use. Cypress recommends that the kitonly be used in a shielded room.Attaching additional wiring to this product or modifying the product operation from the factory defaultmay affect its performance and cause interference with other apparatus in the immediate vicinity. Ifsuch interference is detected, suitable mitigating measures should be taken.The CY8CKIT-042-BLE boards contain electrostatic discharge (ESD)sensitive devices. Electrostatic charges readily accumulate on thehuman body and any equipment, which can cause a discharge withoutdetection. Permanent damage may occur on devices subjected tohigh-energy discharges. Proper ESD precautions are recommendedto avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality. Store unusedCY8CKIT-042-BLE boards in the protective shipping package.End-of-Life/Product RecyclingThe end-of-life cycle for this kit is five years from the date ofmanufacture mentioned on the back of the box. Contact your nearestrecycler to discard the kit.

CY8CKIT-042-BLE Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) Pioneer Kit Guide, Doc. # 001-93731 Rev. *A 7General Safety InstructionsESD ProtectionESD can damage boards and associated components. Cypress recommends that the user performprocedures only at an ESD workstation. If an ESD workstation is not available, use appropriate ESDprotection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to the chassis ground (any unpainted metalsurface) on the board when handling parts.Handling BoardsCY8CKIT-042-BLE boards are sensitive to ESD. Hold the board only by its edges. After removingthe board from its box, place it on a grounded, static-free surface. Use a conductive foam pad ifavailable. Do not slide the board over any surface.Battery Care and Use■Use the correct size and type of battery specified in this guide. ■Keep battery contact surfaces and battery compartment contacts clean by rubbing them with a clean pencil eraser or a rough cloth each time you replace batteries. ■Remove the battery from a device when it is not expected to be in use for several months. ■Make sure that you insert the battery into your device properly, with the + (plus) and – (minus) terminals aligned correctly. ■Do not place the battery next to metallic objects such as keys and coins.■Never throw the battery into fire.■Do not open up the battery.■Do not short the battery.■Do not subject the battery to high temperatures or high humidity.■Store the battery in a dry place.■Do not recharge a battery unless it is marked “rechargeable.”Battery DisposalBatteries can be safely disposed of with normal household waste. Never dispose of batteries in firebecause they can explode. It is important not to dispose of large amounts of batteries in a group.Used batteries are often not completely “dead.” Grouping used batteries together can bring these“live” batteries into contact with one another, creating safety risks.

CY8CKIT-042-BLE Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) Pioneer Kit Guide, Doc. # 001-93731 Rev. *A 243. Kit OperationThis chapter introduces you to the BLE Pioneer kit and the features that will be used as part of the kitoperation. We will discuss features such as USB connection, programming/debugging, andprogrammer firmware update. The chapter also describes the USB-UART and USB-I2C bridgesalong with the PC tools that can be used to communicate with the BLE device on the kit.3.1 Theory of OperationFigure 3-1, Figure 3-2, and Figure 3-3 show the block diagrams for the BLE Pioneer baseboard, BLEmodule board, and BLE dongle.Figure 3-1. BLE Pioneer Baseboard Block DiagramThe BLE Pioneer board acts as the baseboard for the PSoC 4 BLE (red module) and PRoC BLE(black module). The Pioneer board contains a PSoC 5LP that is used as an onboard programmer ordebugger, and for the USB-Serial interface.The baseboard is Arduino form-factor compatible, enabling Arduino shields to be connected on topof the board to extend the functionality of BLE modules. The board also features a 1-Mb F-RAM, anRGB LED, a five-segment CapSense slider, a proximity header, a user switch, and a reset switch forthe PSoC 4 BLE and PRoC BLE devices on the module. The Pioneer board supports three voltagelevels: 1.9 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V.The baseboard can also be used as a standalone programmer to program and debug other PSoC 4BLE/PRoC BLE devices using serial wire debug (SWD), and as a USB-Serial bridge. The firmwareon PSoC 5LP device enables bootloading PSoC 5LP over USB to upgrade the firmware.

CY8CKIT-042-BLE Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) Pioneer Kit Guide, Doc. # 001-93731 Rev. *A 25Kit OperationFigure 3-2. BLE Module Block DiagramThis kit includes two modules boards. These boards act as a basic breakout board for theCY8C4247LQI-BL483 and CYBL10563-56LQXI BLE silicon. The PSoC 4 BLE and PRoC BLEModules are identical except for the silicon. In addition to including the PSoC 4 BLE and PRoC BLEdevices, the module boards also contain the BLE passives (resistors, capacitors, external crystals,and antenna-matching network), an onboard antenna, and headers for connecting to the baseboard.The BLE dongle is the host's wireless interface for the BLE device or project on the baseboard. Thedongle has a PRoC BLE device, to allow BLE connection with other kits. It also contains aPSoC 5LP, to be used as an onboard programmer or debugger, and for the USB-Serial interface, asshown in Figure 3-3.The dongle has a USB A-type plug to connect the PSoC 5LP to the USB port of the host PC. ThePSoC 5LP then communicates with the PRoC BLE device over UART or multiplexed I2C or an SPIbus. The board also features a user LED, a user switch, and a reset switch for the PRoC BLEdevice. The dongle is powered directly through the USB port (VBUS) at 5.0 V. The BLE dongle can also be used as a standalone programmer to program and debug other PSoCdevices (outside the dongle board) using SWD, and as a USB-Serial bridge after removing theresistor between the SWD pins of PSoC 5LP and PRoC BLE.
