Safety Information
The CY8CKIT-044 PSoC® 4 M-Series Pioneer Kit is intended for use as a development platform for hardware or software in
a laboratory environment. The board is an open system design, which does not include a shielded enclosure. For this reason,
the board may cause interference with other electrical or electronic devices in close proximity. In a domestic environment,
this product may cause radio interference. In such cases, the user may be required to take adequate preventive measures.
Also, this board should not be used near any medical equipment or RF devices.
Attaching additional wiring to this product or modifying the product operation from the factory default may affect its
performance and cause interference with other apparatus in the immediate vicinity. If such interference is detected, suitable
mitigating measures should be taken.
The CY8CKIT-044 as shipped from the factory has been verified to meet with the requirements of CE as a Class A product.
The CY8CKIT-044 board contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive devices.
Electrostatic charges readily accumulate on the human body and any equipment which can
cause a discharge without detection. Permanent damage may occur to devices subjected to
high-energy discharges. Proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality. Store unused CY8CKIT-044 boards in the protective
shipping package.
End-of-Life/Product Recycling
The end-of-life cycle for this kit is five years from the date of manufacture mentioned on the
back of the box. Contact the nearest recycler to discard the kit.
General Safety Instructions
ESD Protection
ESD can damage boards and associated components. Cypress recommends that the user perform procedures only at an
ESD workstation. If an ESD workstation is not available, use appropriate ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap
attached to a grounded metal object.
Handling Boards
CY8CKIT-044 board is sensitive to ESD. Hold the board only by its edges. After removing the board from its box, place it on
a grounded, static-free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if available. Do not slide the board over any surface.

1. Introduction
Thank you for your interest in the CY8CKIT-044 PSoC® 4 M-Series Pioneer Kit. The PSoC 4 M-Series Pioneer Kit enables
customers to evaluate and develop projects using the PSoC 4200M device family.
PSoC 4200M device family is an expansion to the PSoC 4 device family that offers more flash, GPIOs, and programmable
analog and digital blocks. PSoC 4200M device is a true programmable embedded system-on chip, integrating custom analog
and digital peripheral functions, memory, and an Arm® Cortex®-M0 microcontroller on a single chip. The programmable analog
and digital peripheral functions allow higher flexibility, in-field tuning of the design, and faster time-to-market.
The PSoC 4 M-Series Pioneer Kit offers footprint-compatibility with Arduino™ Shields, 6-pin Digilent® Pmod™ Peripheral
Modules, and Raspberry Pi boards. This kit features two CapSense® Proximity headers, a CapSense Gesture Pad, an
ambient light sensor, a 3-Axis accelerometer, a PWM temperature sensor, an RGB LED, a push button switch, an onboard
programmer/debugger and USB-UART/I2C bridge functionality block (KitProg), and a Cypress F-RAM™. This kit supports
operating voltages of 3.3 V or 5 V.
You will use PSoC Creator™ to develop and debug your PSoC 4200M device projects. PSoC Creator is Cypress’ standard
integrated design environment (IDE). If you are new to PSoC Creator, see the documentation on the PSoC Creator home
page. You can also refer the application note AN79953 – Getting Started with PSoC 4, which gives an introduction to the
PSoC 4 device.

2. Installation
This chapter describes the steps to install the software tools and packages on a PC for using the CY8CKIT-044 PSoC 4 MSeries Pioneer Kit. This includes the IDE on which the projects will be built and used for programming.
2.1 Before You Begin
To install Cypress software, you will require administrator privileges. However, they are not required to run the software that
is already installed. Before you install the kit software, close any other Cypress software that is currently running.
2.2 Install Software
Follow these steps to install the CY8CKIT-044 PSoC 4 M-Series Pioneer Kit software:
1. Download the PSoC 4 M-Series Pioneer Kit software from www.cypress.com/CY8CKIT-044. The kit software is available
in three different formats for download.
a. CY8CKIT-044 Kit Complete Setup: This installation package contains the files related to the kit. However, it does
not include the Windows Installer or Microsoft .NET framework packages. If these packages are not on your
computer, the installer directs you to download and install them from the Internet.
b. CY8CKIT-044 Kit Only: This executable file installs only the kit contents, which include kit code examples, hardware
files, and user documents. This package can be used if all the software prerequisites (listed in step 5) are installed
on your PC.
c. CY8CKIT-044 DVD ISO: This file is a complete package, stored in a DVD-ROM image format, which you can use
to create a DVD or extract using an ISO extraction program such as WinZip® or WinRAR. The file can also be
mounted like a virtual CD/DVD using virtual drive programs such as Virtual CloneDrive and MagicISO. This file
includes all the required software, utilities, drivers, hardware files, and user documents.
2. If you have downloaded the ISO file, mount it in a virtual drive. Extract the ISO contents if you do not have a virtual drive
to mount. Double-click cyautorun.exe in the root directory of the extracted content or the mounted ISO if “Autorun from
CD/DVD” is not enabled on the PC. The installation window will appear automatically.
Note: If you are using the “Kit Complete Setup” or “Kit Only” file, then go to step 4 for installation.
3. Click Install CY8CKIT-044 to start the kit installation, as shown in Figure 2-1.

Next.
8. When the installation begins, a list of packages appears on the installation page. A green check mark appears next to
each package after successful installation.
9. Enter your contact information or select the check box Continue Without Contact Information. Click Finish to complete
the CY8CKIT-044 kit software installation.
10. After the installation is complete, the kit contents are available at the following location:
<Install_Directory>\CY8CKIT-044 PSoC 4 M-Series Pioneer Kit
Default location:
Windows 7 (64-bit): C:\Program Files (x86)\Cypress\CY8CKIT-044 PSoC 4 M-Series Pioneer Kit
Windows 7 (32-bit): C:\Program Files\Cypress\CY8CKIT-044 PSoC 4 M-Series Pioneer Kit
