Release Date: March 12, 2014

Thank you for your interest in the CY3280-MBR3 Evaluation Kit (EVK). This document lists the

Code Examples and Kit Collateral

All configuration examples released with the CY3280-MBR3 EVK use the Cypress EZ-Click™ 2.0
customizer tool. The EZ-Click customizer tool is available with the kit installer, or on the EZ-Click
Customizer web page (http://www.cypress.com/go/ez-click). EZ-Click also installs the PSoC®
Programmer software, which is required for detecting and configuring the kit using the EZ-Click
customizer tool.

The kit is shipped with example projects that demonstrate how to configure the kit using an
external I2C host, such as the CY8CKIT-042 PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit. These example projects require
PSoC Creator™ (not installed with the kit). You can download and install the software from

http://www.cypress.com/go/psoccreator.

The CY3280-MBR3 Evaluation Kit web page (http://www.cypress.com/go/cy3280-mbr3) includes
the kit installation packages, CD image (ISO), and setup files (EXE) to install all the code
examples and configuration files shipped with this kit. See the kit user guide included in the kit
installer, or the kit web page for more details on the hardware and examples.
