12. Development Tool Selection
12.1 Software
12.1.1 PSoC Designer
™
At the core of the PSoC development software suite is PSoC
Designer. Used by thousands of PSoC developers, this robust
software has been facilitating PSoC designs for half a decade.
PSoC Designer is available free of charge at
http://www.cypress.com under DESIGN RESOURCES >>
Software and Drivers.
12.1.2 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 or PSoC Express. 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/psocpro-
grammer.
12.1.3 C Compilers
PSoC Designer comes with a free HI-TECH C Lite C compiler.
The HI-TECH C Lite compiler is free, supports all PSoC devices,
integrates fully with PSoC Designer and PSoC Express, and
runs on Windows versions up to 32-bit Vista. Compilers with
additional features are available at additional cost from their
manufactures.
■ HI-TECH C PRO for the PSoC is available from
http://www.htsoft.com.
