3. Kit Operation
This chapter introduces you to the different features of the PSoC 5LP Prototyping Kit. This primarily
includes the programming/debugging functionality, KitProg USB-UART and USB-I2C bridges, and
the method to update the KitProg firmware.
3.1 Theory of Operation
Figure 3-1 shows the block diagram for the PSoC 5LP Prototyping Kit.

The PSoC 5LP Prototyping Kit is simplistic in design and focuses on providing you with complete
access to develop applications using the PSoC 5LP device family. This kit supports the following
features:
■ KitProg: It is an onboard programmer/debugger, which enables programming and debugging the
target PSoC 5LP device. It can also act as a USB-UART and UART-I2C bridge.
When used as a standalone module, it can be used to program devices of the PSoC 3, PSoC 4,
or PSoC 5LP families through the SWD interface. For more details on the KitProg functionality,
refer to the KitProg User Guide in the kit installation directory:
<Install_Directory>\CY8CKIT-
059\<version>\Documentation\KitProg_User_Guide.pdf
■ Expansion Headers: The PSoC 5LP Prototyping Kit brings all I/Os of the device to the two
expansion headers, allowing you to have maximum access to the capabilities of the PSoC 5LP
device.
■ Micro-USB Connector: The onboard micro-USB connector provides access to the USB block of
the PSoC 5LP device. This connector enables you to develop USB applications.
■ User LED: The onboard LED can be used to display outputs from the PSoC 5LP device. This
includes modulating the brightness of the LED to notify different states of the device.
