AN91162 Datasheet, PDF (2/43 Pages) Ramtron International Corporation – Creating a BLE Custom Profile

This application note assumes that you have a basic
understanding of the BLE architecture and terms.
 If you are new to either BLE or PSoC, refer to the
application note AN91267 - Getting Started with
PSoC 4 BLE.
 For an understanding of the structure of the BLE
Component in the PSoC Creator environment, and to
learn how to develop applications based on standard
BLE services, refer to the application note AN91184 -
PSoC 4 BLE Designing BLE Applications.
 For complete details on the BLE specification, visit the
BLE Developer Portal.
Install the latest BLE Pioneer Kit software from the kit
webpage, which provides related tools for BLE application
development and debugging. CY8CKIT-042 BLE or BLE
Pioneer Kit is a BLE development kit from Cypress that
supports both PSoC 4 BLE and PRoC BLE family of
devices. This kit comprises pluggable PSoC 4 BLE (and
PRoC BLE) modules that connect to a pioneer baseboard.
This kit will be used for demonstrating the example project
provided with this application note. The kit comprises a set
of BLE example projects and documentation that help you
get started with developing your own BLE applications.
PSoC Resources
Cypress provides a wealth of data at www.cypress.com to
help you to select the right PSoC device and quickly and
effectively integrate it into your design. For a
comprehensive list of resources, see KBA86521, How to
Design with PSoC 3, PSoC 4, and PSoC 5LP.
Following is an abbreviated list for PSoC 4 BLE:
 Overview: PSoC Portfolio, PSoC Roadmap
 Product Selectors: PSoC 1, PSoC 3, PSoC 4, or
PSoC 5LP. In addition, PSoC Creator includes a
device selection tool.
 Datasheets: Describe and provide electrical
specifications for the PSoC 41XX-BL and PSoC 42XX-
BL device families.
Creating a BLE Custom Profile
 Application Notes and Code Examples: Cover a
broad range of topics, from basic to advanced level.
Many of the application notes include code examples.
PSoC Creator provides additional code examples—see
Code Examples.
 Technical Reference Manuals (TRMs): Provide
detailed descriptions of the architecture and registers
in each PSoC 4 BLE device family.
 CapSense Design Guide: Learn how to design
capacitive touch-sensing applications with the PSoC 4
BLE family of devices.
 Development Tools
 CY8CKIT-042-BLE Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
Pioneer Kit is an easy-to-use and inexpensive
development platform for BLE. This kit includes
connectors for Arduino™ compatible shields and
Digilent® Pmod™ daughter cards.
 CySmart BLE Host Emulation Tool for Windows,
iOS, and Android is an easy-to-use GUI that
enables you to test and debug your BLE Peripheral
applications.
