Cypress PSoC Designer 5
Mixed-signal PSoC microcontroller from Cypress have been for quite a long time on market. Two main development environments for these chips were PSoC Designer – for assembly and C programming – and PSoC Express – the visual environment. With the newest PSoC Desiger 5 release the two design environments are available as one package with uniformed GUI.
The drawback of the previous releases of the tools was the lack of free C compiler. It has changed in the newest release, and the Hi-Tech C compiler is now available with the PSoC Designer 5. It has no limitations except reduced code optimisation. Full Hi-Tech Pro version of the compiler is available to use for 45 days free of charge.
