PSoC BLE bootloader

[Anonymous]

Dear all, I attended the PSoC 4 BLE semilar a couple of month ago, and now trying to ramp up on the PSoC BLE technology.  I am familiar with Xilinx Zynq (ARM Cortex A9) and TI Tiva (ARM Cortex M4), and could not understand PSoC bootloading until I found bootloader host documentation.  These days, the interface to a host tends to be either USB or Bluetooth, so I am looking for BLE bootloader.  Is there any app note on how to do this on PSoC 4 BLE (I have the CY8CKIT-042-BLE)?

   

Thank you for reading.

Henry,

   

We don't have an app note on BLE bootloading yet, but it will be out soon. Please look out for update on www.cypress.com.

   

Meanwhile, PSoC Creator based BLE component has some associated example projects on BLE OTA bootloading. In case you haven't tried them out, you can access those project by dragging and dropping a BLE component on PSoC Creator Top Design, right-click on the component and select Find Example Projects... The projects have associated documents that help you to understand the architecture and setup the project.
