My Cypress updater installed a new component pack this morning. There are four new components available:
- EEPROM emulation (in flash)
- LED segment driver (7-segment, 16-segment, LED matrix)
- Softzware UART (TX only)
- SC/CT comparator

Makes me wonder if updates are done on different days for different regions.
Mine updated several days ago.

Oh this is good....I just updated my component pack and found the "Software_TX-Uart" component...
I've always felt that there isn't much variability in the UART component as far as the APIs are concerned.
For instance, for the LCD, there are APIs for sending data in byte, hex or ascii form....but not much in UART.
But this new SW_TX_UART component even allows you to send a 16 bit data........Kudos!!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, there is something I'd like to know.........Software-Transmit UART.........does it mean that there wont be any need to externally connect the UART TX pin [on the kit] to the GPIO pin that we select in our code???
Regards.

@dana: Don't know how this is handled. I didn't check my PC over the weekend, just saw it this morning. But I think the updater is configured to check only once a week.
I just did post this because I haven't seen any anouncement on the Cypress website as of now...

@Goose: read the data sheet. The component allows you to either get a pin on the component, which you can route. Or you are able to set the pin in the design wide resources. So it should be possible to route it to the RS232 level shifter on the dev kits.

Too fast with the keyboard today 😞
In fact you won't get a pin on the component, but in that case you need to set the pin via the API.
