Hi,
If you can get a USB-Serial converter something like below
http://akizukidenshi.com/catalog/g/gM-08461/
The connection would be like below.
Note: I usually use P12[6] for UART_RX and P12[7] for UART_TX but you can chose whatever pins as far as the system allows.
Meantime, please note that converter's rx must be connected to PSoC's UART_TX
and converter's tx must be connected to PSoC's UART_RX
And last but not least, please connect both grounds.
Usually recent USB-Serial converter does not require additional driver, but please check with the device you get.

Hi,
(1) Connection
Use ”Communication USB" terminal to connect to the PC.
Cable between PC and CY8CKIT-050;
CY8CKIT-050 : USB Mini B
PC : Type-A
(2) Driver
You need to install the device driver first.
Open the device manager.
The driver will be generated in the project folder.
xxxx\Generated_Source\PSoC5\USBUART_cdc.inf (* "xxxx" is project name)
If the driver is installed normally,
Cypress USB UART (COM xx) is displayed.
Of course,
Create a USB-UART project with PSoC 5LP,
Assigned to the USB dedicated terminal,
You need to build normally.
Regards,

Hi Mami,
See this below image UART connection.
As you told the structure is [PC] - [USB Cable] - [USB-UART bridge] - [wire] - [PSoC5LP UART port]
1.How can i setup [USB-UART bridge] or this is preconfigured?
2. When i install driver(CypressDriverInstaller.exe) its showing un-configured.
That video is the CY8CKIT-042 PSoC4 Pioneer Kit.
The structure is as follows.
[PC] - [USB Cable] - [KitProg = PSoC5LP = USB-UART bridge] - [wire] - [PSoC4 UART Component]
However, CY8CKIT-050 PSoC5LP DVK does not have KitProg.
CY7C68013A-56LTXC (FX2LP) is used instead of KitProg (PSoC5LP).
DVKProg5(=CY7C68013A-56LTXC) is different than KitProg.
CY7C68013A-56LTXC does not have the function of USB-UART Bridge.
In other words, in order to control the UART data of PSoC5LP mounted in CY8CKIT-050 by PC, USB-UART Bridge is required separately from CY8CKIT-050.
KitProg with the function of USB-UART bridge is mounted on CY8CKIT-042,CY8CKIT-059 and so on, which are also used in video.
KitProg of CY8CKIT-059 can be used by separating the board.
The details of KitProg are as follows.
KitProg URL

Or you can handle USB-UART bridge with 6x2 header of MiniProg4.(MiniProg3 does not support UART.)

In summary, I think the connection looks like the image below.
For power supply to CY8CKIT-050, connect a USB cable if it operates with USB bus power.
The UART port used by PSoC5LP of CY8CKIT-050 is arbitrary.

CY8CKIT-050 does not have USB-UART bridge function.
It is not mounted as hardware.
As you can see by checking the circuit diagram of CY8CKIT-050,
Connected to the USB connector are PSoC5LP and FX2LP(CY7C68013A-56LTXC).
This is because the USB connector connected to PSoC5LP uses the USB component built into PSOC5LP.
The USB connector connected to FX2LP is for program/Debug PSoC5LP with SWD.
You can see from the FX2LP circuit diagram that there is no pin to connect UART data.
This FX2LP and KitProg are different.
The CY8CKIT-042 in the video you saw has KitProg instead of FX2LP, so you can do USB-UART conversion with KitProg.
KitProg User Guide

PSoC5LP in the table means KitProg.
It is used as a USB UART Bridge using the USB CDC component built into PSoC5LP.
This means that to see the PSoC5LP UART data of CY8CKIT-050 on the PC's USB port, you must use an external USB-UART bridge or use the USB CDC component (Convert UART signal to USB inside PSoC5LP) built into the PSoC5LP.
