theaaronm,

As Aashita mentioned, it should be possible.

Infineon sells another eval board call the CY8CKIT-062-BLE.  It comes with the eInk Display CY8CKIT-028-EPD.

In theory, you can hook the eInk board on to the 063-BLE board with the same GPIO connections as the 062-BLE board and run the same projects.  (Note:  You will have to change the Device to match the one being used on the 063-BLE board.)

Hi @theaaronm ,

CY8CPROTO-063-BLE comes up with CYBLE-416045-02 EZ-BLE™ Creator Module, where the support to drive LCD can be found. But to examine that is CY8CPROTO-063-BLE compatible with elink Display CY8CKIT-028-EPD, can you please try following  our existing PSoC Creator code example  CE223727 : PSoC 6 E-INK Display Inteface with EmWin Graphics Library. Please follow the below steps to test out -

  1.  Open PSoC Creator -> File -> Code Examples.
  2.  Import  CE223727 code example.
  3. Right Click on the project and go to device selector.
  4. Change the device to CYBLE-416045-02-BLE device.
  5. Build the project and check for the LCD pins details in cyfitter.h file.

Please follow above steps and let us know in case of any further query.

Best Regards,

Aashita

Yes.  The e-ink display will work fine with any of the P6s (or for that matter the P4s).  It is just a spi with a few GPIOs.

Even better they recently released all of the driver support for sagger edwin  in a library so it is easy to do .  

When I first did it, I things took a bit more work...
