I am interested in converting a PSoC1 program to PSoC5.  What is the best method for doing this?  Do I need to start from scratch with the PSoC5 or is there a tool to aid in a conversion process?  Thanks.

Hi Tinadf,

There is no tool to directly convert a PSoC1 project created in PSoC Designer to a PSoC Creator project for PSoC 5.

You'll have to recreate the project using PSOC Creator.

Having said that, there is no need to press the panick button, as creating project using PSoC Creator is fairly simple and intuitive. There are "Components" in PSoC Creator analogous to the "User Modules" available in PSoC Designer.

If you have a schematic or block diagram of the project which has to be implemented in PSoC 5, you can do it comfortably using PSoC Creator.

Converting  PSoC1 code to PSoC5 code should be fairly simple. If the code is written in C, then you can copy the code directly in to PSoC Creator environment and carefully replace the APIs and user modules. The API used for PSoC1 now need to be replaced with APIs for PSoC Creator for each component. 

Thank you both for your input.  I do have the block diagram and am going to start making the move to PSoC5.  My biggest concern was that I would have to rewrite the code (which is in C) and that it would be difficult to find & configure equivalent compnents.  Again Thanks for the help.  It is much appreciated!!

Hi Tinadf,

You can refer to the component catalog in Creator project for all the components available. The components can be configured as it was in the PSoC Designer project.

Once you place all the required components, you must "Build" the project. This will generate all the required C and Header files for the components placed. Then you can easily place the .c code from Designer project to Creator project with relevant changes in the APIs.

Hi to all,

here i am attaching images of old components i.e designer 4.4, what are equiavalent blocks in Creator 2.0 for psoc 3 CY8CKIT-001 DVK Board.here i am implementing Pulse Oximeter.

Oximeter1.jpg & Oximeter2.jpg

     All blocks have basic equivalents in PSOC 3/5, buffer, timer, UART

Oximeter3.jpg

     PGA has equivalent, LPF in PSOC 3/5 becomes a digital filter, you would use DMA

     to feed it from ADC, then followed by DAC to come back to analog. ADC has delsig

     equivalent in 3/5. Same for Buffer component. SCBLK, there is a mixer block in 3/5.
