PSoC Creator is a state-of-the-art software development IDE combined with a revolutionary graphical design editor to form a uniquely powerful hardware/software co-design environment.

PSoC Creator offers a unique combination of hardware configuration and software development in a single, unified tool. This co-design approach is revolutionary. It frees embedded designers from the innovation-killing division between hardware design and software development. Gone is the time-consuming, inflexible dogma of hardware re-spins and software hacks.

The current version of PSoC Creator is 1.0 Beta 4 - but don't let the beta status scare you. We've been making successful designs internally and working with alpha and beta testers to make sure this product is ready for you to try right now. We're just still adding great new tool features and even more components, so we're not ready to call our job "done".
