De-emphasis of System Level Design (Express)

Beginning with PSoC Designer 5.0, service pack 6, we are de-emphasizing System-Level Design (PSoC Express) . This will not affect CapSense® Express™ users. With the next major release of PSoC Designer (PSoC Designer 5.1), System Level Design will be completely removed. While no functionality has been removed from this release, we recommend using Chip-Level Design (PSoC Designer style). We will continue to make service pack 6 available for System Level Design users, and it will co-exist with future PSoC Designer releases. However, we are not recommending System Level Design for production designs (except for CapSense Express). There will be continued support for CapSense Express in a service pack of PSoC Designer 5.1. When further information is available, it will be posted here.

Note: PSoC Designer 5.0 SP6 is not compatible with the internet browser, Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 beta (any beta version). It is compatible with the released version (IE8) and previous versions.

Note: For Service Pack 6, PSoC Programmer must be installed first. This is a change from previous service pack installation requirements.

To Install: Shut down any currently running instances of PSoC Designer.

If PSoC Designer 5.0 is currently installed, uninstall it. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double click Add or Remove Programs.
