PSOC E8XXGP Device Support Library
PDL API Reference

General Description

Overview

MTB PSOC EDGE PDL provides low level device drivers for PSOC EDGE devices. The PDL integrates device header files, and peripheral drivers into a single package. The drivers abstract the hardware functions into a set of easy-to-use APIs. These are fully documented in the PDL API Reference.

The PDL reduces the need to understand register usage and bit structures, thus easing software development for the extensive set of peripherals. You configure the driver for your application, and then use API calls to initialize and use the peripheral. This documentation provides technical information on each supported peripheral driver, including:

The PDL conforms to the ANSI C99 standard.

ModusToolbox™ Libraries

ModusToolbox™ software is a modern, extensible development environment supporting a wide range of Infineon microcontroller devices. It provides a flexible set of tools and a diverse, high-quality collection of application-focused software. These include configuration tools, low-level drivers, libraries, and operating system support. There are many parts of ModusToolbox™ software that are provided as libraries. The PSOC EDGE PDL is one of those libraries. The other libraries that are closely related to it are CMSIS and HAL.

CMSIS

The CMSIS is a hardware abstraction layer developed by Arm that help to simplify software reuse, reduce the learning curve, development costs, and time-to-market for microcontroller developers. The PSOC EDGE PDL supports following components of CMSIS :

Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL)

HAL package provides a set of APIs to initialize, configure, and use the PSOC EDGE MCU resources.

Refer to the ModusToolbox™ run-time software reference guide for more details about how these libraries are used in the ModusToolbox™ ecosystem.
