description: Cypress Semiconductor was a US-based semiconductor company known for its PSoC programmable system-on-chip microcontrollers,
  WICED Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity stacks, NOR Flash memory, CapSense capacitive touch sensing, and Traveo automotive
  microcontrollers. Infineon Technologies completed its $9.4 billion acquisition of Cypress on April 16, 2020, and Cypress
  now operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Infineon. The former Cypress product lines (PSoC, AIROC formerly WICED, NOR
  Flash, CapSense, Traveo) remain in active development under Infineon branding, and the cypress.com domain redirects to infineon.com.
  The former Cypress developer surface — including PSoC Creator (legacy) and the modern ModusToolbox embedded development
  ecosystem — is now hosted on the Infineon GitHub organization (github.com/Infineon) which contains 2,143 public repositories
  spanning code examples, board support packages, HAL libraries, middleware, and configurators for PSoC, AIROC, Traveo, XMC,
  and AURIX device families. The original Cypress GitHub organization (github.com/cypresssemiconductorco) has been wound down
  to four placeholder repos that redirect users to the Infineon org. Cypress' APIs are predominantly embedded software APIs
  (C/C++ HAL, PDL, middleware libraries) rather than HTTP/REST surfaces, consumed by firmware engineers via ModusToolbox,
  Eclipse, and Visual Studio Code workflows.

  name: ModusToolbox Software Ecosystem
  description: ModusToolbox is Infineon's modern embedded development ecosystem and the successor to Cypress' PSoC Creator.
    It is a collection of GUI and non-GUI tools, libraries, configurators, board support packages (BSPs), and middleware for
    building applications on PSoC Arm Cortex microcontrollers (inherited from Cypress), AIROC Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices
    (formerly Cypress WICED), TRAVEO T2G automotive microcontrollers (inherited from Cypress), XMC industrial microcontrollers,
    and USB-C Power Delivery microcontrollers. ModusToolbox runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, supports VS Code, Eclipse,
    and IAR IDEs, and ships with the GNU C compiler. The most recent stable release line as of 2026 is ModusToolbox v3.x (v3.7
    reference in the Infineon developer community).

  description: The PSoC Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) and Peripheral Driver Library (PDL) are the C-language embedded APIs
    developers use to program Cypress-originated PSoC 4, PSoC 6, and PSoC Edge microcontrollers. The mtb-hal-cat1 and mtb-pdl-cat1
    libraries — distributed as ModusToolbox components — provide register-level and abstracted drivers for GPIO, SCB, TCPWM,
    Crypto, USB, and other PSoC peripherals. These libraries are the modern Infineon-branded replacement for the legacy Cypress
    PSoC Creator component library.

    use the btsdk-* and AIROC libraries via ModusToolbox to build BLE peripherals, central applications, mesh networks, and
    Bluetooth audio products. WICED Studio has been deprecated in favor of ModusToolbox-based AIROC flows.

    and connectivity middleware that drives CYW43xxx and CYW55xxx Wi-Fi chipsets originally designed by Cypress (and prior
    to that, Broadcom). It is delivered as ModusToolbox middleware libraries (wifi-host-driver, wifi-connection-manager, wifi-mw-core)
    and supports station mode, AP mode, WPA3, and cloud-connected IoT applications on PSoC 6 and PSoC Edge hosts.

    Infineon. Developers program TRAVEO T2G via ModusToolbox using a dedicated PDL, HAL, and BSP set (mtb-pdl-cat1, mtb-hal-cat1
    variants and the cat1c CMSIS device support) for body, cluster, and gateway ECU applications. AURIX Development Studio
    remains the path for Infineon's TriCore AURIX automotive MCUs, while TRAVEO T2G stays on ModusToolbox.
