2. In the ModusToolbox IDE, click the **New Application** link in the Quick Panel (or, use **File > New > ModusToolbox IDE Application**).
3. Pick your board for BTSDK.
4. First select 'wiced\_btsdk'. This project contains the SDK. It is used by all BTSDK applications. You will need to create this project just once in the working directory (i.e. Eclipse workspace).<br/>
Note: Do not change the name of this project. All BTSDK apps use this project name in application makefiles.
5. After the 'wiced\_btsdk' project is created, click the **New Application** link again, and select the board and application you want to use.
6. Select the application in the IDE. In the Quick Panel, select **Build** to build the application.
7. To program the board (download the application), select **Program** in the Quick Panel.
**Using command line**
1. Install ModusToolbox 2.1
2. On Windows, use Cygwin from \ModusToolbox\tools_2.1\modus-shell\Cygwin.bat to build apps.
3. git clone 'wiced\_btsdk' repo first. As mentioned earlier, this project contains the SDK used by all apps. You will need to create this project just once in the working directory. For example:<br/>
> git clone https://github.com/cypresssemiconductorco/wiced_btsdk
4. git clone the BTSDK app repo [ mtb-examples-(board)-btsdk-(type) ]. The application repo directory should be at the same folder level as 'wiced_btsdk'. For example:<br/>
> git clone https://github.com/cypresssemiconductorco/mtb-examples-CYW920819EVB-02-btsdk-hid
5. The 'wiced\_btsdk' repo contains references to other repos. To download all the required collateral, cd to root folder and use 'make getlibs'. For example:<br/>
> cd wiced_btsdk<br/>
> make getlibs<br/>
6. To build the app call make build. For example:<br/>
> cd ../mtb-examples-CYW920819EVB-02-btsdk-hid<br/>
> cd hid/ble_mouse/<br/>
> make build<br/>
7. To program (download to) the board, call:<br/>
> make qprogram<br/>
8. To build and program (download to) the board, call:<br/>

## Application settings
Application settings below can configured via makefile of the application or passed in via command line. Options below are available for all applications. Other application specific options might also be available and are documented in the read_me.txt for those applications.
- BT\_DEVICE\_ADDRESS<br/>
- Set the BDA (Bluetooth Device Address) for your device. The BT address is 6 bytes, for example 20819A10FFEE. By default, the SDK will set a BDA for your device by combining the 7 hex digit device ID with the last 5 hex digits of the host PC MAC address.
- UART<br/>
- Set to the UART port you want the application to be downloaded. For example 'COM6' on Windows or '/dev/ttyWICED\_HCI\_UART0' on Linux or '/dev/tty.usbserial-000154' on macOS. By default, the SDK will auto detect the port.
- ENABLE_DEBUG<br/>
- For HW debugging, select the option '1'. See the document [WICED-Hardware-Debugging](https://github.com/cypresssemiconductorco/btsdk-docs/blob/master/docs/BT-SDK/WICED-Hardware-Debugging.pdf) for more information. This setting configures GPIO for SWD.
- CYW920819EVB-02/CYW920820EVB-02: SWD signals are shared with D4 and D5, see SW9 in schematics.
- CYBT-213043-MESH/CYBT-213043-EVAL: SWD signals are routed to P12=SWDCK and P13=SWDIO. Use expansion connectors to connect VDD, GND, SWDCK and SWDIO to your SWD Debugger probe.
- CYW989820EVB-01: SWDCK (P02) is routed to the J13 DEBUG connector, but not SWDIO. Add a wire from J10 pin 3 (PUART CTS) to J13 pin 2 to connect GPIO P10 to SWDIO.
- CYW920719B2Q40EVB-01: PUART RX/TX signals are shared with SWDCK and SWDIO. Remove RX and TX jumpers on J10 when using SWD. PUART and SWD cannot be used simultaneously on this board unless these pins are changed from the default configuration.
- CYW920721B2EVK-02: SWD hardware debugging supported. SWD signals are shared with D4 and D5, see SW9 in schematics.
- CYW920721B2EVK-03: SWD hardware debugging is not supported.
- CYW920706WCDEVAL: SWD debugging requires fly-wire connections. The default setup uses P15 (J22 pin 3) for SWDIO and P30 (J19 pin 2) for SWDCK. P30 is shared with BTN1.
- CYW920735Q60EVB-01: SWD hardware debugging supported. The default setup uses the J13 debug header, P3 (J13 pin 2) for SWDIO and P2 (J13 pin 4) for SWDCK. They can be optionally routed to D4 and D4 on the Arduino header J4, see SW9 in schematics.
- CYW920835REF-RCU-01: SWD hardware debugging is not supported.
- CYW9M2BASE-43012BT: SWD hardware debugging is not supported.
## Downloading an application to a board
If you have issues downloading to the board, follow the steps below:
- Press and hold the 'Recover' button on the board.
- Press and hold the 'Reset' button on the board.
- Release the 'Reset' button.
- After one second, release the 'Recover' button.
Note, this is only applicable to boards that download application images to FLASH storage. Boards that only support RAM download (DIRECT_LOAD) such as CYW9M2BASE-43012BT can be power cycled to boot from ROM.
## Using BSP (platforms)
All BSPs supported by BTSDK can be found in the \wiced_btsdk\dev-kit\bsp\ folder.
#### a. Selecting an alternative BSP
The application makefile has a default BSP. See "TARGET". The makefile also has a list of other BSPs supported by the application. See "SUPPORTED_TARGETS". To select an alternative BSP, set TARGET as one of the supported BSPs.
#### b. Custom BSP
**Complete BSP**
To create and use a complete custom BSP that you want to use in applications, perform the following steps:
1. Select an existing BSP you wish to use as a template from the list of supported BSPs in the \wiced\_btsdk\dev-kit\bsp\ folder.
2. Make a copy in the same folder and rename it. For example \wiced\_btsdk\dev-kit\bsp\TARGET\_mybsp.<br/>
**Note:** This can be done in the system File Explorer and then refresh the workspace in Eclipse to see the new project. Delete the .git subfolder from the newly copied folder before refreshing in Eclipse.
If done in the IDE, an error dialog may appear complaining about items in the .git folder being out of sync. This can be resolved by deleting the .git subfolder in the newly copied folder.
3. In the new \wiced\_btsdk\dev-kit\bsp\TARGET\_mybsp folder, rename the existing/original (BSP).mk file to mybsp.mk.
4. In the application makefile, set TARGET=mybsp and add it to SUPPORTED\_TARGETS as well as TARGET\_DEVICE\_MAP. For example: mybsp/20819A1
5. Update design.modus for your custom BSP if needed using the **Device Configurator** link under **Configurators** in the Quick Panel.
6. Update the application makefile as needed for other custom BSP specific attributes and build the application.
**Custom Pin Config Only - Multiple Apps**
To create a custom pin configuration to be used by multiple applications using an existing BSP that supports Device Configurator, perform the following steps:
1. Create a folder COMPONENT\_(CUSTOM)\_design\_modus in the existing BSP folder. For example \wiced\_btsdk\dev-kit\bsp\TARGET\_CYW920819EVB-02\COMPONENT\_my\_design\_modus
2. Copy the file design.modus from the reference BSP COMPONENT\_bsp\_design\_modus folder under \wiced\_btsdk\dev-kit\bsp\ and place the file in the newly created COMPONENT\_(CUSTOM)\_design\_modus folder.
3. In the application makefile, add the following two lines<br/>
DISABLE\_COMPONENTS+=bsp\_design\_modus<br/>
COMPONENTS+=(CUSTOM)\_design\_modus<br/>
(for example COMPONENTS+=my\_design\_modus)
4. Update design.modus for your custom pin config if needed using the **Device Configurator** link under **Configurators** in the Quick Panel.
5. Building of the application will generate pin configuration source code under a GeneratedSource folder in the new COMPONENT\_(CUSTOM)\_design\_modus folder.
**Custom Pin Config Only - Per App**
To create a custom configuration to be used by a single application from an existing BSP that supports Device Configurator, perform the following steps:
1. Create a folder COMPONENT\_(BSP)\_design\_modus in your application. For example COMPONENT\_CYW920721B2EVK-03\_design\_modus
2. Copy the file design.modus from the reference BSP under \wiced\_btsdk\dev-kit\bsp\ and place the file in this folder.
3. In the application makefile, add the following two lines<br/>
DISABLE\_COMPONENTS+=bsp\_design\_modus<br/>
COMPONENTS+=(BSP)\_design\_modus<br/>
(for example COMPONENTS+=CYW920721B2EVK-03\_design\_modus)
4. Update design.modus for your custom pin config if needed using the **Device Configurator** link under **Configurators** in the Quick Panel.
5. Building of the application will generate pin configuration source code under GeneratedSource folder in your application.
## Using libraries
All supported libraries (middleware) can be found in the \wiced_btsdk\dev-kit\libraries folder. To use a library in your application, do the following changes to the makefile in your application:
1. Update the makefile variable "COMPONENTS" to include the library. For example:<br/>
COMPONENTS += fw\_upgrade\_lib
2. Update the makefile variable "SEARCH\_LIBS\_AND\_INCLUDES" to point to the location of the library. For example:<br/>
SEARCH\_LIBS\_AND\_INCLUDES+=$(CY\_SHARED\_PATH)/dev-kit/libraries/btsdk-ota
