Release Notes
CY3250 QFN POD Kits
Release Date: December 11, 2009
Thank you for your interest in this CY3250 QFN Emulation POD Kit. This document lists known
issues with this family of kits.
Kit Overview
Emulation PODs are designed to connect to the In-Circuit Emulator (CY3215-DK) to allow
debugging capability. They can also function as a standalone device without debugging
capability. The Emulation POD has a unique interface on the bottom side for connecting with
specially designed "feet" boards. The feet can be soldered to the target board in place of the
device being emulated.
Known Issues and Workarounds
The following table captures the known issues with the CY3250 QFN style emulation POD kits.
