I did some work with PSoC a few years ago and wasn't able to find any 
Linux drivers for their USB programming dongle. Since their development 
IDE is Win-only I didn't see much point in pursuing it further. I 
believe that their MCU is based on an 8-bit Renesas architecture so 
there may be a GCC-based toolchain available, but you'll have a tough 
time finding any open-source software for setting up the analog and 
digital arrays. Plus, you'd be giving up all the firmware interface 
routines that their IDE automatically links in when you use the Cypress 
tools & libraries.
