The FX3 is among the flagship products for Cypress. However, so far I have only found a single development for it which is a very basic board, surprisingly basic. It appears  like Cypress is treating their flagship product like its not important by not producing a complex board that can be used to demonstrate its features fully, and also stopping production on the CYUSB3KIT-001 which appears to be more complex than the very humble FX3 Superspeed Explorer Kit.

I am curious to know why the CYUSB3KIT-001 is no longer manufactured.

Hi,

The kit CYUSB3KIT-001 is obsolete but the hardware files are still retained in the below webpage so that it can be used for designing custom boards.
