Frank:

For the low-speed parts:  A full version of the assembler and
compiler (by Bytecraft) is on the Cypress website and downloadable
for free.  Your local Cypress distributor will know what the emulator
costs; I don't.

For the full-speed parts:  An evaluation version (limited to 4K of
code) of the Keil compiler/assembler/simulator/debugger is on the
website; the full version can be purchased from Keil, at a proice
comparable to other microcontroller C compilers.  The EZ-USB family
development boards (with lots of RAM, pushbuttons, LEDs, serial
ports, etc.) cost $400 or so.

The full-speed parts all use 8051 CPUs, so if you don't like Keil,
any of the dozens of 8051 assemblers/compilers can be used (of
course, Cypress's Applications department doesn't have the resources
to support all those third-party 8051 tools).
