Hello, 

   

When I connect my CY3240 SUBIIC bridge, the bridge control panel software (v1.4.0.1126) it shows following message for firmware upgrade

   

"Opening Port CY3240 Bridge's firmware is out of date. Please, read Release Notes for updating instructions.Successfully Connected to Bridge/0000011USB2IIC Bridge version 1.22"

   

I would like to know, "How to upgrade CY3240 bridge's firmware"?

   

I couldn't locate any information on Cypress web site.

   

Any help will be appreciated.

   

Regards,

   

Vinay

 You will need to use the ISSP connector with a miniprog1 or miniprog3 or the CY3207 ISSP Programmer.

 I forgot to mention that the firmware(hex file) for the Bridge is located in the installation directory.

Here is the path you should use (adapt the 1.0 to your version number):

   

 C:\Program Files (x86)\Cypress\CY3240 USB-I2C Bridge Kit\1.0\Firmware\USBtoIIC\USBtoIIC\USBtoIIC\output\USBtoIIC.hex

 The filename is "usbtoiic.hex" and should be under "C:\Program Files\Cypress\Programmer\3.1_\"

   

 

   

You should connect a MiniProg1/3 to the ISSP jumper (J2) on the CY3240 kit and program the above hex file using Programmer software.
