Programming PSoC using Programmer on Windows 8 - KBA85688

   

Question: How to install PSoC Programmer and drivers on Windows 8?

   

Answer:

   

 

   

Kindly follow this procedure to program your PSoC device with Windows 8 OS:-

   

1)      Upgrade your Programmer to 3.17 from the link “http://www.cypress.com/?rID=38050&source=header”.

   

2)      This step is based on the type of OS:-

   

a.      If your Windows is 32 bit then download “drivers_32bit.zip” fille in your computer. Unzip this file and copy folder “drivers” at location “C:\Program Files\Cypress\Programmer\3.17\”.

   

b.      If your Windows is 64 bit then download “drivers_64bit.zip” fille in your computer. Unzip this file and copy folder “drivers” at location “C:\Program Files (x86)\Cypress\Programmer\3.17\”.

   

3)      Go inside the folder “drivers” which you have copied and run the “driver.bat” file.

   

4)      Plug-in MiniProg3 in the USB port of the PC, you should be able to see it in device manager.

   

5)      And you will be able to program you devices now.

Hello,

   

So after installing prgrammer 3.22.0 on a 64bit Windows 8 machine, there is no programmer.exe file generated.  The link on the startpage points to a file that is not there.  Have tried repairing, removing, and reinstalling several times, with no luck.

   

Have tried updating drivers as well but that doesn't work either. 

   

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

   

 

   

Thank you,

   

Pete

If it did not show up in -

   

 

   

    

   

          

   

C:\Program Files (x86)\Cypress\Programmer\PSoCProgrammer.exe

   

   

 

   

I would file a CASE -

   

 

   

    

   

          

   

To create a technical or issue case at Cypress -

   

 

   

www.cypress.com

   

“Support”

   

“Technical Support”

   

“Create a Case”

   

 

   

You have to be registered on Cypress web site first.

   

 

   

Regards, Dana.
