1. Re: I can't program my psoc anymore (it doesn't enter in program mode)
user_453804851 Aug 31, 2017 12:28 PM (in response to alessandro.grigoletti_2706241)1 of 1 people found this helpfulIt sounds like the final project you did, didn't include the bootloader component. This can happen. to recover you are going to need either a MiniProg3 or a Kitprog from another kit. I don't know part numbers, but the PSoC 5 stick like yours include a KitProg as the breakaway portion. (Your kit has a USB to Serial interface....)
I find it very handy having a couple of the KitProgs around. (One for office and another for home...) The PSoC5 kits are very cheap. Search for the CY8CKIT-059 and you will find it. There is also the CY8CKIT-043 which has a PSoC 4M on it. Since you are already looking at the at the 4200 series, the 4M is an upgrade. Both of the kits I referenced have the KitProg on them as a snapaway device and cost around $10 in the USA.
Good Luck!

alessandro.grigoletti_2706241 Sep 1, 2017 9:13 AM (in response to user_453804851)I've included the bootloader component in last project, because it was only a blinking led to show for a friend and it works as usual.
It's a strange problem. Could it screw up for itself?

user_453804851 Sep 5, 2017 7:48 AM (in response to alessandro.grigoletti_2706241)1 of 1 people found this helpfulI don't think so. But either way, using a KitProg to reprogram the device is the way to go. If you later decide to create your own PCB with a PSoC on it, you will need on then anyhow. I figured it was the best $10 I ever spent, until I tried to use an 8 pin device. Then I needed a real MiniProg3 to program it. (The 8 pin devices don't have a reset pin, and require a different method to program them...)
If you are near Michigan I could help you out with programming it.

alessandro.grigoletti_2706241 Sep 6, 2017 6:49 AM (in response to user_453804851)Well, I think so I'll try buy a KitProg to reprogram the device.
I'm from Brazil, so unfortunately you can't help me. I was trying using Psoc to my graduation final work, and if I'd have to buy other kit, the problem is delay to receive it, so I was searching for another options.
Thank you for your help.

user_1377889 Sep 6, 2017 7:41 AM (in response to alessandro.grigoletti_2706241)1 of 1 people found this helpfulTry at ARROW or DIGI-KEY, they deliver to brazil. I would suggest you to get a CY8CKIT-043 which uses a PSoC4-M chip. The kit allows for direct programming and debugging!!

user_453804851 Sep 6, 2017 8:17 AM (in response to alessandro.grigoletti_2706241)1 of 1 people found this helpfulGlad I could help! I agree with Bob also, the CY8CKIT-043 will probably be the best fit for you. I must admit I kinda take debugging for granted. You can't do that (debug) with the serial kits like yours!

e.pratt_1639216 Sep 7, 2017 6:40 AM (in response to user_453804851)Trying to get an application working without debugging is pretty similar to swimming with only one arm :/
You don't realize what you have until it's gone.

user_453804851 Sep 7, 2017 7:14 AM (in response to e.pratt_1639216)My first introduction to PSoC was at a trade show. The Cypress rep was giving away the PSoC 4 and PSoC5 sticks like candy. So I got one of both. I started using the PSoC 4 first, as I thought it was newer. When I got stuck (because I forgot to add the bootloader component to a project) I used the KitProg from the other stick to fix it.
Now, years later, I use PSoC 4 for everything I can, while I buy the PSoC 5 sticks to make Mouse Molesters for my coworkers while I get another KitProg for me. (Company Corporate policy mandates our PCs lock after 5 minutes of no activity... Most of us need to check something once every 20-30 minutes.... Such a pain! lol)
I never really got into the PSoC 5 other than for the Mouse use. But I make a lot of custom PSoC 4 boards now.

e.pratt_1639216 Sep 7, 2017 1:47 PM (in response to user_453804851)Yeah; I got to work with the PSoC 4 BLE module for a work project; It was so much fun I'm sad I finished it... I plan to make more things with those chips in the future.
Someday I want to setup a clustering system of them just to see how feasible it is for performance, but it might just stay a dream for now

alessandro.grigoletti_2706241 Sep 10, 2017 5:56 AM (in response to e.pratt_1639216)Yeah, I know, but I have not had time to import one and only this kind of Psoc it was available to me, so, I've tried in this way.
Thanks for helping me folks

user_377217153 Sep 11, 2017 1:55 AM (in response to user_453804851)1 of 1 people found this helpfulThe XRES capability on SOIC8 (and DFN16) case:
Please read "AN86439":
Note: In the PSoC 4000 parts (all parts except the 24-pin QFN), pin P1[6] is temporarily configured as XRES during
power-up until the device executes the start-up code. Do not pull this pin down during power-up as this keeps the
device in reset.Also, please read "KBA91258":
Special functionality of P1[6] as a temporary XRES pin.So your SOIC8 does have an XRES and can be programmed with a normal KITPROG.
Best regards!

user_453804851 Sep 11, 2017 6:42 AM (in response to user_377217153)Thanks for that info Jurgen!
I didn't know that. It doesn't help me now as I already use the MiniProg3, but it is good for future reference!
