Using GPIOs on KitProg

Hello,

I'm using the KitProg (CY8C5868LTI-LP039) as a USB_UART bridge to turn on LEDs connected to the target board (CY8C5888LTI-LP097).

I'm trying to turn on another LED using GPIOs on CY8C5868LTI-LP039 header J8.

PC will send commands to turn on LEDs on the KitProg and target board at the same time.

The reason I want to use GPIOs on the KitProg is that the target board (CY8C5888LTI-LP097) is custom made and I am not able to get GPIOs there.

My understanding is the KitProg is used for programming and debugging.

But, is there any way to use the KitProg as a USB_UART bridge and connect LEDs to it?

Thank you.

Not easy to do.

Since you need a piece of program to actuate an LED you need to reprogram the kitprog. Rather: expanding the kitprog software by code to switch the LED on and off.

Thank you, Bob.

But how would I expand the Kitprog software? Should I use another Kitprog to program the target Kitprog?
