Here we go again, another query regarding firmware versions for using Cysmart with a new Cy5677 dongle on a Windows 10 x64 machine.

   

PSOC Programmer initially prompted me to update to Kitprog 2.17, and I've since learned, according to the forums here, that breaks Cysmart, so I've reflashed with C:\Program Files (x86)\Cypress\CY8CKIT-042-BLE Kit\1.0\Firmware\Programmer\KitProg\KitProg.cyacd, and then with the latest Cysmart firmware from the cysmart installation, but I still get Unsupported Device (COM50) in the target selection dialog of Cysmart. 

   

I'm using the KitProg USB-UART driver. 

   

I've tested with the upgraded Kitprog 2.17 as well, but no change.

   

Any suggestions?

   

 

   

PSOC Programmer output:

Hi,

   

Can you please do the followoing steps to double confirm?

   

2) Program and update the BLE Dongle firmware. You can find the hex file from the following path

   

C:\Program Files (x86)\Cypress\CySmart\1.2\dongle\CY5677

   

3) Open PSoC Programmer (Verify the programmer  version is latest 3.25.0 , if not please download the latest from http://www.cypress.com/documentation/software-and-drivers/psoc-programmer-3245) .

   

4) Plug the BLE dongle in to PC USB port.

   

5) In psoc programmer, Select the dongle. Select the hex file of dongle by clicking on the folder button. After that Click on program button. After programming the status will be 'PASS'.

   

6) Open Utilities tab -> click on upgrade firmware

   

7) Now close the Programmer and Open Cysmart. Make sure Dongle enumerated successfully. Check whether it is detecting the dongle now or not. (If not, please try press reset button on dongle and check )

   

If you are still not working, please provide the screenshot.

   

Also please try with one more PC if possible.

   

 

   

Thanks,

   

Anjana

Hi Anjana,

Do you know what causes the device to go into this Unsupported state? I am currently using the dongle to connect to multiple devices programatically using LabVIEW, and it frequently goes into this unsupported state. If I could figure out what triggers this, it would be extremely helpful!

Thanks,

Jasmine

It could be the windows drivers with the device being finnicky, but no idea. You could try slowing down how fast you do operations on the dongle and see if the slower speed reduces issues.
