I am trying to run the USBFS_UART01 example for a CY8C5868AXI-LP exactly as it was generated by the development environment from the list of available examples.

I work under Windows 10.

I use my card and a MiniProg3 to program it.

At the first attempt to program the microcontroller, I obtained the following results.

The programming connector is connected, the card is powered, on the MiniProg3 only the "Target power" light is on, while all the others are off and the microcontroller is not recognized.

I also tried using the JTAG protocol, obtaining the same result.

The configuration of the development environment is as follows.

Hello Guido,

Since your CY8C5868AXI-LP kit is not being powered externally, your settings are correct. It should ideally be acquired in both reset and power cycle mode. Anyways, since reset isn't working for you, can you please try Power Cycle mode and select 5V as shown below:

After this, click on Miniprog3 and then you can click on "Port Acquire" as shown below:

miniprog3_1.PNG

You should be able to see the kit detected. Then click on your kit and hit "OK/Connect" to program your device.

Additional information:

1) The red light (target power led) indicates that the Miniprog 3 is providing power to the kit.

2) Design and Programming Checklist for for PSoC® 3/ PSoC 5LP – KBA208166

Perfect, following your instructions, I obtained to program the microcontroller.

However, the indication of the aquire mode when the device is not externally powered  should be given by the development environment, it should not be necessary to ask for light to you ...

On the other hand, I have another problem.

After programming the microcontroller, the PC does not recognize the new COM, indeed it does not even see a new USB device, as you can see from the following image.

What should I do to have the PC recognize the device?

Hello Guido,

Have you connected the USB cable to the correct port? After programming you need to connect to the USB Comm port. Let me know if it worked.

But in which language should I explain you that I do not use the kit but my own board?

On my board there is just one USB connector, because the MiniProg3 is connected by its 10 poles flat cable.

Hello Guido,

I suggest you to create another thread as this is different from the main issue. Will assist you on that once created.
