We've got a number of bits of deployed hardware that use CY5677's in them, and we've recently started building a new one with a 'red' CY5677 in it, and the software doesn't recognise it:

DongleManager.TryGetCySmartDongleCommunicator

returns err with 'Message = "Not a valid CySmart dongle!"'

Is there a document with the changes needed to support this?

Unfortunately, no. We don't have any NuGet package available for this. The latest DLLs are available as part of the CySmart software that needs to be added to the code for compilation.

Hello Mike,

The Red color CY5677 dongle is made using PSoC device where as the older CY5677 dongle is made using PRoC device.

Please refer CySmart 1.3 application for windows source code which supports/recognises both the older and new CY5677 dongles.

You can install the CySmart 1.3 and look at the source code from the link below:

Thanks

The reason you are seeing this error is because you are on an older version of the CySmart DLLs. Under References, remove the existing references to the CySmart DLLs highlighted below:

Then right click on References > Add Reference > Browse and add the latest versions of the DLLs available at the path: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Cypress\CySmart\1.3\bin".

After making this change, it should work correctly. Let me know your observations
