 I am trying to program the CY8CKIT-049-4xxx PSoC® 4 Prototyping Kit. I keep getting Program Time out. I attached two example I used. One is directly out of the PSoC Prototype User Guide (SCB_Bootloader).

   

Appriciate any help to see what I am doing wrong.

   

Thanks

Yes, I followed the directions and held down the button while plugging in the prototype board into PC. Blue LED changes rate of blinking.

Also Please post your program. Windows Doc examples are too hard to analyze.

        Please attach the file archive01. Also can you see the board in your device manager under com ports?

I do not see the "Bootloader Host" mentioned which is needed to be used to program the chip

Is "Bootloader Host" a file that is created. The only place I see "Bootloader Host" under Tools to see the Com connection, set the settings and program the board. If it needs to be created, am I missing something to do this. This all that is created, wat I sent.

You can program your board only by using the Bootloader Host from creator's menu.

   

You can program only a Bootloadable project, one that has got a correctly set up bootloadable component.

   

The Bootloader is already factory programmed into your board and cannot be changed without using a miniprog3.

Thanks. My understanding from user guide is that the programs I am using, the prototype board is all set up to just Build and run the program. With the SCB_loader program, I thought it said I was able to build and program prototype board right from the box. I should also be able to change the blinking LED rate and reprogram to see te LED blinking rate change. (I know to take board out and put back in while pressing the button. Make sure the COM port setting are correct). I believe that one of Cyrpess's beginning videos on programming prototype board states what I am stating, also. It did not say to do anything else. I guess I am missing something.

Genx: you are using an outdated Psoc Creator program and you should update it to Psoc Creator 3.3 CP2 (3.3.0.7343) as it said your bootloader was out of revision and could cause you issue.  I am sending your program back and it is working fine.  After you reinstall the Psoc Creator you will need to reinstall all of the Kit files this should update your Bootloader information.  By the way after you down load this file you will need to update the bootboadable dependencies to the location on your system where they reside.

One more thing make sure that your device is highlighted in the bootloader host when you try to program as it will default to the first com port in the list which could be your mouse or your touchpad and you will get a program failed message in the Bootloader host window.  I have been looking into all the ways this process can fail to keep you informed.
