Hi,

   

I created a custom project with the CY8C5888LTI-LP097 chip and I have my hardware ready to be programmed. However, I can't actually start a debugging session because the button is greyed out. The only thing I can do is attach to a running target. Is there a reason why this is the case? Did I inadvertently put the wrong confguration in my .cydwr file?

Actually I found the problem. It seems that you cannot debug if you have a "Bootloadable" component in your design. I disabled it and now the debug button is no longer greyed out. Silly me 😛

Welcome in the forum, Alexandre!

   

Is the debug mode set to GPIO which disables debugging (set in .cydwr view under "System")

It's set to SWD (serial wire debug)

You are probably using a CY8CKIT-059. Can you use Cypress Programmer, select the Kitprog interface and see if the version is 2.16

Can you please post your complete project, so that we all can have a look at all of your settings. To do so, use
Creator->File->Create Workspace Bundle (minimal)
and attach the resulting file.
