I am working with Creator 3.3. Can someone tell me how to get the components tab to show up under the workspace explorer. I can't seem to find a setting to control this. I need to import a component into my project but the components tab is missing?

   

Thanks

Hello Every one ,

   

This is not a defect. PRoC devices will not support UDB's and custom component creation. There by the component tabs is removed for PRoC devices.

   

 

   

Thanks

But Source, Datasheets and Result tabs are visible? When not, attach a screenshot.

Here is the screen shot. Actually none of the component options are active in the project menu as well. If I open a differnet example project the components tab is there and when I reopen my project its missing

Workaround:

   

Create a new project and with copy & paste transfer the topdesign to the new one. Copy your sources to the new project. right click on "Header Files", select Add existing Item and add all your copied .h-files. Do the same with "Source Files", check for main.c is overwritten.

   

 

   

You can give Cypress the chance to analyze the error:

   

At top of this page select "Design Support -> Create a Support Case" and describe your problem.

   

Leave a link to this thread in the forum and additionally create a workspace bundle. To do so, use
Creator->File->Create Workspace Bundle (minimal)
and attach the resulting file.

I tried what you suggested. I created a new project and copied my topdesign file to the new project. Things looked ok until I changed to the target device that I am using CYBL10563-56LQXI. Once I did that the component tab disappeared again. I never even added any source files or tried to build.

I did not tell to copy the topdesign file, I was talking about copy & paste the layout. You should start with an empty project in a second instance of Creator.

Looks like this issue is related to whether I  use a PRoC or PSoC device. With PRoC device there is no component tab but with the PSoC device the component tab is visible. Im not sure what this means?

OK so I started with a blank project in a blank work space I select a PRoC part and I don't see the components tab. If I create a second project in a second workspace using the PSoC part I do see the components tab.

I have replicated this issue and see it is also present. I was unable to add any custom components to a PRoC project.

I was able to get the Components tab to show if I added a Library Project to the Workspace with a PRoC project, however the Custom Library will not show up under the Component Catalog unless I change my device to PSoC.

Jobin,

   

Is there a recommended way to get interrupts on a PRoC similar to the way this SysTimer component works? Should we (users of the PRoC) just use a Timer Counter? Or is there a better way?

There are several independent sources to get an interrupt from, so I assume you need a time-based event which would be fine when using a TCPWM component....

   

as long as you do not go into deep-sleep which will loose the 2% accuracy of the internal HFCLK. Same applies to other sources as the

   

WDT (WatchDog Timer) or the ARM M0 built-in SysTick timer.

   

Apparently you will receive interrupts from the BLE radio if you want.
