    Checksum Failed

    zhli_2658906 Apr 23, 2015 4:53 PM

      Hi, 

         

      when I try to program a code example on multifunction expansion card with FTSK programmer, I always receive the next programming log:

         
          Programming Terminated   
         
          ===> Checksum Failed   
         
          Doing Checksum

          Programming Succeeded

          >>>Program Requested   
         
              
         
          PSOC seems is programed correctly but this error always appears.   
         
          Can someone help me?   
         
          Thanks

          This forum software is a bit weired, so can it be that we have to read the lines from bottom up?

             

          If so, it seems to be correct: The last thing you (the programmer) do is burning some last fuses, so that the contents cannot be red out ("protect") This implements that a checksum cannot give a correct result since nothing meaningful can be red back from that point on. Solution? Try to disable check-summing the device.

             Thanks for reply.

               

            How Can I disable checksum?

              Don't know exactly, did you try to disable verification in the PSoC programmer ?

                 Hi Bob,

                   

                Yes I try to disable verification, but the error appears.

                   

                I think this error could be caused by 'Doing Protect' action, after programation is corfirmed. Is posible disable it?

                   

                I dont find where.

                   

                 

                   

                Thanks

                  There is a file named "flashsecurity.txt" shown in the workspacwe explorer. Edit this file accordingly to unprotect your flash-areas if you want to.

                        Hi Bob,   
                       
                            
                       
                        I have detected the problem but is very strange.   
                       
                            
                       
                        When I'm using the computer with a high comsuption of resources (like compiling a linux kernel) and then I try to program a PSoC, checksum process is OK, but when resources are free, checksum fails.   
                       
                            
                       
                        ???   
                       
                            
                       
                        It seems be fine when works slowly.   
                       
                            
                       
                        Is posible reduce the programming velocity ? Or do some similar?   
                       
                            
                       
                        Thanks

                      This looks a bit weired now, better try to file a technical case (under "Support -> Technical Support -> Create a Case" at the top of this page) to get some Help from Cypress directly.

                          Yes, this does sound weird.. 

                             

                           

                             

                          Do you have a spare system which you use to program your device? That will help you make sure it's the PC/software that is causing the problem.

                            Did you ever find out what was causing the problem?  I am getting the same error. Sometimes, the device does get programmed, but sometimes I get the error.

                              What hardware, which board, which PSoC, which programmer and which software version are you using?

                                  You do not have a checksum faillure, but a protection faillure.

                                     

                                  I would suggest to

                                     

                                  First: switch off all protection completely and verify programming and project working correctly.

                                     

                                  later: start switching on protecction which afaik cannot be verified (due to the protection)

                                     I as well get this

                                        I used to have the checksum fail until I turned everything in flashsecurity.txt to "U" or unprotected. I've also tried changing which aquire mode I'm in and have verification off. Any ideas?
