USB - UART pioneer kit problem

Anonymous · ‎Sep 22, 2014

For a school project I designed a method to look how long a dma transfer of x bytes takes vs doing it in software.

The problem is that I can't get the usb uart working properly. I have used the same value's as in the Cypress Psoc5LP USB uart example but my pc says It can not recogneise it.

Neither does it recognise the PID and VID (just say's 0).

I am using the Psoc 4 pioneer kit and bootloading the psoc 5.

Also I tried to remove al the extra code and components and just get the usb uart to work. But it was no success.

The files are attached.

I hope i can find some help here.

You are probably barking at the wrong tree 😉

The bootloader you refer to is residing in the PSoC4 chip and not within the 5-LP. I am not sure if the PSoC5 on the Pioneer Kit even has got a bootloader, afaik it is programmable only by using a MiniProg3 or something equivalent.

Since the PSoC4 has got no USB interface you are a bit stuck. Next bigger solution is a kit-050 for $100 which is more than that what I spend for breakfast.

hopefully somebody else has got a different idea
