We have been doing development with CY8C55 chips, then were forced to go to CY8C58LP chips as the old ones became obsolete.
Upgrading from Creator2 to 3, we find our old programs, once updated for Creator 3, will no longer run in Creator 2.
Is there any work round for this?

The releases, you can review release notes online for each release of

   

Creator, show bug fixes, as well as new capabilities, and modules. Because

   

of the former its importent to evaluate the impact on your designs, and either

   

update them (and their code) or risk unforseen field failures and incon-

   

sistent product performance.

   

 

   

Unfortunately (or fortunate depending on point of view) technology does

   

not stand still, nor do the devices offered nor do the tools stay stagnent.

   

 

   

There is no easy fix short of buying up all old obsolete stock and using this

   

until one runs out of production parts. But the code upgrade is not that difficult

   

in general as I think you will find.

The first time you opened your project in Creator 3 you have been asked to update it and create an archive (default: Yes) from the original file. Search for that archive-file which you may still open in Creator 2.
