Hello,

I tried to program my KitProg (PSoC® 6 Wifi-BT) using the PioneerKitApp, and I get a message:

Error: *********************************************************************************************

Error: * KitProg firmware is out of date, please update to the latest version using fw-loader tool *

Error: *********************************************************************************************

Error: No Valid JTAG Interface Configured.

Where do I find the fw-loader tool and latest firmware?

Hey Enrico,

Sorry about that.  Everything you need is right there in the installation.

See Chapter 7 of the User Guide, starting on page 54. The first thing

you want to see if your kit has kitprog2 instead of kitprog3. It probably

does.

Assuming you are on windows, open a  cmd window. Then, run the command

fwloader --device-list

Yes, that is two dashes "--"

If it says something like Kitprog2 blah blah blah then, run the command

fwloader --update-kp3

Let me know if that doesn't work. By the way, fw-loader is in $CYSDK/tools/fw-loader-1.0/bin.

You can probably do all this without even opening up the User Guide.

If you want to then use that kit with PSoC Creator, you need to first run

fwloader --update-kp2

to go back down to kp2.  You wouldn't have to do this after the next release of Creator though.

There is one other issue regarding SW3 on the board, but try this first. It should fix you up.

I'm on a Mac.  I can see that it is mounted as KitProg2 on the desktop.

Here are the commands I used through Terminal:

/Applications/ModusToolbox_1.0/tools/fw-loader-1.0/bin/fw-loader --device-list

Result:

Cypress Firmware Updater, Version: 1.0.0.505

Info: Start API initialization

Info: Connected - KitProg2 CMSIS-DAP HID-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX <- to mask my HID

Info: Hardware initialization complete (465 ms)

No connected supported devices

Tried the --update-kp3 command and got the same result.  Doesn't seem to recognize the hardware.

OK, give me a second. I don't want you to push that SW3 switch until I check the documentation one more time.

OK, first you need to get your kit out of "CMSIS-DAP HID" mode.  To do this, you press SW3 on your board.

SW3 is near the left-side, a little less than halfway up (I have my board oriented where the USB part connected

to the PSoC 5 used for programming is on the left-hand side and the CapSense area is on the bottom right).

After pressing that button, LED 2, right below the SW3, should go from OFF (which I hope it is now) to ON.

Now, you should be able to run fwloader --update-kp3

I think we need a blog post on this.  There is information in the User Guide, but that is a little inaccessible

and doesn't have enough on messages you might see.

Ok.  Here are my results once having used SW3 so that the LED is on.  My Mac (MacBook Pro 2013) indicated that the device was no longer connected.  I think this worked with your assistance.  Agree that the posts need to be a little more step by step for noobs like me. : )

Ran the following command in Terminal:

/Applications/ModusToolbox_1.0/tools/fw-loader-1.0/bin/fw-loader --device-list

I went back to Modus and tried to build and it appears to have completed successfully.

These were the last few lines in the build status window:

I'll have to try the blinky app and see if that works as I am still learning all this stuff at this point and am not sure what the basic program I loaded is supposed to show.  I'll continue the testing tomorrow.  Thank you for assisting this far.

I was able to load the Blinky app to the board so it appears to be working.  Thanks again for the assistance!
