have a CY8CKIT-059. I am unable to get the USBUART working. The device registers and works fine via programming port but not regular usb port. I have tried USBFS_UART example code and also other examples (for example the one on youtube). These projects build, compile and program the device fine. But once plugged in windows 10 does not show a new COM port or device. Nothing shows up in device manager and there is no sign of windows recognizing the device when plugged in via non-programming usb port. I have tried all the suggestions in the thread on CY8CKIT-50 however windows 10 still does not seem to register the device.  Is there something specific with this kit that I am missing?

Hi,

Just one more thing to ask you to confirm.

To use the regular USB connector of CY8CKIT-059

we use USB-A to USB-Micro-B cable.

And I have seen many USB-A to USB-Micro-B "charge only" cables for smart-phone/iPhone.

These cables have connections of only power and have no data lines.

Please take a look at the USB-A connector of your cable and if it has "USB" mark or "Power" mark.

Anyway, trying another USB Cable (A to micro-B) won't harm.

moto

P.S. Just like Noriaki Tanaka-san, your project worked fine on my CY8CKIT-059.
