Hi,

I have the e-Con Denebola kit, with CX3 interface. I have followed the documentation to bluid and program a project into the board. Now I want to debug it. I do not have a Segger J-Link or a CY7C65215 USB serial device as recommended in the "EZ-USB Suite User Guide" (EZUsbSuite_UG.pdf), version 1.3.3, section 3.

Is there a way to debug my program through USB? I also have a MiniProg3, can I use that to debug through JTAG pins?

Thanks in advance,

Andrés

Hi,

You can use debug the CX3 firmware using UART interface.  You can use the API CyU3PDebugPrint() to print the message logs using UART.

I am also having problems when modifying the CX3 and Sensor (OV5640) registers, and would like some help with that (using the Denebola kit).

Hi,

Thanks keaj, that really helps. But that requires an additional USB connection (one for the video stream, and one for the debugging) and that's perfectly fine for debugging. But is there a way to send other kind of information through the same video stream USB connection?
