Can't acquire target

I am using a FREESOC2 from sparcfun to create a lab support tool.  It allows access to much/all of the functionality of the PSOC5LP.  

   

 

   

I was programing it and learning more and all was going well.  Then It failed to acquire target.  I downloaded and installed the latest version of Creator, opened Programmer and updated the firmware on the target successfully.  However, Creator still fails to see it.  The debugger shows up on the com port in the device manager so it's there.  However, Creator can not "acquire it".  I also grabbed a spare FRESOC2 and tried to acquire it unsucessfully.  Lastly, this morning I also had to reregister my Keil license which I did.  Any help resolving this would be greatly appreciated.  The PSOC solves so many lab integration problems for me...

   

 

   

Thanks,

   

Mike

Try unplugging the board and plugging it again some seconds after. Or check if the COM port of the FreeSoC is being used elsewhere and stop/kill that process.

        In case of loosing PSoC target I close the Creator and restart it again. In rare occasions computer restart is required.

One of the last tries: There is a piece of software that de-installs drivers sitting on an USB-port named USBdeView from nirsoft.org (free).

   

When connecting anew wait until all drivers are installed again.

I rebooted my PC and it seemed to solve the problem.  Also, once I lost it I tried to reacquire the target with opening a project first and that didn't work for me.  However, after opening a project I could acquire the target...  Thank all of you for your help.  I quite like the FREESOC board! 🙂
