Problem reading Cyfi radio registers

[Anonymous]

 Hi,

   

I'm trying to read the register contents from Artaflex CYRF6936-40LFXC radio modules on reset.

   

Till recently I used to get zeros from all registers. MISO pin showed a flat zero on CRO, with some abrupt pulses now and then.

   

I then reread the datasheet and realized that I had left RST pin and one of the two GND pins floating.

   

Datasheet says I have to connect 0.47uF from RST to VBAT but since VBAT is not available as a pin out from Artaflex module I have connected RST to VCC instead. I have shorted the two GND pins.

   

After doing this I started getting regular pulses on MISO pin. After 20 days of frustration, this was indeed a Eureka moment for me, so I wanted to read the register contents now.

   

I was expecting the default values to be read when I used CYFISNP_Read() function to read some registers like IO_CFG_ADR, PWR_CTRL_ADR and most importantly CYFISNP_FileRead() to read MFG_ID_ADR. But I was 0x00, 0xFF and some values in between. Today I removed all connections and reprogrammed the PSoC 4 and now the values are all 0's again.

   

Can someone please help me identify what I'm missing? 

   

Thanks and regards,

Hi Shreesha,

   

Did you port the CYFISNP stack yourself or are you using the project from Cypress?

   

The project is available in the Github for download - https://github.com/cypresssemiconductorco/WUSB

   

This project was developed in Creator 2.2 and I have tested in Creator 3.0. The project works in both the build. We havent tested in other Creator versions. So try using the Creator3.0 . 

   

Are you in debug mode when you are seeing 0x00 . Can you try using UART and print out the register values instead of checking it in Debug mode ?

Isn't the answer a bit late?
