Hi chhs_4614611​,

In the screenshot that you have shared, it can be inferred that the MiniProg3 is not detecting the target voltage.

1. Can you please confirm that all the 5 SWD pins are connected to the target?

2. Please let us know the value of external power supplied to the device. Can you try with 3.3 V and see if that works?

3. Can you find a yellow LED (not labelled) turning on in the middle of the MiniProg 3 device?

Thanks and Regards,

Have a look at this thread.  It may provide some suggestions.  A common solution appears to be to downgrade Miniprog3 s/w version.

Miniprog3 won't do reset programming

If you put " miniprog3 external power " into the Cypress search engine, it will list several related threads.

I don't have a Miniprog3, sorry I can't help otherwise.

Good luck.

Thank your help.

I have found that 3.3V can work normally.

If power connect 5V needs to add pull high resistor in SWD debug pin.
