PSoC™ 5, 3 & 1 Forum Discussions

I was wondering how does one play samples? The first thing I'd like to achieve is to play a sine wave from a waveform sample. I wonder if I can do that or is there a simpler way?

Store raw audio in EEPROM -> drive DMA with clock or PWM -> pipe DMA output to DAC 

If there are any examples or application notes on this, I'd really appreciate that! Also, can I play audio from external memory (as in SD card)?

I get this error when trying to upload a hex file to my board                                                                     

FAILED! Hex File parsing failure. PSoC Programmer does not support current type of hex file

At the moment not sure which hex file I need to upload. How do I tell which is the one I need to upload with the PsOC Programmer?

Dear all

How to program the SAR ADC with full speed of 1 MSPS. I am using  CY8CKIT-059 kit. I am getting the error while configuration with 1MSPS of 18MHz colck.  Please help.

I wanted to re-create the blink example using the Cortex core only, no digital or analog modules. So far this is what I got but I still can't see the LED (port 2 pin2) blinking. What am I missing?

#include <project.h>
#include <cypins.h>
#include <cydevice_trm.h>

#define CYREG_PRT2_PC1 0x40005011u         //define pin 2.2
#define CyPins_SetPin(pinPC)     ( *(reg8 *)(pinPC) |= CY_PINS_PC_DATAOUT)     //set pin
#define CyPins_ClearPin(pinPC)   ( *(reg8 *)(pinPC) &= ((uint8)(~CY_PINS_PC_DATAOUT)))    //clear pin

int main()
{
  
    while(0)
    {
        CyPins_SetPin(CYREG_PRT2_PC1);
        CyDelay(1000);
        CyPins_ClearPin(CYREG_PRT2_PC1);
        CyDelay(1000);        
    }
    return(1);
}

I recently had difficulties programming my CY8CKIT-050 using either the on-board DVK05 programmer or a separate MiniProg3 programmer inside a virtual Windows 7 session under Paralles (MacOS 10.9.4, Windows 7 SP1).

Specifically, I could successfully program my device, but subsequent attempts to program would give an "unknown error -100." If I unplugged the programmer and plugged it back in, I could program once again but any further attempts would give the same error. 

The problem existed in both Parallels 9 and VMWare Fusion 6, but when I booted into Windows 7 natively (Bootcamp) the problem went away. It seems Cypress uses some non-standard USB tricks in their programmers that confuse the virtualized USB drivers. Although I have not found a workaround for Parallels, there is a workaround for VMWare Fusion. The specific line that I added to my vmx file was:

usb.quirks.device0 = "0x04b4:0xf131 skip-reset, skip-refresh, skip-setconfig"

This resolved the issue immediately, unfortunately I'm now stuck using VMWare instead of Parallels. At least I'm not stuck in native mode, though!

Hope this helps someone else. I struggled for weeks with this issue and even involved FAEs from Cypress on the matter, to no avail.

Hi,

Can I generate a 16 MHz clock on an output GPIO pin on cy8ckit-059 kit?

I am able to generate 24 MHz and integer divided clocks of 24 MHz (for example 12 MHz), but not 16 MHz. Giving a frequency value of 16 MHz still generates a 12 MHz clock.

Regards,
