4.3 Frequently Asked Questions on KitProg Mass Storage

Programmer
1. What are the Cypress kits supported by the KitProg Mass Storage Programmer?
The KitProg Mass Storage Programmer currently supports only CY8CKIT-044 PSoC 4 M-Series
Pioneer Kit.
2. What are the operating systems supported by KitProg Mass Storage Programmer?
The KitProg Mass Storage Programmer works on Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac Operating
Systems. The KitProg Mass Storage Programmer is currently not supported on Linux Operating
System.
3. Why are the contents of F-RAM removed and filled with random values after programming
operation?
The KitProg Mass Storage Programmer uses the on-board F-RAM of the CY8CKIT-044 PSoC 4
M-Series Pioneer Kit to store the contents of the copied .hex file for programming operation. This
is the reason for removal of any stored data.
4. What happens if I copy an incorrect .hex file to the KitProg Drive?
If you copy a PSoC 4200M .hex file with invalid data (incorrect Silicon ID, incorrect Checksum,
and so on), the KitProg Mass Storage Programmer attempts a programming operation and
generates an error indicating which step of the programming operation has failed in the
STATUS.TXT file.
If you copy a .hex file which corresponds to any other device, the KitProg Mass Storage
Programmer does not attempt a programming operation and generates an error indicating that
the copied file is not a valid .hex file in the STATUS.TXT file.
If you copy any other file than specified above and file size does not exceed the KitProg Drive
size, the file will be visible in the KitProg Drive until the KitProg Drive is removed from the PC.
Note that the file is not actually copied to the KitProg Drive. Delete these files before attempting
to program a new .hex file.
5. Why does my Operating System display the pop-up “Disk Not Ejected Properly” after every
programming operation in KitProg Mass Storage Programmer mode?
The KitProg Mass Storage Programmer temporarily ejects 2 seconds after the programming
operation. This can also cause the file explorer window of the KitProg Drive to close after
programming operation in some operating systems.
6. Is it possible to program an external PSoC other than PSoC 4200M using the KitProg Mass
Storage Programmer?
No. The KitProg Mass Storage Programmer supports only PSoC 4200M on the CY8CKIT-044
PSoC 4 M-Series Pioneer Kit.
7. Can I use .hex files generated by any other IDE other than PSoC Creator to program the PSoC
4200M using KitProg Mass Storage Programmer?
Yes. You can also use the .hex file generated for PSoC 4200M by an external IDE such as
Eclipse, IAR, Keil µVision that supports PSoC 4 devices, to program the PSoC 4200M using
KitProg Mass Storage Programmer.
8. Why does the programming time for different files vary?
The KitProg Mass Storage Programmer intelligently programs only the flash rows with non-zero
data. Depending on the contents of your project, the programming time may take up to 20
seconds.

KitProg User Guide, Doc. # 001-96359 Rev. *I 17

 5. KitProg USB-UART Bridge

The KitProg can act as a USB-UART bridge. This feature of the KitProg is useful to send and receive
data between the Cypress device on the kit and the PC. For example, in the PSoC 4 M-Series
Pioneer Kit, the KitProg USB-UART can be used to print debug messages on COM terminal
software running on the PC.
This section explains a method to create a PSoC 4 code example, which communicates with the
COM terminal software using the KitProg USB-UART Bridge. This example uses Windows
HyperTerminal as the COM terminal software. If you have a Windows operating system that does
not have HyperTerminal, use alternate terminal software such as PuTTY.
1. Create a new PSoC 4 project in PSoC Creator, as shown in Figure 5-1. Select a specific location
for your project and name the project as desired. You must select the appropriate device for this
project depending on the kit as provided in Table 2-1. Ensure that the Project template option is
set to Empty schematic. This example uses PSoC 4200M as the target device and PSoC 4 M-
Series Pioneer Kit as the target board.

/* Transmit String through UART TX Line */

UART_UartPutString("CY8CKIT-044 USB-UART");
for(;;)
{
/* Get received character or zero if nothing has been
received yet */
ch = UART_UartGetChar();
if(0u != ch)
{
/* Send the data through UART. This functions is
blocking and waits until there is an entry into the TX
FIFO. */
UART_UartPutChar(ch);
}
}
}
6. Build the project by choosing Build > Build [Project Name] or pressing [Shift] [F6]. After the
project is built without errors and warnings, program the project (by choosing Debug > Program)
to the PSoC 4200M using KitProg.
Note: UART RX and UART TX can be routed to any digital pin on PSoC 4 by using the UDB
implementation of the UART Component. In this case, we are using the SCB implementation of
the UART, which routes the pins to one of the specific set of pins supported by the device. This
will vary depending on the PSoC 4 device used.

 7. Developing Applications for PSoC 5LP

The KitProg is implemented using a PSoC 5LP device. You can also use the PSoC 5LP as a mixed-
signal system-on-chip device to build your own custom projects. For example, the PSoC 5LP on the
kit can be reprogrammed to act as a function generator for the kit. Refer to the application note
AN69133 - PSoC® 3 / PSoC 5LP Easy Waveform Generation with the WaveDAC8 Component for
details on how to create waveforms using a PSoC 5LP device.
Two types of projects can be created for a PSoC 5LP that runs KitProg: Bootloadable and Normal.
Bootloadable projects can be programmed into the PSoC 5LP using the USB connection from a PC
without any specialized hardware. To program Normal projects, you will require a MiniProg3. You
also need to populate the PSoC 5LP programming header on the development kit. For the PSoC 4
M-Series Pioneer Kit, this header is marked J5. See the respective kit guide for more information on
the PSoC 5LP programming header. Jump to the section Building a Normal Project for PSoC
5LP chapter on page 42, if you want to create a normal project for PSoC 5LP.

To learn more about the bootloading concept, refer to the application note AN73854 - PSoC® 3,
PSoC 4, and PSoC 5LP Introduction to Bootloaders.
Note: The CY3280-MBR3 CapSense Evaluation Kit does not have a provision to populate the
programming header for PSoC 5LP.
The following sections provide step by step directions for building a Bootloadable and a Normal
project for PSoC 5LP.

7.1 Building a Bootloadable Project for PSoC 5LP

All bootloadable applications developed for the PSoC 5LP should be based on the bootloader .hex
file, which is programmed onto the kit. Therefore, you will need to provide the location of the
bootloader .hex file inside the bootloadable project.
The bootloader .hex file is included in the kit installer directory in the following path, as shown in
Figure 7-1:
<Install_Directory>\<Kit_Name>\<version>\Firmware\Programmer\KitProg_Boot
loader
Figure 7-1. KitProg Bootloader Hex File Location

KitProg User Guide, Doc. # 001-96359 Rev. *I 35

 Developing Applications for PSoC 5LP

To build a bootloadable application for the PSoC 5LP, follow this procedure:
1. In PSoC Creator, choose New > Project and click the PSoC 5LP Design; select Launch Device
Selector from the drop-down list for Device to bring up the Select PSoC 5LP Device window
and select CY8C5868LTI-LP039, as shown in Figure 7-3. Click OK.
Note: If you have not set the Application Type as Bootloadable in the New Project window under
the Advanced section (in PSoC Creator 3.1 or earlier), you can change it in the existing project by
selecting Project > Build Settings and click the <Project Name> > Application Type >
Bootloadable. Beginning with PSoC Creator 3.2, the Application Type option is removed from the
New Project window and the Build Settings menu. PSoC Creator 3.2 automatically recognizes the
application type from the TopDesign schematic.

12.Select the USB Human Interface Device in the Ports list and click the Program button
(Figure 7-11) in the Bootloader Host tool to program the device.
13.If the bootload is successful, the log displays “Programming Finished Successfully”; otherwise, it
displays “Failed” and a reason for the failure.
Notes:
■ The PSoC 5LP pins are connected to the PSoC 5LP GPIO header. These pins are selected to
support high-performance analog and digital projects. See A.1 Pin Assignment Tables for pin
information.
■ Take care when allocating the PSoC 5LP pins for custom applications. For example, P3[2]-P3[3]
are dedicated for programming the PSoC 4200M in CY8CKIT-044. Refer to the respective kit
schematics before allocating the pins.
■ When a custom bootloadable project is programmed onto the PSoC 5LP, the initial capability of
the PSoC 5LP to act as a programmer, USB-UART bridge, or USB-I2C bridge is not available. To
recover this functionality, bootload the KitProg file back into the PSoC 5LP. The file is available in
the kit installation directory at:
<Install_Directory>\<Kit_Name>\<version>\Firmware\Programmer\KitProg\Ki
tProg.cyacd
■ The status LED does not function unless it is used by the custom project.
For additional information on bootloaders, refer to the AN73503 - USB HID Bootloader for PSoC 3
and PSoC 5LP.

7.2 Building a Normal Project for PSoC 5LP

A normal project is a completely new project created for the PSoC 5LP device on the PSoC 4 M-
Series Pioneer board. Here the entire flash of the PSoC 5LP is programmed, overwriting all boot-
loader and programming code. To recover the programmer, USB-UART bridge or USB-I2C bridge
functionality, reprogram the PSoC 5LP device with the factory-set KitProg.hex file, which is shipped
with the kit installer.
Note: You cannot program a normal PSoC 5LP project into the KitProg's PSoC 5LP device in proto-
typing kits such as CY8CKIT-059 and CY8CKIT-043. The PSoC 5LP device present in the KitProg of
the prototyping kits supports programming through bootloading only.
The KitProg.hex file is available at the following location:
<Install_Directory>\<Name_of_the_Kit>\<version>\Firmware\Programmer\Kit-
Prog\KitProg.hex
This advanced functionality requires a MiniProg3 programmer, which is not included with this kit. The
MiniProg3 can be purchased from www.cypress.com/go/CY8CKIT-002. In addition, the 10-pin PSoC
5LP programming header (PSoC 5LP PROG) on the kit needs to be populated (refer to the kit’s Bill
of Materials for ordering the part) to connect the MiniProg3 for programming and debugging the
PSoC 5LP device.

KitProg User Guide, Doc. # 001-96359 Rev. *I 42

 Developing Applications for PSoC 5LP

To build a normal project for the PSoC 5LP, follow these steps:
1. In PSoC Creator, choose New > Project and click the PSoC 5LP Design; select Device as
CY8C5868LTI-LP039 (see Figure 7-13), and then click OK.
Figure 7-13. Create New Project in PSoC Creator

2. Develop your custom project.

3. Build the project in PSoC Creator by choosing Build > Build Project or pressing [Shift] [F6].
4. Connect the 10-pin connector of MiniProg3 to the onboard PSoC 5LP PROG header.
5. To program the PSoC 5LP with PSoC Creator, choose Debug > Program or press [Ctrl] [F5]. If
the Select Debug Target window appears and shows MiniProg3 and the selected device in the
project under it (CY8C5868LTI-LP039), click on the device and click Connect to program.
Notes:
■ The 10-pin PSoC 5LP programming header is not populated.
■ The PSoC 5LP pins are brought to the PSoC 5LP GPIO header. These pins are selected to
support high-performance analog and digital projects. See A.1 Pin Assignment Tables for pin
information.
■ Take care when allocating the PSoC 5LP pins for custom applications. For example, P3[2]-P3[3]
are dedicated for programming the PSoC 4200M in CY8CKIT-044. Refer to the respective kit
schematics before allocating the pins.
■ When a normal project is programmed onto the PSoC 5LP, the initial capability of the PSoC 5LP
to act as a programmer, USB-UART bridge, or USB-I2C bridge is not available.
■ The status LED does not function unless it is used by the custom project.

Note: The Bridge Control Panel software cannot connect to the KitProg, if the KitProg firmware
version is outdated. Refer to Updating the KitProg Firmware on how to update the KitProg firmware.
Note: The programming/debugging function and USB-I2C bridge function of the KitProg are
mutually exclusive functions and cannot be used together. As a result, in order to use one function,
the other function should be disconnected. For instance, in order to program the device while using
USB-I2C bridge in BCP, either close BCP or disconnect the USB-I2C bridge in BCP. The USB-UART
bridge function of the KitProg, however, can run in parallel to both programming/debugging and
USB-I2C bridge functions.

8.3 Leakage Current Reduction on Target MCU through SWD Lines

A current bounce in the range of several hundred microamps may be observed on a target in low
power modes, because the SWD clock and data lines are left floating on the kit. Because of that the
target on the kit may wake up unexpectedly. If it is necessary to prevent this situation in your design,
you can use one of the following solutions:
1. Re-purpose the SWD clock and data lines to GPIO.
2. Use resistive pull up on these lines.
