Hi,

KitProg3 User Guide, chapter 2.2.5.2 GPIO Bridge Feature, says...

You can also use fw-loader GPIO dedicated command line options to set mode and state of GPIO pin:
fw-loader --set-kp3-gpio-pin <pin_number> <pin_mode> <state>


Use this command to read the current state of a pin:
fw-loader --read-kp3-gpio-pin <pin_number>

For example, to set 3[5] (port 3, pin 5) GPIO pin to High state in ResUp operational mode, use
fw -loader --set-kp3-gpio-pin 35 ResUp 1

To read current state of 3[6] (port 3, pin 6) GPIO pin, use:
fw -loader --read-kp3-gpio-pin 36

 

I'm using the latest fw-loader version which Infineon provides via github - which is version 3.3.0. But whenever I try to execute one of the recommendended commands, I get an error saying that I'm using an uncrecognized command:

 

fw-loader --read-kp3-gpio-pin 36
Cypress Firmware Updater, Version: 3.3.0.1370
(C) Copyright 2018-2021 by Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (an Infineon company)
All Rights Reserved

Error: Unrecognized command '--read-kp3-gpio-pin'. Run the app without arguments to see all supported command line options

 

If I'm executing fw-loader without arguments the command read/set-kp3-gpio-pin is missing... which is a bit confusing. Has anyone any idea what could be going wrong here?

Hi @Michael_Kupfner,

These commands are not supported in the fw-loader 3.3.0 version. It is because new commands as shown below in the screenshot are available in the next release. We have requested to revert the Kitprog3 User guide to the previous version. It will be soon available.

Hi Gautami,

thanks for clarifying this issue with your internal team. When will the next version be available?

Instead of reverting the KitProg User Guide back to current fw-loader Version, wouldn't it make more sense to release the new version as a "unstable" one (at GitHub)?

 

Kind regards,

     Michael
