Hi,

   

     I have the CY8CKIT-042-BLE kit and have used the CY5670 dongle with CySmart 1.2 and it has been very useful.  Now suddenly CySmart won't see the dongle.  It brings up a dialog that says I have to update the firmware to C:\Program Files(x86)\Cypress\Cysmart1.2\dongle\CY5670\BLE_4_1_Dongle_CySmart_128K.hex.

   

 But when I open PSoc Programmer 3.24.2 It says the dongle is running that file. (see  PNG attached)

So it has the correct file but still won't use  it.  All my Cypress programs have been updated to current, Any suggestions what I can do ?

   

Thank you,

First like given 50 questions asked 10 questions asked

Probably you mix two different resources needed:

   

The Kitprog which seemingly is up-to-date

   

and the firmware. You can see which hex-file to be programmed is selected, but you cannot see that the file has been programmed.
