Environment
OS:windows10 64bit
PSoC Creator:4.2.0.641
PSoC Programmer:3.27.1.3121
KIT: CY8CKIT-044, CY8CKIT-026
Hi,
When I checked STATUS LED, I found the LED blinks fast(maybe frequency = 4.00 Hz). So I checked CY8CKIT-044’s Quick Start Guide and upgrade firmware. LED status became ON.
However, I couldn't program to CY8CKIT-044. Also, I tried reboot PC, remove and insert all cable, retry to upgrade firmware, but I couldn’t solve the problem. How can I solve this error?
postscript
After upgrade firmware and remove cable psoc and pc, the LED blinks fast when I reconnect psoc and pc.
Thanks,
yuki
Solved! Go to Solution.

Dear Yuki-san,
From what you wrote, I am afraid that the board or the PSoC 4 on the board might be broken.
One last thing I'd like to check is a couple of jumpers on the board
(1) Jumper 9 (J9) selecting VDD voltage between 3.3V and 5V
(2) Jumper 14 (J14) (Number 17 in your picture above)
Are both of them are placed just like in your picture?
If they are, I think that the board has physical problem.
I would suggest you to contact the distributor you purchased the board
and ask them for replacement or repair.

P.S. Writing hex file to the PSoC 4 is not from "Utilities tab > Upgrade Firmware",
but your screen shot suggests that you did right.
So it won't be a problem.

Hi Moto
I installed psoc programmer 3.28.5(latest ver.) and update firmware. The LED blink pattern changed fast to very fast. According to the guide 63 page, SWD or I2C operation is in progress in this pattern. However, I don't any communication with psoc, only connect pc and psoc. Is the psoc broken?
Tanks,
yuki

Dear Yuki-san,
Although I think that you have already done this,
but I would try
(1) Disconnect USB from PC then reconnect
(2) Push Reset SW for 3 ~ 5 seconds
> Is the psoc broken?
Possibly.
If it's still in the guarantee period,
you may want to contact with your supplier.

Dear Yuki-san,
After posting my previous response,
I noticed that at least you could update KitProg Firmware.
So that part of CY8CKIT-044 must be alive.
Then the problem seems to be the rest.
If what I posted in my previous post did not help,
I would try to acquire the port.
(1) From the menu bar
Debug > Select Debug Target...
(2) In the "Select Debug Target" Dialog
Select "Port Setting"
Note: In my case "PSoC 4200M..." is already displayed but don't care about it.
In the displayed dialog, please make sure the choice(s) are same with mine.
After dismissing the last dialog by selecting "OK" button
Hopefully "PSoC 4200M .. ." will be visible,
otherwise please try selecting "Port Acquire"
If all above failed, attached is my trivial Green LED blinking project.
Please try program your board with PSoC Programmer with the attached hex file.
To do it, start PSoC Programmer
and from Menu select
File > File Load...
Then select the attached hex file.
Then select "Program" Icon to program the hex file to the device.
.. programming...
If "Programming Succeeded" is shown in the Results pane, it's done.
This will blink the Green LED (P2[6]) every second.
So if the board starts blinking this LED at least some part of PSoC 4 is alive.
Or if programming the device via PSoC Programmer also fails,
PSoC 4 might be damaged/broken.

Dear Moto-sam,
I tried below
1.
(1) Disconnect USB from PC then reconnect
(2) Push Reset SW for 3 ~ 5 seconds
→No change
2.
(1) From the menu bar
Debug > Select Debug Target...
(2) In the "Select Debug Target" Dialog
Select "Port Setting" and confirm setting is same.
Then, push "Port Acquire"
3.
(1)In Psoc programmer, Urilities tab > Upgrade Firmware
(2)Open hex file
(3)Push "Program"
→cannot porgram
I find some strange points.
- In Psoc programmer bottom right, power condition is "Not Powered".
- The psoc board' STATUS LED light weakly and Power LED is off.

Dear Moto-sam,
Jumper 9 (J9) 14 (J14) are placed just like in the picture.
I'll contact distributor.
I really appreciate your help.
