I am using the bootloader host to program the KtiProg to be an oscilloscope/function generator as shown in this project outlined here . It works well for me, but there is a problem when some of my students try it. (The tcl program that controls the Ktiporg Scope can not find the com port assigned by bootloader host and crashes.) It can happen on Intel and AMD machines.
After some debugging it looks like the bootloader host uses COM3 no matter what. When it works I get:
"Selected device: Intel(R) Active Management Technology - SOL (COM3) - UART
Generic Serial Port " after loading the program into the kitprog.
When it is does not work (some students) IT will program the kitprog but it will give:
"Selected device: Standard Serial over Bluetooth link (COM3) - UART" It looks like COM3 has been assigned to a blue tooth device. Can you change which port it uses? Bootloader host gives no error, but the software that uses the Ktiprog as an oscilloscope/function generator crashes when it tries to use it. I have even programmed the CY8CKIT-043 and got everything working on one machine, only to have it fail when trying to use the software that controls the KitProg. Maybe this is a Windows issue with COM3?
Thanks,
-Dave
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Gautami,
I have been debugging some more and I can change the com port with no problem. I also set the usb device settings to turn off power mangement:
as well as set the power to bus-powered on the USB part
I also turned off blue tooth
These things did not work. When I start the software and try to select the com port the program (tcl) just crashes because it can not enumerate the serial port. The trouble is that it works for me on all my machines, but it does not work for some students. I should be able to get a computer that the kitprog scope does not work by Monday.
We also tried running things in windows 8 mode.
Thanks so much,
-Dave

Hi @dparent94 ,
Apologies on the delay on response for this issue.
Can you please let me know from where you have downloaded the GUI based TCL software that controls the KitProg scope for this?
Warm Regards
Alen

Hi Alen,
No worries. The link is here:https://github.com/Infineon/CyScope
It comes with documentation, but my tutorial on how to use it is here:

Hi @dparent94,
Apologies for the delay in response to this issue.
Can you please let us know where you want to change the COM3 port in the bootloader host or software tools?
Warm Regards,

Actually, I made a doc of the last things I tried.

Hi @dparent94,
Apologies for the delay in response.
I tried to recreate the issue and implement the solution that you provided.
As you mentioned "I should be able to get a computer that the kitprog scope does not work by Monday"
Did you try this?
Warm Regards,
Gautami J
