On PSoC 6BLE Pioneer Kit device was successfully programmed (using sample Project CE220331) with PSoC Creator 4.2 but the application does not start.

I think the problem comes up because I was playing with the mode switches SW3 and SW4 on the kit.

Now it seems to be the situation that the PSoC 6 BLE Pioneer Kit can not set back into Custom App Mode.

I have followed the instructions from KitProg2 User Guide (Fig. 1-3 b) but no way to find back to custom app. Mode.

There is no reaction when pressing SW1 (RST) or SW2.

Could you please suggest the procedure to bring the kit back in custom app mode.

Thanks

Please look at the PDL compatibility with different silicon revisions as shown in the table:

As seen from one of the logs, you have *A revision of the kit and hence will not work on PDL3.1.0. If you want to use the latest PDL, you will need a replacement.

Hi,

I think there is a misunderstanding in here. Custom application is a PSoC 5LP application. It runs on KitProg2. When custom application is running, you cannot program or debug PSoC 6 MCU. To programm or debug PSOC 6 MCU , KitProg2 must be in programming mode (KitProg2 or CMSIS-DAP). Sample Project CE220331 is not a custom application in terms of KitProg2. Debug your PSoC 6 MCU project to fix program errors.


If for some reason you cannot enter KitProg2 in programming mode, restore it to factory program using PSoC Programmer.

To do this, while pressing the SW3 switch, connect the PSoC 6 BLE Pioneer Board to the computer using the included USB Type-A to Type-C cable. This puts the PSoC 5LP into bootloader mode, which is indicated by the blinking amber status LED.

Run PSoC programmer.

“KitProg2 Bootloader devices are detected” message appears in the PSoC Programmer Results window.

Switch to the Utilities tab in PSoC Programmer and click the Upgrade Firmware button.

After programming is completed, the message “Firmware Update Finished” appears and the factory program is now successfully restored on the PSoC 5LP.

Best regards,

Liviu

Hi Liviu,

thanks for the quick answer.

1. When talking about "Custom application" I thought to refer to the a sample application (Sample Project CE220331) recently programmed to the kit. Yes that was a missunderstanding of the term" custom application".

2. Now I followed your instructions but the sample application still does not start. Also the switches SW1 and SW2 do not have any impact.

Hi Helmut,

What mean not start ?

E-INK display don't show the instructions ?

Have you tried to debug step by step your project ?

Hi Liviu !

Answering Your questions:

What mean not start ?

- SW1 and SW2 no reaction

- not any LED on

E-INK display don't show the instructions ?

- display frozen in old state - no changes

Have you tried to debug step by step your project ?

- Errors while debugging:

Hi Helmut,

is the original CE218136_EINK_CapSense_RTOS.hex working ?

After programming cycle the power of the board.

Hi Liviu,

these are the hex files I can see:

Is it that what you are looking for? I can`t find a CE218136_EINK_CapSense_RTOS.hex !!!

And I don`t understand well your idea.

Hi Helmut,

I try to figure out if there is a problem with the hardware or with the "Project" (software).

Try to program the attached hex file with PSoC Programmer and cycle the power of the board.

Thanks,

Liviu

Hi Liviu,

wonderful, that piece of code works fine:

RST-Button      OK

Power ON LED   OK

LED  8              OK

Display             OK

Sliders              OK

What is the next step?

Thanks

Hi Helmut,

awesome. Now try this hex file.

If this works, it means some part of your project is corrupted by some reason.

Hi Liviu,

yes, BLE_UI also works.

I have tried sever sample projects, all with the same problem. Can't start the application after loading via PSoC Creator.

Thanks for today. I`m going to sleep. Midnight

Hi Helmut,

Is it Build Settings -> Peripheral Driver Library -> RTOS -> FreeRTOS -> Memory Management checked ?

Hi Helmut,

sorry if I bothered you with a lot of questions. I can't figure out an easy way to fix the problem.

I know a hard way. Create a brand new project and import all source files and headers.

Hi Liviu,

I'm a newbie with PSoC6 and PSoC Creator.

Do you have a guideline how to do that?

PS: When do you sleep?   😉  😞

Hi Helmut,

In this case take a look at https://iotexpert.com/2017/05/30/psoc-6-freertos-first-example/ .

Later I will show you more.

Hi Helmut,

I am pretty sure the problem is PDL 3.1.0.

Project build with PDL 3.0.4 works (1-LEDBlink.hex)

Project build with PDL 3.1.0 don't (1-LEDBlink_1.hex).

Try to build your projects with PDL 3.0.4 .

To change PDL version go to Tools -> Options. Under Project Management you will see the PDL v3 (PSoC 6 devices) location. You can then browse for the PDL location of your choice.

Don't forget to verify if Build Settings -> Peripheral Driver Library -> RTOS -> FreeRTOS -> Memory Management is checked.

Best regards,

Liviu

Hi Liviu,

yes, some of the Code Examples work well with PDL V3.0.4 some do not (e.g. CE218138). They requir latest PDL version (see error meassage):

> Error:  The Peripheral Driver Library (PDL) driver is incompatible with the Scan_ADC_v3_10 component used in the design, please install the latest PDL. <

So I have uninstalled my previous PDL 3.1.0 version and installed it again.

Now with code example CE218138:

Build Succeeded;

Finished Programming

But app. doesn't work. No SW RST, No Sw2, display frozen. No BLE

When building the following warning came up:

> Digital Placement...

Warning: placer did not place the following components:

   \ADC:SARMUX\:SARMUX  <

Don't know if it matters !?!?

Hi Helmut,

have you tried to build CE218138 Project without Update Components.

You can find a very good explanation for warning in this discusion SARMux Placement error
