Why does PSoC Programmer 3.28 think 1.01 firmware is more recent than 1.13?
How can I "Upgrade" a bricked kit with 1.13 firmware?
I have a CY8CPROTO-062-4343W that I can't program regardless what mode I put it in.
I used PSoC Programmer to see that
KitProg2/KitProg3 bootloader device is detected when LED2 is blinking On/Off/On/Off
KitProg3 CMSIS-DAP Version 1.2.0 FW Version 1.01.158 detected when LED2 has slow blink
KitProg3 CMSIS-DAP Version 2.0.0 FW Version 1.01.158 detected when LED2 is solid on
Opened Device Manager – Kit shows up as
KitProg3 USB-UART (COM11) when LED 2 solid
KitProg3 USB-UART (COM18) when LED 2 pulsing ~ 1.2 seconds
I finally broke down and got a new kit. The new kit seems to program fine.
Oddly, it shows up on Device Manager as: mbed Serial Port (COM70)
I used PSoC Programmer to see what it looks like. It shows up as:
Port Opened with Warning KitProg3 version Expecting 1.01.158, but found 1.13.322.

Moto,
Using fw-loader appears to be the key.
Navigating to KitProg User Guide @ https://www.cypress.com/documentation/development-kitsboards/kitprog-user-guide
Kitprog User Guide points to fw-loader updates on GitHub.
I was using fw-loader from within ModusToolbox 2.1, which appears to be Version 2.3.0.588.
I now installed fw-loader 2.3.1.610.
I plugged in my bricked CY8CPROTO-062-4343W
Pressed SW3 to set LED2 to a slow blink
Navigate to the newly installed fw-loader/bin directory
Run fw-loader --update-kp3
within the text scrolling is the line:
Kit FW is 'KitProg3' ver. 1.01 b158. Upgrade file is 'KitProg3' ver. 1.21 b707.
This looks promising
PSoC Programmer now tells me I have the newer code - though it still gives me a warning.
I don't see the firware version when using Cypress Programmer. I'm guessing the version is showing up as a raw hex code. Understanding Cypress Programmer is a task for another day.
All seems good with CY8CPROTO-062-4343W now.

Hi,
Have you tried "Cypress Programmer" instead of "PSoC Programmer"?

Dear Greg-san,
Yes, if you have installed the ModusToolbox, fw-loader, sure, will work.
And you found that great!
Meantime, if I remember correctly Cypress Programmer works better for PSoC 6 than the PSoC Programmer,
but anyway, it's not necessary anymore.
FYI, you can get Cypress Programmer from the URL below.
