Trying to debug code on CY8CPROTO-063-BLE

[jsmith678x]

Hi,

I'm trying to debug code on CY8CPROTO-063-BLE board but it doesn't work. Is it possible to hw debug on CY8CPROTO-063-BLE?

I tried with ModusToolbox 3.0 and ModusToolbox 2.1 but the debugger can not connect to the board.

HI @jsmith678x 

Can you please check KitProg2 Mode on CY8CPROTO-063-BLE prototyping board? It should be KitProg2 Program/Debug i.e, the status LED(LED2) should be ON.

Thanks and Regards,
Leo

I'm not sure which one to choose.

I've selected the highlighted

The error message

LED2 is ON

Trying now with ModusToolbox 3

jsmith,

With LED2 = ON, your KitProg2 is in Program/Debug mode.  This is good.

However, you are selecting the "JLink" of "PSoC6_Hello_World_Debug (JLink)".  This is not good.  You are not using the Seeger J-Link debugging interface.  This is why you cannot debug you selected project.

The KitProg2 is a SWD-type interface (not J-Link).  Use the "PSoC6_Hello_World_Debug (KitProg3_MiniProg4)" version of the project.  You should have much better success.

When I choose as you suggested:

Can't connect

jsmith,

I'm successful in programming "Hello_World" on my CY8CPROTO-063-BLE board.

However, I get ALMOST the same results you get when I try to program the board with it disconnected from USB.

The one difference is the line shown above in BLUE.

When you plug in your CY8CPROTO-063-BLE board to the USB of your PC you should get the port to be attached as an enumerated COM port as shown below in Device Manager.

It should be listed as "KitProg3 USB-UART (COMxx)"

Your COM port assignment ("xx") will probably a different number from my system assignment of COM16.

If you don't see the KitProg3 listed in Device Manager, then you have a lower-level issue that needs to be solved first.
