Hello,

I am having a sudden and persistent issue using a MiniProg4 device to connect to PSoC devices. Previously, I was able to use the MiniProg to program PSoC devices without issue; however, the past two days the programmer has been unable to see anything connected to it, leaving me unable to develop.

I am using a MiniProg4 configured for SWD programming; my target device is a CYBLE-416045-02 component.

What is interesting is that this issue seems to be related to my workstation; I am able to program without issue when making use of a colleague's computer, even when using all of the same hardware (computer-to-MiniProg cable, custom SWD cable, PSoC device, etc.).

I have tested using multiple PSoC devices, multiple MiniProg4 devices, multiple computer-to-MiniProg cables, and multiple MiniProg to PSoC connectors. I have tested continuity of my custom SWD connector wires, and know that they are being received by the PSoC device. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled all Cypress programs and drivers (PSoC Creator 4.4, ModusToolbox, PSoC Programmer 3.29.0, MiniProg4 and MiniProg4 UART drivers), and none of these have solved the problem.

I had a similar issue occur about a month ago where my computer was unable to identify the attached MiniProg 4 device; however, following the steps listed here solved that problem. My current problem is unique in that I can see the programmer but cannot see any chip connected to it.

I have attached a photo below of my PSoC Programmer 3.29.0 setup and accompanying error when trying to erase the PSoC 63 chip.

Please advise what steps I should take to fix this problem.

Thanks.
