PSoC™ Creator & Designer Forum Discussions

hello

used PSoc 4.2.

i defined a uint8 XXX variable.

in another file, by mistake,  this variable defined as: extern uint32 XXX;

there was no warning. in MAP file the XXX is located as 1 byte. but we have a memory override of another variable that  located in the near address.

please advice if there is a way to check such cases automatically (by compiler....)

thanks in advance

I have a compilation error on psoc creator 4.4 between break point and no break point

Environment:
PSoC Creator 4.4 (4.4.0.80)
Culture: English (United States)
OS Version: Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18363.0
CLR Version: 4.0.30319.42000

when there is a break point in file c . run debug the program pointer is wandering. Even though the main program doesn't have any lines of code

result when i run debuger

no lines of code in main.c

cause break point in code

//========================================================= =============================//

after removing break point .compiler program translates correctly

and result when i run debug.i work perfect

Using PSOC Creator 4.4 on a win7 x64 system I get the following error message:

after clean and build I get:

prj.M0120:Build error: The command 'arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe' failed with exit code '1'.

I implemented several projects before and everything worked well. Now with this project I get this message. I switched back to an old project, here the make process is OK. The problem seems related to the project setup.

Please help to get my project build working

So I have this main.c program that was made long ago (by another employee). It was made for CY8C4245PVI-482. I'm trying to understand the program, but there are a bunch of library functions. I don't know where to find documentation on them. For example

    int status = UART_DMX_ReadRxStatus();

I searched for "UART_DMX_ReadRxStatus" online and there is one result. Some documentation would be immensely helpful! Is ther any PDFs or links to relevant documentation available? (The PSoC Creator User Guide does not help.)

Hello, 

I am searching for a solution or guide, how to setup PsoC Creator (or other IDE or VSCode) on Windows 10 and OpenOCD/GDB running on Linux. I have connected the MiniProg4 Program and Debug Kit CY8CKIT-005 on remote Linux system. I also established a connection between the computers.
Is it even possible? If not, please let me know how you would establish connection from the above-mentioned configuration.

I look forward to your reply,
AK

Hi, I'm using PSoC Creator 4.4.

In case it helps I'm targeting PSoC 5LP. And I can compile my project from IDE without any problem.

But I want to integrate my project into a "builder",  and thus, I need to compile my project from command line.

What's the best approach to do it? Many thanks!

Hi all,

I have recently encountered a very annoying issue. PSoC Creator 4.4 will randomly freeze up and I have to terminate the application using the Windows Task Manager. Task Manager reports that the program is not responding.

If I restart my PC, then PSoC Creator will work ok for a little bit of time, but then it will freeze up again. When I re-launch it, the bottom-left status area shows that it completed loading my project, but hangs when trying to change the windows from the default view over to the documents in the project I loaded.

I have tried directly loading the project by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer, and clicking on it from the PSoC recent projects hyperlink. Both result in the same outcome.

I did see the knowledge base article on using Visual Studio with PSoC Creator can cause issues, but I do NOT use Visual Studio.

My PC is running the TrendMicro anti-virus program, and I have put an exception on all the .exe files in the bin directory within the install folder of PSoC Creator. Does PSOC Creator create temporary other than the default log file? I could try adding an exception to any temporary folder locations as well.

When the program crashes on boot-up, this is the contents of the log file:

Log file for this session is located at: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\PSoC Creator-000.log

Is there any other diagnostic information I could extract when the program freezes?
