PSoC™ Creator & Designer Forum Discussions

 Hi folks,

(PSoC and Creator newb here...)

I have one of thoise little PSoC 4 4200 based boards. (Not sure what the official name is.) I have built my first example project and am trying to flash it to the device. When I click the "Program" button I get a "Select Debug Targer" popup with the message "Port Acquire Failed."

Digging into Windows Device Manager I see two USB Serial devices. The first is "USB-Serial (Single Channel) Vendor MFG" and the second is simply "USB-Serial Adapter." Both are Cypress.

For "USB-Serial (Single Channel) Vendor MFG" when I drill down and look at events, the Information window shows:

Device USB\VID_04B4&PID_0002&MI_02\6&ab146f9&0&0002 was configured.

Driver Name: oem62.inf

Class Guid: {36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000}

Driver Rank: 0xFF0001

The  "USB-Serial Adapter" shows 

Driver Management has concluded the process to add Service CypressSerial for Device Instance ID USB\VID_04B4&PID_0002&MI_00\6&AB146F9&0&0000 with the following status: 0.

Hi at all,

I'm working with PSoC Creator and I have a little problem; in my header file I have declared a static function that I have defined and used in the relative source file, but when I compile the code, appears this warning 

'sht1x_writeByte' declared 'static' but never defined [-Wunused-function]

I really dont' know where is the problem because the function is defined and used...please, could anyone tell me what's wrong ?

regards

Hi all,

I am newbie and sorry If the same question was asked before.

As I understood, PSoC Creator creates hex file from Firmware and Verilog codes (for Programmable HW Blocks). 

I want to create a HW Design and want to pack it. After that I want to develop firmware in different environments. I dont mean export PSoC Project to Eclipse or uVision. I want to port an open source project to PSoC5 and it has own build environment. I want to implement PSoC specific modules for open source project and distribute it with pre-defined HW Design. 

Is it possible? 

Is there any document that explains hex file creation and Firmware and Programmable HW Block code relations?

Thanks. 

Regards.

Murat. 

I have been looking for some PC Software to read data accumulated from the PSOC device while it is running my firmware.  This is my first PSOC development project and I love the PSOC system. 

I am usong PSOC creator to develop my application.  I thought when I started that I could just put voltage, current meters etc on the schematic as components for the project and it would report that data in PSOC Creator (or some other software) while it was in debug mode or something but that is not the case. 

I would love to know if I am doing something wrong and dont understand or if there is some software that will do this with as little dev time as possible.  

Thank you very much in andvacne for your help

Hello all,

I want to facilitate my capsense board with the remote to control the applications corresponding.

        I'm using the board for the electrical switching application,

1. in that i want to give the remote control facility with the default touch switching.

2. is it feasible

3. suggest, awaiting for them.

Thanks & Regards-

 I’m having problems with my debugger. I am using PSoC Creator  3.0 Component Pack 7 (3.0.0.1539). I know that there is a newer version but am reluctant to upgrade in the middle of a project. I can't afford the time if it breaks my project. This issue just started today. When I start a debug session it seems to start but never halts at the beginning like usual. If I hit the break button nothing happens. In the output window I get the following:

Programming started for device: 'PSoC 4 CY8C4245LQI-483'.     

Device ID Check     

Erasing...     

Programming of Flash Starting...

Device 'PSoC 4 CY8C4245LQI-483' was successfully programmed at 07/15/2014 12:54:52.

Error 'Unable to create debug address from backend address 0xFFFFFFFF' received while attempting to read memory 0xFFFFFFFF-0x00000003

I ran into a pretty bright 7th grader the other day. He is 12 and very proficient in math. After some conversation, I found he is proficient in advanced algebra (what I was learning at age 16). He expressed some interest in learning programming.

I want to demonstrate the ARM platform to him and my PSOC5 toys. Do you feel a kid like that would be able to learn and handle C and the the concepts of embedded computing? I want to hook him early so he can not only impress his teachers, but turn that knowledge into a pragmatic career.

The thing that impressed me most about him was his ability to count in hex.

Also, I may wind up tutoring a high-school freshman in algebra who is struggling due to a learning disability. What I find about most schools in the US is that they are not good about exposing students to the practical side of what they are learning. Because their own curriculums are boring and full of drudgery, they start labeling the unmotivated students as learning disabled.

One thing this kid loves is video games. I want to show him how math is heavily used in the workings of video games and how to program them in the hope of motivating him. Once he is motivated, whatever learning disability he may or may not have he will compensate for. What language, engine, or platform should I start with here?
