I'm using the XC888-8FF with my students for basic microcontroller training and small projects (thesis).

In the process of learning, students (and professors alike) write faulty programs.
One of my students, on testing such a program, activated FLASH protection.
I assume this is because he accidentally activated ROM code.

The problem is that once the FLASH is protected, there is now way to deactivate this, unless you know
the password. Since the protection was activated by a faulty program, we do not know wat this password is.

I would like to know:
-is there a general password that can be used to erase the device, and make it usable again?
-is there any option in FLOAD ore MEMTOOL, to deactivate the protection and erase the device, without password?

If this is not the case, the only option is to replace the device.

For the infineon reader: you have equipped the device with a watchdog to reboot when somthing (power glitch?)
disturbed normal program flow. This could also activate ROM code, and thus making the device unaccessible for
the user..... Show Less

Can anybody send the User Guide and Windows Driver of BENICIA DVK BOARD VER1 to rj_tang@163.com ? Thank you very much!

Hi

   

I'm quit new with PSoc and I want to install FreeRTOS on PSOC5 So when I wnat to open the workspace from "FreeRTOS/Demo/CORTEX_CY8C5588_PSoC_Creator_GCC/FreeRTOS_Demo Workspace.cywrk workspace file from within the PSoC Creator IDE." then it shows me the error : Error: prj.M0052: Unable to open the project "./RTOSDemo.cydsn/RTOSDemo.cyprj": (Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files\Cypress\PSoC Creator\FreeRTOSv7.0.2\Demo\CORTEX_CY8C5588_PSoC_Creator_GCC\RTOSDemo.cydsn\RTOSDemo.cyprj'.). Address the error and try again.
 

   

Can you help me with solving ?

Hi,

I have some code to get data from an IN endpoint on the USB

if ( false == ::DeviceIoControl(h, IOCTL_ADAPT_SEND_NON_EP0_DIRECT,
                        pXmitBuf, iXmitBufSize,
                        data, size,
                        &dwReturnBytes, (LPOVERLAPPED)NULL) )

{

  //throw exception

}

The problem is for the very last transfer, no data is passed back, and I do not want the DeviceIoControl to capture anything. The above code will block until sometthing is captured, but I want it to abandon the last capture. I could successfully do that with the IOCTL_ADAPT_RESET_PARENT_PORT. However, that will NOT result in an excpetion being through, as no error condition is reported.

I tried using IOCTL_ADAPT_ABORT_PIPE to force the above code to throw an exception, however, that does not seems to work. Here is how I implmented the abort function

if (false == ::DeviceIoControl(h, IOCTL_ADAPT_ABORT_PIPE,
                        &Address, sizeof(UCHAR),
                        NULL, 0,
                        &dwBytes, NULL))
                    {
                        throw std::exception("LowCyUsbDriver::Reset() - Input pipe IO request cannot be aborted.");
                    }

Is there another function I can use to force the IOCTL_ADAPT_SEND_NON_EP0_DIRECT to report an error state?

   

 

   

I really need it to report an error state so I know it has returned from the last capture and nothing should be done about the data that was captured.

   

 

   

Thank you!

Hi,

   

 

   

I would like to know if the CY3686 which is the NX2LP-Flex development kit includes the FX2LP development kit (CY3684)?

   

If it is the case, will the CY3686 be delivered with all the sources and firmwares for the two microcontrollers (FX2LP and NX2LP-Flex)?

   

We would like to develop a USB application but we do not know which one to use, if the CYCY86 is including the CY3684 then we will directly order the CY3686 and try the two USB microcontrollers.

   

Thank you in advance for your answer.

   

 

   

Jamal.

Hi,

   

 

   

I tried to use an (older ) CY3212-CapSense RevC Board from 2006 together with PSoC  Designer 5 .

   

The on board chip is a CY8C21001-24PVXI , but the orignal Projects on CD delivered together with the Kit are for the type CYC8C21434 .

   

Is a CYC8C21434 - Project  compatible  for using on  CY8C21001 ?

   

I could not find a datasheet for the CY8C21001.

   

 

   

Has anyone a link on Demonstartions Programs for the CY3212 - Kit with PD 5 ?

   

 

   

Thanks!

I am using the cy8c20546A as an i2c slave using the ezi2c module. When the master writes into the slave the ezi2c_anyactivity flag is getting set but the data is not available on the RAM buffer created. Why is this happening? Hoping for a reply at the earliest.
