Hello.

I'm trying to enable VCONN for CY4532.

I changed the hardware by the method of the link below.

https://community.infineon.com/t5/Knowledge-Base-Articles/Frequently-Asked-Questions-on-CY4532-CCG3P...

I also changed the firmware.

But the build is failing.

You will see an error message like the one pictured below.

SOKA_4605371_0-1645177707456.png

If the build method is wrong, please tell me how.

thank you.

Hello SOKA,

Thank you for posting on Infineon Community.

I apologize for the late reply.

We have checked the firmware changes present in the KBA on our side.
We were able to build the firmware with no issues.
This confirms that there is no problem with the default firmware or with the KBA.

Please try the changes once more from the beginning.

For this, go to new -> project -> select CYPD3171-24LQXQ_cla.
Before making any changes, go to "build" -> "generate application".
Then, please go over the changes described in the KBA, one by one.
If you are using the default firmware, there should be no build errors.

Best regards,
Pablo

Hello Pablo,

Thank you for your reply.

I proceeded with the method you notified me.

I applied the changes to enable VCONN and confirmed the following results.

Where is the folder where the HEX files that need to be applied to the EVK board are created?

Make sure the file below is correct.

Thank You.

Hello SOKA,

You can check the folder where the HEX file is by right-clicking the project and selecting properties.

Pablo_EG_0-1645430460326.png

You will see a window as shown above with the path where the project is stored.
Go to the folder shown there, "CYPD3171-24LQXQ_cla01.cydsn" in my case.
Inside this, travel to \CortexM0\ARM_GCC_541\Debug.
The HEX files can be found there.

There is no issue with the image you shared.

Best regards,
Pablo

Hello Pablo,

Thank you for your quick reply.

I checked the folder by the method you notified me.

However, I can't see the HEX file as below.

SOKA_4605371_0-1645431573913.png

What kind of process can I get the HEX file?

 

When I build using Shift + F6, I get an error.

Hello SOKA,

The HEX file is created once the build is successful.
I can see that you are still experiencing issues building the project.

Please create a NEW folder for the new project, and follow the same steps as in the KBA one by one.
The changes should work, as I have confirmed it today by building it after the changes with no errors.
Please make sure to use the latest PSoC Creator, with the latest Power SDK.
Also, consider restarting the program or your PC if nothing else works.

P.S.: By the way, I can see that the #if VCONN_SUPPORT_ENABLE condition in your main.c is at row 180, while mine is in row 182.
Please let me know what version of the Power SDK you are using.

Best regards,
Pablo

Hello SOKA,

What I meant is to share the version number of the Power SDK used.
This is the SDK in which the firmware is present.
Just to make sure, please download the latest Power SDK:
https://softwaretools.infineon.com/tools/com.ifx.tb.tool.ezpdpowersdk

Then, when selecting the project to open, select "Power SDK (CCG3PA)" as shown in the image.
Finally, select CYPD3171-24LQXQ_cla and go through the changes mentioned in the KBA.

Hello Pablo,

Thanks for the quick and friendly explanation.

While watching the explanation, I cleared the old version and proceeded with the update to the new version.

However, the Select Target Kit is disabled, as shown in the photo below.

Do you know which process I skipped?

Thank You.

Hello SOKA,

The image "1.PNG" does not show the Power SDK installer.
Instead, your image shows that you are installing EZPD Configuration Tool.
This is not the download I shared on my last post.

Please download the package I referred to.
When installing it, you should see the following window:

Pablo_EG_0-1645506434208.png

The title of the window says: CyInstaller for EZ-PD CCGx Power SDK 3.5

Let me know if the "Target Kit" option is selectable after this.

Best regards,
Pablo
