Hi,
I cannot get the GPIOs working on my CY7C65211. What I have is:
-a working device configured as I2C + PC side software
-GPIO 11 appearing as "unused" in the Configuration Tool
-GPIO 11 alternatively configured as Driven 0/Driven1/Tristate - no change
-Briefly tried other GPIO ports too
My code line:
cyret = CySetGpioValue(cyhandle, 11, 1);
always returns CY_ERROR_REQUEST_FAILED. 'cyhandle' is valid, e.g.
CySetI2Config() accepts it.
Is there some GPIO-specific initialisation I need to run?
Should GPIOs be usable when the device is in I2C mode?
Is there any example source code that drive GPIO?
I have thus far only tested on Linux with the latest CyUSB SDK (Feb. 6, 2016), Ubuntu 16.04.
thanks,
kalle

Hi,
When you set CPIOx to Drive high in serial configuration utility, the GPIOx will output HIGH afer reset.

I found an GPIO example hidden in the Windows SDK package.
I tried to compile this, it wouldn't - turns out the example expects
"CY_DEVICE_SERIAL_BLOCK deviceBlock;" to be part of "CY_DEVICE_INFO",
which is restricted with "#ifdef WIN32".
Porting away these compile-time issues, the program still fails in CyOpen().
So my remaining questions now are:
-Should GPIOs work with a device configured as I2C?
-Should GPIOs work with non-windows hosts?
thanks,
kalle
p.s. I'd post my ported gpio.cpp, but Cypress' original example is "CONFIDENTIAL"

Doh - I forgot "CyGetDeviceInfoVidPid()" is broken on Linux.
Now working around that, I'm seeing the same failure to write GPIOs with the (now heavily modified) Cypress example code
as with my own.
I even tried swapping my device for the CYUSB234 devkit, in UART mode. No change.
So it seems GPIOs can be toggled only via Windows hosts. I hope Cypress can confirm (or better yet, disprove) this.

Hello Kalle Raiskila,
- The GPIOs would work even if the device is configured for I2C. You could test this with the example application code that comes with the USB Serial SDK http://www.cypress.com/documentation/software-and-drivers/usb-serial-software-development-kit. Also, ensure that the GPIOs are configured in the USB-Serial Configuration Utility before using them in the application.
- The API library can be used with Windows/Linux/Mac-OS.

Hi,
thank you for confirming the I2C & platform issue. So if it should work, I have an error somewhere.
I double checked - the GPIO I tried with was configured "Tristate" in the Configuration Utility's 'GPIO' section.
Now would you have examples that are known to work with GPIO on Linux? I could not find any GPIO examples in the Linux or Mac SDKs. The one in the Windows SDK didn't even compile out of the box. I'm afraid I messed it up when getting it running, since it don't work now.
The error I'm getting from libusb is a LIBUSB_ERROR_PIPE, form the libusb_control_transfer() in CySetGpioValue(),
which libusb documents as "the control request was not supported by the device"
Any ideas on what might be causing this?
thanks,
kalle

I managed to get the 'gpio' example compiled under Windows. It fails similarly 'CySetGpioValue()' returns CY_ERROR_REQUEST_FAILED. The example code is unmodified, GPIO_10 is configured as 'Tristsate', device is a CYUSBS234 DVK Board.
I had to do something Visual Studio named "Retarget solution", to Windows SDK 10. Does this break the example code?
Any suggestions welcome.

Hello Kalle Raiskila,
- Please configure the GPIO to HIGH/LOW in the USB-Serial Configuration Utility and check with the same host application.
- Retargeting to Windows SDK 10 does not harm the code.

Hi,
thanks, this got the example working, both on Linux and Windows.
Seems I never tried with Drive 1 / Drive 0 with the CYUSBS234, and the Cypress example, and I have some bug in my own software/board.
The datasheet does has a description of "DRIVE 1 Output static 1", which confused me.
Seems it is not 'static' but more of a 'reset value'? But why doesn't Tristating the output work?
Or does that mean it is high-Z-only?
EDIT: seems the API can only drive the GPIO to high or low, not to high-Z. At least not without flashing a new configuration set, which then seem to require a power cycle. So what I was trying to achieve is impossible with this chip.
