Hello

I need to externally (set high and low) control the CYSPP pin on the CYBT-323026-01 module. I am running the latest 1.2.29 EZ-Serial firmware. I understand from the EZ-Serial datasheet (https://www.cypress.com/file/452971/download), table 8-2 that the host should be able to pull this pin low in order to put the module into CYSPP mode, and then high to exit.

I am unable to override the default boot-state of the CYSPP pin using my mcu GPIO. I have the GPIO pin connected through a voltage divider to bring the voltage down from 5v->3.3v, and have set the pin output to low. This does not override the default boot state of high, and the module is not switching to CYSPP mode.

The only way I can enter CYSPP mode is to manually ground the pin, but this is not feasible for my application.

Is there an easy way to control this pin high/low?

Thanks

Thanks for your response Owen

I ended up solving this by using a transistor to ground the pin when my GPIO was set high. This has seemed to solve the problem for my purposes.

Can you change the drive mode of the host MCU? When the output is high, it is high impedance mode; when the output is low, it is connected to GND. Then you can connect the Pin directly to the module.

@Owen_Zhang123 I have a related question regarding the CONN pin. I am trying to monitor this pin with my 5v mcu to track successful connections.

When connected directly as a digital output to my mcu, the CONN pin is unreliable and doesn't consistently output logic level 1 whilst connected, but rather flips high for a split second before outputting low.

Is there a wiring / interfacing guide for Cypress modules?

Thanks
