PSoC™ Creator & Designer Forum Discussions
I have two machines running Cypress Designer. My main machine is running Cypress Designer 5.1 build 1875 and I wanted to ensure that the new Cypress updates didn't break anything so I created a new XP machine and installed Cypress Deisnger 5.1 and updated it to build 2110. The only other difference between these XP machines is that the new XP machine has all the current Windows updates while the older machine does not.
I opened a known good designer app, that was working on my old machine, on my new machine and pressed F6 (generate/build). I get an error that says "psocmakemake.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." I have the option of "Send Error Report" or "Don't Send" (to Microsoft I presume). After pressing "Don't Send" the Output frame shows:
I'am getting this error, while attempting to open a project in recent psoc designer 5.2 SP1.
Using windows 7 64bit. Error message says about resinstalling Adobe SVG Viewer. It does't solve the problem.
Now from what I've found, there is internet explorer 8 in system requirements of psoc designer (min 7 version)

I'm using modified version of windows 7, with removed internet explorer entirely, and it is not possible to install it (since it was removed in the process of creating system instalation files, as system is meant to be used with other browser).
Is there a way to run psoc designer on windows operating system without internet explorer installed? Or maybe there is a compontent that is missing, that can be installed separately, in order to make psoc designer to work, without installing entire internet explorer.
Show LessHi,
I'm trying to install PSoC Creator and the FirstTouch Kit for PSoC3 (CYC8KIT-003)
PSoC Creator seems to be installed OK, but when I try to install the PSoC 3 FirstTouch Starter Kit, I'm hitting a problem during the prerequsites stage.
The installer shows one of the prerequisites as Keil Compiler, and give a link to download it, but the download link does not work.
I installed PSoC Creator from the ISO image donwloaded from this site.
Where can I download the Keil Compiler component?
Show LessToday the Cypress Update Manager on my PC told me there was an update to PSoC Programmer.
I allowed it to do the 'update' but instead all it did was un-install my existing PSoC Programmer which left me with no programmer and with PSoC Creator unable to program devices also.
I maually downloaded the installer from the Cypress website - but it just ran to completion without actually installing anything. It briefly showed that it was "repairing PSoC Creator".
Anyway, I managed to get it re-installed by going to the windows control panel and removing the remnants of PSoC Programmer there and then re-running the installer which I had downloaded from the cypress site.
However, with the latest PSoC Programmer I am now getting this error in both 'Programmer' and 'Creator 2.0'. The error reads:
Error: dbg.M0023: There was an error while programming the device: PSoC Programmer reported error (100 - FAILED! User NVLs update failed. This operation can be completed in voltage range 1.8 - 3.3 V only.)
Dear Cypress community, I tried the new SD memory communications module for PSoC5.
When I tried to build the project with this module, i got MMC_X_HW.h not there fatal error type 1.
I checked directories for the unizipped downloaded file and found it. Then dropped into the header file but still Creator 2.0 could not find it. Am I doing something wrong? the steps to install the module seemed relatively straightforward.
Cheers.
Show LessI have been fighting for about 10 hours now with a very weird problem in Creator that I got after splitting my code.
I wrote a function and header file to control an external DAC component. The DAC Write function is called from the initializer.c function which has a header file for the DAC function included. This should have worked as it did for other functions and header files I created.
My code stopped working and while I was checking this with the debugger I discovered the strangest thing: all the variables in the code (visible as you put the mouse pointer over the variable during a break state) are 0!!
If I put // in front of the function call to the DAC write the problem goes away and if I put it back it persists.
I have exhausted all my options and seriously believe there is some fundamental flaw either in Creator or in Eclipse.
Has somebody else seen this problem before and is there a solution for this problem?
Any help is very much appreciated!
Show LessHi,
According to knowledge base, the timer_writeCounter() API has problems, was it fixed in the the latest release or we should still use the workaround?
Tks
Show LessAs I am a bit older now, I have to look more frequently into different files checking for declarations, names #defines etc.
In PSoC Creator is a worthy function: when right-clicking on a #include - directive the pop-up menu shows the option "Open Include File" which really saves a number of mouse-clicks, searching and sniffing for the requested file.
I'd like to see this function in Creator (2.1?)
