How to write EEPROM of PSoC3 while programming new firmware?

It is very easy, using the API to write a data in EEPROM.

but, i want to know write a data in EEPROM just once when i write new firmware.

maybe, it is possible write a data through miniprog3.

is it possible?

Please reply a solution.

I do not see in Miniprog3 user manual any references to programming

EEPROM in addition to FLASH, or for that matter any output hex file

format that includes EEPROM data from the linker. The only api I see

that can put anything into EEPROM is Keil MON51, and appears to be

restricted to the debugger.

 

You could always consider a modified bootloader that could have the

additional capability of running EEPROM APIs.

 

Regards, Dana.

The PSoC programmer user guide (version 3.15.1) says in part 2.12:

Because the PSoC 3 and PSoC 5 hex files do not describe EEPROM data; PSoC Programmer does not support EEPROM
programming from the GUI. PSoC Programmer allows you to clear EEPROM data after programming PSoC 3 and PSoC 5
chips...

So this leaves only the boot loader method dana mentioned.
