PSoC Designer 5.3 http://www.cypress.com/?rID=41083 New Features

PSoC Designer 5.3 contains a host of upgrades to make the software easier to learn for and easier to use. New features include:
Download Help


Auto-routing: Vastly simplifies wiring the connections in the chip view, making it easier to learn for beginners and quicker to use for experts. Simply shift+click on a block port and a number of glowing, golden lines will show you all the possible destinations. A second click on one of those highlighted locations and you're done! This works on analog routes as well as digital routes, block-to-block or block-to-pin.

Upgraded device catalog: It is now far quicker and easier to find the device for your project. You can filter the device list based on chip characteristics (such as pin count, package or available peripherals) or by typing in a substring of your part number. You can also save frequently used devices as favorite and see the supported user module list for any device at a glance.

Cleaner user module customization: Designer 5.3 makes it far simpler to customize user modules, providing two ways to modify their behavior. First, user modules can be copied and renamed, allowing users to change the hardware configuration or APIs. These customer user modules become part of your UM library and may be used in any PSoC Designer project. You can also export these customer user modules to a single zip file and import them into any other version of Designer 5.3 or later.

For smaller changes, we have also made it easier to change the APIs for a user module instance in your project. Simply right-click on your user module instance and you can lock it, preventing any future “Generate Project” commands from over-writing your changes.

Other ease-of-use enhancements: Cypress applications engineers have specified 12 user interface changes to make the chip view more readable and usable, including the ability to zoom with the scrollwheel. In addition, we have streamlined the project creation GUI, minimizing excess clicks. Finally, we give you the ability archive your projects.

New User Modules

PSoC Designer 5.3 contains a 8 completely new user modules. Four of the existing user modules have received significant upgrades as well.

VoltageSequencer allows you to control the ramp rates and delays between your power supplies with a simple GUI.

SMBusSlave allows your PSoC to communicate with this widely used system management protocol.

FanController will control up to four fans using hardware PWM blocks in either open loop or closed loop (with tachometer) modes.

Thermistor provides the hardware interface and software APIs to measure temperature with compensation via lookup table or the Steinhart-Hart equation.

SmartSense2X eliminates the need for tuning in your dual-channel CapSense solutions. Available for CY8C2xx45 devices.

CSD2X has been enhanced to provide support for background scanning and FMEA support, which detects faults in your system.

GasSensorAFE implements a bias circuit and transimpedance amplifier to measure the output of a 3-lead electrochemical sensor with current output.

SwitchCapConfig allows easier configuration of the programmable analog blocks such that you can quickly build amplifiers, integrators and comparators with them.

EzADC streamlines the setup of your ADCs, minimizing the possibility of erroneous clocking or sample rates.

Finally, the filter accuracy of LPF2 and BPF2 have been improved up to 5%

GPIF™ II Designer http://www.cypress.com/?rID=59628

The GPIF II Designer is a graphical software that allows designers to configure the GPIF II interface of the EZ-USB FX3 USB 3.0 Device Controller.  

The tool allows users the ability to select from one of five Cypress supplied interfaces, or choose to create their own GPIF II interface from scratch.  Cypress has supplied industry standard interfaces such as Asynchonous and Synchronous Slave FIFO, Asynchronous and Synchronous SRAM, and Asynchronous SRAM.  Designers who already have one of these pre-defined interfaces in their system can simply select the interface of choice, choose from a set of standard parameters such as bus width (x8, 16, x32) endianess, clock settings, and compile the interface.  The tool has a streamlined three step GPIF interface development process for users who need a customized interface.  Users are able to first select their pin configuration and standard parameters.  Secondly, they can design a virtual state machine using configurable actions. Finally, users can view output timing to verify that it matches the expected timing.  Once the three step process is complete, the interface can be compiled and integrated with FX3.

USB UART Config Utility http://www.cypress.com/?rID=61047 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 06:04:52 -0600 CY7C09449PV-AC Software Development Kit (SDK) http://www.cypress.com/?rID=14428 CY7C09449PV-AC Software Development Kit (SDK)

Included in this kit are Windows drivers, demonstration applications, and documentation of the software provided. The applications themselves serve as documentation on how to interface with the drivers, and also may be used to test the Peripheral Component Interface-Dual Port (PCI-DP(R)) on the user's target board.

The supplied Windows drivers are not production quality and not tested except to function with the provided PC demonstration programs, TEST0449, and Perf42.

Installation Instructions

This version of the CY7C09449PV SDK is for Windows 95/98/2000/NT users.

  1. Download the file CY7C09449PV_SDK.zip [13.3 MB].
  2. Locate the file on your PC and extract the file to a folder on your desktop.
  3. Make sure to read the readme.txt file before using the software.

If you are installing a board in Windows 95/98 or Windows 2000, install the board and start your system. The Windows wizard will prompt you for an installation disk. Reference the folder where you saved the SDK and it will automatically install the kernel driver. To install in the Windows 95/98 or Windows 2000 development environment, run the Install.exe application located in the root directory of the folder and follow the directions. If you are installing a board in Windows NT, install the board and start your system. To install the kernel driver and/or the Windows NT development environment, run the Install.exe application located in the root directory of the folder and follow the directions.

Using the Software After Setup is Complete

Once setup is complete, you can run the Test0449.exe file from the directory where you installed the development environment. Test0449 is a baseline application intended to illustrate the use of the Cypress-provided drivers. It exercises the PCI-DP by using each of the functions in the (minimal) driver library. It functions properly with a PCI-DP connected to the PCI bus and does not require a target CPU on the PCI add-in card itself. This is the first application the user should run to test the operation of the PCI-DP and to make sure the software and hardware are installed properly. The Test0449 application tests all the major functions of the CY7C09449PV-AC and is a very good example of how to get started using the chip. It shows how to use the library to interface to the hardware driver.

Run Perf42 by selecting perf42.exe from the directory where you installed the development environment. Perf42 is an application that continuously tests direct memory access (DMA) performance on the PCI add-in card. Its operation is described in the documentation. It is a good demonstration application to show the PCI-DP in continuous operation and it features an animated front-end application. Various parameters of the DMA transfers may be adjusted through a graphical user interface.

Bitcalc http://www.cypress.com/?rID=14440 Bitcalc is a Cypress-developed software tool designed to support our older frequency synthesizers (prefix ICD). Specifically, the program automatically calculates the serial programming word to use for a required frequency.

 

For installation instructions, please read the readme file after executing the self-extracting, executable file (bc_3e.exe).

 

Bitcalc requires a PC running MS Windows 3.1x, Windows 95/98, or Windows NT. Note: The current version of Bitcalc is Bitcalc3, which was released in May, 1996. Cypress has since developed several new frequency synthesizers that are not supported by Bitcalc.

Known Problems and Solutions for PSoC Designer 5.1 Beta 2 http://www.cypress.com/?rID=43817
#CategoryProblemSolution/Work AroundCY CDT#
1 BootloaderCloned projects that contain a bootloader user module do not generate the correct boot.tpl.1. Right click on the bootloader and select "Boot Loader Tools".
2. Select Get Files.
3. Rebuild
60161
2BootloaderHex file out of date message when attempting to program after running Boot Loader Tools wizard.Click "Yes" and proceed with programming.  Alternatively, save (possibly even rebuild) the project again (even if it was just built). This will be fixed in the production release of PD5.1.76157
3CompileFor projects that use the Hi-Tech compiler, you may not be able to set breakpoints on some source code lines.The Hi-Tech compiler optimizes-out (removes from compiler output) statements that it deems of no consequence to the execution of the program. Set the breakpoint on a subsequent source code line.44429
4CompileEQU cannot be used inside a macro with the ImageCraft compiler. That is, there is no substitution inside the macro other than the parameters used to pass values into it.No workaround at this time.44438
5CompileImageCraft Compiler: Turning on sublimation option causes designs with USBFS UM to fail.This will be fixed in the production release of PD5.1.  See http://www.cypress.com/?id=4&rID=39789 for more information. Please contact Cypress Applications if you need help with a workaround.45559
6CompileImageCraft Compiler hangingIn the case of a very complex single expression the compiler may fail to complete the compile. This will result in PSoC Designer hanging during the display of the "Generate Project Status" dialog window. To unhang the build, the process "iccomm8c.exe" can be ended using Task Manager. Then the complex expression can be rewritten into multiple simpler expressions.47476
7CompileThe latest ImageCraft compiler is reporting an error "operands of = have illegal types `pointer to const char' and `pointer to char'". This was not seen previously.The new compiler is more strict than the previous compiler. The previous compiler would allow a statement such as:
  const char *cptr;
  cptr = (char *) 0x3000;

The new compiler will generate an error and you must change this code to:
  const char *cptr;
  cptr = (const char *) 0x3000;
Although the original code is legal C, the ImageCraft compiler generates an error because it uses the const specifier to indicate that the data will be stored in flash. This special meaning of const means that pointers to a const location are different from a normal pointer and therefore a standard pointer cannot be assigned to a const pointer.
47744
8CompileCan't JMP forward across a "return" statement. With the ImageCraft compiler, multiple return statements in a function may cause an error if they are not part of an if-then-else statement. For example, code that uses multiple return statements with inline assembly may fail.  Example: This code will fail:
  
   asm("mov a, reg[0]"); // inline assembly - check value in register 0
   asm("jz Label0:"); // inline assembly, jump
   return 1; // c return statement
   asm("Label0:"); // inline assembly label
   return 0; // c return statement
Workaround: Don't use multiple return statements except in if-then-else statements. Either use an extra variable or build the return statements into an if-then-else statement. Example of workaround using an extra variable:

   int ReturnValue = 0;
  
   asm("mov a, reg[0]"); // inline assembly - check value in register 0
   asm("jz Label0:"); // inline assembly, jump
   ReturnValue = 1; // set variable
   asm("Label0"); // inline assembly label
   return ReturnValue; // c return statement
48504
9CompileThe ImageCraft Compiler - "map file does not contain __text_end symbol" linker error.If no information exists in a project for the linker to put into the "text" area, the compiling/linking process fails with error "map file does not contain __text_end symbol". To work around this issue, add two lines to a .c file somewhere like:

#pragma text:text
asm("nop");


Those two lines will add a one line program to the text area consisting only of a nop.
52269
10CompileProject Settings of ImageCraft Pro are not inherited from ImageCraft STD project.Please manually adjust the settings in Project->Settings when changing compilers.  This will be fixed in an upcoming release.70113
11CompileSublimation & Condensation break my design.Care must be taken to not break the rules defined in section 10.4 of C Language user's guide, "Code Compressor and the AREA Directive". If you believe you have this issue and need help, contact Cypress Applications  contact Cypress Applications (http://www.cypress.com/support) with the CDT #s.67628, 68335, 71314
12DebugA field of a structure cannot be watched independently from the whole structure. That is, you cannot add just one field of a struct to the Watch Window.If you want to watch the fields of a struct, add the struct instance itself to the Watch Window. Then, expand the node of the variable in the Watch Window to see the struct's fields. 26080
13DebugFor projects that use the Hi-Tech compiler, the values of pointer variables shown in the Watch Window sometimes differ from what is reported in the memory window.The value of the pointer shown in the Watch Window is the true value of the pointer variable. Use the value displayed in the Watch Window for debugging purposes.44441
14Dev - CY22x45Analog BUS connections in the Chip Editor do not match CSD2X Wizard values for CY22x45 devices.;No workaround. This issue does not affect the project's functionality and will be fixed in the next release. 76478
15Dev CY8C28xxxThe analog column numbers of some CY8C28xxx devices in PSoC Designer do not match the column numbers given in the Technical Reference Manual for CY8C28xxx devicesIn these cases, the column numbers in PSoC Designer are incorrect. This should be accounted for when correlating data in the Technical Reference Manual (TRM) with what is seen in the Chip View of PSoC Designer.56662
16Device - encore VADCINC User Module issue: range of count values halved for CY7C604X5/6 and CY7C643x5/6 devices.If you need help with a work around, contact Cypress Applications (http://www.cypress.com/support). Please refer to CDT 68971. This will be addressed in the production release of PD5.1.68971
17GeneralCannot Open Moved/Renamed PD Projects.This may occur when the workspace folder is renamed or copied with a different name. Workspace copies should be made with the "Save Workspace As" feature available from the File menu, i.e. File -> Save Workspace As48971
18GeneralError message "Invalid Project Structure. Name of the folder that contains project's '.cmx' file must match '.cmx' file name". This may occur when the workspace folder is renamed or copied with a different name. Workspace copies should be made with the "Save Workspace As" feature available from the File menu, i.e. File -> Save Workspace As48971
19GeneralIf the decimator is used in the base configuration and a dynamic configuration overlay is loaded, the Decimator Control Register 2 (DEC_CR2, address 1,E7h) will be incorrectly modified. This will affect the operation of any user module in the base configuration that requires the decimator (e.g. ADC).In PsoCConfig.asm, in the LoadConfig function of the overlay, comment out the line that modifies the DEC_CR2 register as follows:
; writing Type2Decimator_Control register
; M8C_SetBank1
; and reg[e7h], ~c8h
M8C_SetBank1

Note: The psocconfig.asm code will be overwritten when the application is regenerated, so this code will need to get commented out again after regenerating
61919
20GeneralLarge fonts may garble PSoC Designer menus. When Display Properties->Appearance-> Font size is set to a larger font size or the monitor DPI setting is set to larger number, some of the PSoC Designer menu items are not displayed properly.Switch to smaller font size or DPI setting.64310
21GeneralSome PSoC parts become unresponsive after watchdog timer reset. Some PSoC 1 customers have observed that with certain firmware running, some parts may reset and become unresponsive. This happens when a watchdog timer reset is followed by a failure to clear the watchdog timer before another reset is asserted. This problem is heavily influenced by the trimmed and untrimmed IMO and ILO frequencies. It is also influenced by the firmware used by the customer, specifically by how quickly in boot.asm the watchdog timer is cleared.The resolution to the problem involves changing firmware and screening parts for low IMO frequencies and high ILO frequencies.74542
22GeneralChanging a user module name makes the previous selection's pinout settings disappear from its parameters. This problem happens only when controlling pinout settings through UM parameters.An instruction has been added in the boot.tpl/boot.asm files to clear the Watch Dog Timer (WDT) immediately before enabling the WDT. This occurs near the beginning of the boot files. This is to prevent a subsequent Watch Dog Reset (WDR) from occurring within this boot firmware if a Watch Dog Reset has occurred. 75309
23Install/UninstallUninstalling PSoC Designer 5.1 prompts the user to reboot.It is not necessary to reboot. This will be fixed in the next release.48505
24User Module - CSDThe CSD User Module for CY8C20xx6/A family does not have Radial Slider APIs. This results in an undefined symbol '_CSD_wGetCentroidPos' error.This will be fixed in the production release of PD5.1.76264
25User Module - TS2000For the CY8C20336H, CY8C20346H, and CY8C20446H devices, the "SharpClick" effect is not precisely correct when "Sanyo NRS-2574i" actuator is selected. The workaround is to place the following code after the TS2000_Start() function:

TS2000_SharpClick[7] = 0x20;"
