miracoli / arduino_hssp Goto Github PK

This is more of a question than a bug report, but I don't know of any other way of asking it.

To allow the Arduino to power cycle the board being programmed, Vdd can't be connected directly to one of the Arduino GPIO pins, because the board would draw too much current, right?

If so, would the correct solution be to use a transistor to control Vdd from the Arduino?
It looks like you used power cycle (not XRES) to initialize ISSP mode, so how did you wire yours?

Thanks.

Hi Dirk,
thanks a lot for your work, this would be super useful to me. I designed a board using CY8C20636A24LTXI, based on Trill Craft. I also ordered a CY8KIT-147 to get a KitProg2, in order to be able to program my board. I assumed it would be possible since in Cypress docs there's a table that links PsoC1 devices to KitProg1, KitProg2 and KitProg3.
I already have an hex file for my project, so I just need to program the board using Psoc Programmer. Anyway, when I connect the KitProg2 to my PC i can't see the CY8C20 family in the target device list. Also, many of the programmer options are locked (pins number, programming mode and others).

Reading on the developer community I found out that I need a MiniProg1, but it's out of production, so your solution is probably the best one at the moment. How can I include the code prom PsoC designer or the hex file in order to flash it to the PsoC1 MCU?

Thanks,
Daniele
