PSoC® Programmer Release Notes Version 3.29.0 SRN231095
New Features for PSoC Programmer 3.29.0
KitProg3 v2.10 support
PSoC Programmer 3.29.0 supports the new KitProg3 v2.10 firmware to work with PSoC 4, PSoC 5LP, and PSoC 6 MCU devices via PSoC Programmer and PSoC Creator tools. KitProg3 v2.10 offers enhanced USB-I2C/SPI bridging implemented on bulk endpoints what speeds-up USB communication.
You can also get the latest version of KitProg3 delivered with the Firmware Loader available at the Cypress GitHub repository.
Support for new part numbers
PSoC Programmer 3.29.0 provides support for new part numbers within CCG3PA, PAG1S, USB-SC product lines.
Resolved Issues
This release includes the following defect fixes:
ID
Description
PROGTOOL Read operation was displaying extra flash protection data for CCG3PA. S-1322
Known Issues
This section lists the known issues with this release:
ID
PROGTOOL S-1838
Problem
Starting from KitProg3 v2.10, when KitProg3 is in CMSIS-DAP Bulk mode, it is not possible to debug and use USBI2C/SPI bridging (for example, in the CapSense® Tuner, Bridge Control Panel) at the same time.
Workaround
If you would like to use debug and USB-I2C/SPI bridging at the same time, there are two possible workarounds:
· If performance for programming and debug is not critical, switch KitProg3 to CMSIS-DAP HID mode via the fw-loader utility. Firmware Loader is installed with ModusToolbox software, and is available separately on GitHub.
· If you need faster performance for programming and debug, use the onboard KitProg3 for programming purposes and MiniProg4 for bridging purposes or vice versa. Both devices can be in CMSIS-DAP bulk mode.
298838 229008
Device operation (Program/Verify/ Erase/Checksum) fails for PSoC 6 and FM0+ devices using MiniProg3 with SWD/JTAG protocol speed above 12 MHz.
MiniProg3 is not detected when the host is using USB3.0 connected through some USB host controllers.
Re-plug MiniProg3 after failure. Use up to 12 MHz SWD/JTAG protocol speed when programming or debugging PSoC 6 and FM0+ devices using MiniProg3.
If you observe this issue, use USB 2.0 for MiniProg3 connection.

PSoC® Programmer Release Notes Version 3.29.0 SRN231095
Known Limitations
The following are the known limitations related to KitProg3 v2.10: In some cases, Windows 7 does not recognize the KitProg3 bridge, so USB-I2C/SPI bridge devices are not available in either CMSIS-DAP HID or CMSIS-DAP bulk mode. After updating to KitProg3 v2.10, debug/programming tools such as PSoC Creator, PSoC Programmer, and Bridge Control Panel cannot connect to a device. An example of this behavior is that KitProg3 device is available but cannot be selected in the tool.
The following are the known limitations in PSoC Programmer 3.29.0: PSoC 6 MCU support: to use the JTAG protocol, the device flash should be erased or contain an application that has JTAG selected in PSoC Creator ('Debug Select' option in System Tab):
When either SWD (default) or GPIO is selected in this option, JTAG pins are disabled in the user application start-up code. This causes PSoC Programmer or 3rd party tools to be unable to access the device using JTAG protocol.
When using standard CMSIS-DAP programmer/debugger, the device flash should be erased or contain an application that has SWD or JTAG selected in PSoC Creator ('Debug Select' option in System Tab). When GPIO is selected in this option, debug pins are disabled in start-up code of user application. PSoC Programmer or 3rd party tools then cannot access the device. The only option for accessing the device, when debug pins are configured as GPIO, is to enter Cypressspecific Test Mode, which is not supported with standard CMSIS-DAP transport. This can be done using following programmers: MiniProg3, MiniProg4, KitProg3 and using KitProg1 or KitProg2 in proprietary mode.
PSoC 6 MCU support: for programming and debugging operations, the System Access Port (AP[0]) of SWJ-DP unit and either the Access Port for CM0+ core (AP[1]) or the Access Port for CM4 core (AP[2]) must be enabled in device access restrictions settings (Normal Access Restrictions in SFlash for NORMAL life-cycle stage or Secure Access Restriction in eFuse).
Device operation (Program/Verify/Erase/Checksum) fails for S6E1Axx Kits, connected via MiniProg3, if performed quickly right after "Toggle Power" operation. This is known issue in MiniProg3 firmware. To avoid this, please wait for four seconds after power is toggled before doing further steps.
Programming of TrueTouch, Clock, and CCGx devices via MiniProg4 is not guaranteed. Customers who wish to work with these devices should use MiniProg3 programmer.
Scripts or applications based on PSoC Programmer's COM or Command Line interfaces will stop working after KitProg2 to KitProg3 firmware upgrade IF they are using hardcoded strings for the name of KitProg2 Port. Such scripts have to be modified with the new Port name, which can be obtained from PSoC Programmer's GUI or using "GetPorts" API.

PSoC® Programmer Release Notes Version 3.29.0 SRN231095
Custom checksum operation is not supported for PSoC 5LP devices which contains an application that disables the debug pins ('Debug Select' option in System Tab of PSoC Creator's project is set to GPIO).
The full list of the legacy limitations is available in KBA210619.

Update Instructions
As part of the installation process, the Cypress Update Manager utility is also installed and located on the Start menu under the Cypress folder. You can use this utility to update all the programs you installed when updates for these become available.
Follow the instructions provided by the CyInstaller.
Check for the software updates to the Cypress PSoC development tools on the following web pages:
PSoC Software Tool PSoC Designer PSoC Creator PSoC Programmer
Link http://www.cypress.com/go/psocdesigner http://www.cypress.com/go/psoccreator http://www.cypress.com/go/psocprogrammer
Installation Notes
The installation process is a set of wizards that walks you through installing various components. You can install PSoC Programmer from the web.
Note Do not plug in any programming hardware until the software installation is complete.
Web Installation 1. Double-click the PSoC Programmer executable file to launch the PSoC Programmer installer. 2. Follow the prompts to install PSoC Programmer and various drivers. 3. When complete, close the installer.
Note that installation may fail when using the web because of firewall or administrator privileges. Contact your IT support for assistance
Cypress PSoC Kit Installation
A kit installer contains PSoC Programmer and may contain additional applications (such as PSoC Creator), documentation, and prerequisites needed for the associated kit. Both an executable installer and an ISO image are available on the kit webpage. The installation process is like that for PSoC Programmer, although the items or applications installed will vary. PSoC Programmer will be one of them.
Device Driver Re-Installation
Drivers for all Cypress devices are installed along with PSoC Programmer. Drivers are removed from the system during uninstallation of PSoC Programmer.
If you need to re-install drivers manually, do the following: 1. Navigate to the PSoC Programmer root installation directory. 2. Open the Drivers folder and run driverui.bat to uninstall current drivers. 3. Run the driver.bat file. This will install drivers from this PSoC Programmer release.
Coexistence with Older PSoC Programmer Releases
Only one version of PSoC Programmer can be installed in the system. During the installation of a new PSoC Programmer version, the previous one is removed. If you have an older version of PSoC Programmer (3.06 or below), uninstall it first and then proceed with installation of the latest release.
