I am designing a new USB device that contains the Cypress EZ-USB FX chip. I am trying to download some very simple/basic firmware code to the EZ-USB FX chip through the Cypress USB Control Panel. Before I get too far, let me start this by saying that the device does enumerate as a Cypress EZ-USB - EEPROM Missing device. With that said, as soon as I select the .hex file to download firmwar...

Hi, I have a Cypress EZ-USB FX2 USB mass storage device. AFAIK firmware is only allowed to be downloaded to either the external EEPROM or internal RAM when the device either 1) Does not have an EEPROM, or 2) Has an empty EEPROM without any existing firmware When this happens, the host PC will load the Cypress generic driver(Cypress FX2 - No EEPROM(0x8613) rather than the default USB Ma...

To support various modules inside a machine. The likely architecture is a front end PC talking USB 2.0 to a Cypress FX2LP in the machine. That then splits the control work out to various nodes (spinner, motor, shutter, laser, etc), connected by a bus. a) CAN involves me in checking each message was received once and only once. There's not a lot of space in the Cypress for that sor...

If anybody out there has done any work with the Cypress EZ-USB FX2 device, specifically in getting it to continue to talk after the PC goes into standby mode (and comes out again). The Cypress sample code doesn't work and their technical support seem unwilling/unable to help. It also appears to do different things on different platforms and different versions of windows. For the most part,...

I am having terrible trouble explaining (what I think is) a bug in Cypress' software to their technical support. I fear others may have struggled too. Perhaps there are other bugs and we are all wasting time finding them. At least, I've not found anywhere where they are discussed and newly downloaded code is old. Anyway, for what it is worth, I believe: if(GotSUD) ...

We're using a Cypress 8bit PSoC device in a new product. We have a couple of their development kits ( I think they were about $300 ea). Well, one of the ICE-4000 units died recently after about a year and a half, though the other is working fine. I called a distributor to find out what to do about repair or buying a replacement. He checked into it and found that I should be able...

It has been a while since I looked at anything Cypress. I have a couple of PSOC something sticks that were fun to play with a bit, but I never used the CPU for a project. Now they have come out with a PSOC 6 with asymmetric dual processors, and M4 and a M0+ with an optional BLE radio and stack. Looks like they are using the M0+ to control the BLE and the M4 is for user code. I t

Hello Folks, After some Google searching and perusing the sites of the usual contenders I only found one uC family that has serious on-chip RF transceiver capabilities, the Cypress CYWUSB6953 and its brethren. rfPICs and others usually only have a transmitter. Anyhow, the Cypress will only serve 2.45GHz but I need the lower UHF bands for range reasons. Is anything coming down the pik...

Cypress is supposed to be working on an ARM version of the PSOC with greatly improved programmable blocks. When I was first told of it, here was a lot of confusion on whether it was going to be a CM3 or an ARM9 core. They said it would be out by the end of the year. Well, the year is half over and I would expect them to be talking about it a bit more now. Anyone heard any news?

Perhaps I'm merely having a "bad documentation day", but I'm having problems figuring out how to program the Cypress series of chips that contains the CY7C63310 and CY7C63801.

This seems to imply that they have a u...

Hi, I'm trying to modify the Cypress EZ-USB firmware for some added functionality, but I'm having some problems regarding running out of code space. It seems that when I call some of the EZUSB I2C library functions, my code space balloons by quite a bit. For example EZUSB_InitI2C would increase my code space by 500bytes. The default firmware already uses up over 6KB, which leaves me with a...
