Differn't Cypress I/O usage

[elmer_fud]

Is it possible to use a different Cypress I/O module than the one supplied in the kit of parts. I messed up and ordered the PSOC 5 board (same layout except black instead of blue) and our computer will see it but we can not load the First program on to it.

One I ordered

One that comes with the KOP

Thanks,

I don't think the rules prohibit it, but that doesn't mean it will work with the DS as a drop-in replacement.

I'd think your options are to see if they will swap for the correct one, or see if you can program it using the hex file. I suspect the hex for one model will not work for the others. If you do get it to work, please post how.

You would have to recompile the FIRST source (http://firstforge.wpi.edu/sf/frs/do/listReleases/projects.wpilib/frs.cypress_driver_station_i_o_firmw) for the new target.


There was a thread (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=89484) where other people mentioned having the same problem.

I downloaded the source but get this error when I try to open either the workspace or project file:

Error: prj.M0052: Unable to open the project "": (Unexpected xml node type encountered: Element, expected: EndElement). Address the error and try again.


I tried downloading a new copy, but the same thing happens. Ideas?

I looked at the source code and the PSOC programmer. I think I can use the PSOC 5 but I will lose some functionality. I was able to compile it and download it to the PSOC though.

I should add the only thing I did was update the psoc creator and change the device by project>> device selector

Solved my own problem - just had to update the Cypress software.
