I am having the exact same problem as the initial poster. If anyone could answer our question on how they got their Cypress boad working that would be extremely helpful.
Edit:
We performed the steps in Post 3 from this thread and it fixed the issue for us:

It basically boiled down to programming the Cypress on a separate computer. I see you already tried that so I am sorry that I am unable to help. If you do get it figured out please post the solution.
