If some eFuse bits have been already programmed before, a warning message "The efuse bit at address xx has been already blown" appears in Log.

The chip-level protection mechanism restricts access of the programmer application to silicon resources. In this mode, access to flash, SRAM, and most of the registers in the PSOC™ 4, PMG1, PAG2s, and CCGx are disabled.

If you try to connect ModusToolbox™ Programmer to a chip-protected PSOC™ 4/CCGx device, a warning message indicates that the device is in protected mode. The only available operation is Erase device in this case.

Use the Erase button to clear chip protection and move target to the open state.

The Infineon PSOC™ Control C3 and PSOC™ Edge E8 series support secure debug/programming by using AP access authentication with a signed debug token. PSOC™ Control and PSOC™ Edge AP access authentication is implemented in appropriate “.pex” script files. Full information about the secure flow can be found on these webpages:

https://kb.segger.com/Infineon_PSOC_Control_C3_Debug_Port_Authentication

https://kb.segger.com/Infineon_PSoC_Edge_E8_Debug_Port_Authentication

This feature is supported by AIROC™ CYW20829 devices, as well as PSOC™ Edge E84, XMC7100/7200 and CYT4Bx MCUs. It allows you to specify the patched flashloader file in FLM format along with the appropriate QSPI configuration. Patched flashloaders contain data about how your external memory is configured.

1. Connect the device to the host computer and select it in the Programmer/Board ID, Board Name, and Device drop-downs.
2. Select the programming file as described in the Load programming file section.
3. Select the External Memory option under Program Settings (if supported).
4. Click on the Flashloader option under Program Settings and select the patched flashloader (FLM) file in the dialog.
   The path will display under Settings.
   

   

   
   
5. Connect to the device (see Connect device).
6. Click the Program button.

This procedure is based on the SEGGER "J-Link Device Support Kit" article (https://kb.segger.com/J-Link_Device_Support_Kit). It lets you supply a custom flashloader for your specific external QSPI flash and program it through a J-Link probe. As an example, we program the external Octal-SPI flash on the PSOC™ Edge E84 Evaluation Kit.

1. Locate the JLinkDevices folder on your system as described in the "JLinkDevices folder" section of the "J-Link Device Support Kit" article. Create it if it does not exist.
2. Go to the mtb-programmer install location (on Windows: C:\Infineon\Tools\ModusToolboxProgtools-2.0\mtb-programmer) and copy the flashloader scripts\CAT1D\PSE84_OCTAL_DDR_SFDP_SMIF.FLM into the JLinkDevices folder.
   Note:

   The Loader path in the XML below is resolved relative to the XML file. Keep the .FLM file in the same folder as the XML you create in step 3.
3. In the JLinkDevices folder, create a new XML file (for example, Devices.xml) and define a new device that inherits from the base PSE846GP_EPC2_M33 device and overrides its SMIF flash banks with the custom loader, as described in the "Adding a flash loader" section of the article:

   <DataBase>
     <Device InheritFrom="PSE846GP_EPC2_M33">
       <ChipInfo Vendor="Infineon" Name="PSE846GP_EPC2_M33_octal_sfdp"/>
       <FlashBankInfo Name="SMIF0_NS" BaseAddr="0x60000000" MaxSize="0x08000000" Loader="PSE84_OCTAL_DDR_SFDP_SMIF.FLM" LoaderType="FLASH_ALGO_TYPE_CMSIS" AlwaysPresent="0" />
       <FlashBankInfo Name="SMIF0_S" BaseAddr="0x70000000" MaxSize="0x08000000" Loader="PSE84_OCTAL_DDR_SFDP_SMIF.FLM" LoaderType="FLASH_ALGO_TYPE_CMSIS" AlwaysPresent="0" />
     </Device>
   </DataBase>

   Note:

   0x60000000 (non-secure) and 0x70000000 (secure) are two address views of the same physical device. Set MaxSize to at least the size of the region you program. For the 1 Gbit (128 MByte) part in this example, use 0x08000000; adjust it to match your flash.
4. Connect the J-Link probe and the PSE84 target to the host, start mtb-programmer, select the J-Link probe, and choose the newly created PSE846GP_EPC2_M33_octal_sfdp device in the Device drop-down.
   
   
   
   
5. Select the programming file as described in the Load programming file section.
6. Under Program Settings, enable the External Memory option.
7. Click Connect, then click Program.

1. Connect the device to the host computer and perform recover device procedure as described in How to recover AIROC™ Bluetooth® devices on failure.
2. Click the Programmer pull-down and select 'WICED Bluetooth-PortXX' programmer.
   
   
   
   
   Note:

   The CYW9M2BASE-43012BT board should be switched to Dual UART mode first, otherwise the WICED Bluetooth® programmer will be unavailable in the Board Name pull-down menu. To do this, press the hardware 'Mode' button on the Kit, hold it for 3 seconds, then release it.
3. Open the Board Name pull-down and select the appropriate board name (e.g., CYW955513EVK-01)
4. Select the programming file as described in the Load programming file section.
5. Connect to the device (see Connect device).
6. Click the Program button.

ModusToolbox™ Programmer programs the device and displays various messages in the Log. Then, a message in the Status Bar indicates that the device was programmed successfully or that an error occurred.

Some KitProg3 development kits were released to market with missing board configuration in the EEPROM. In this case, the Programmer/Board ID displays the kit as generic KitProg3 device as:

KitProg3 CMSIS-DAP Bulk-1014091C02179400

Some development kits may require updating the name of the board after changing SOM modules on them for example:

KIT_PSE84_EVAL_EPC2 (EPC4).

1. Click on the Board Preferences button to update the name of your kit. The Board Preferences dialog opens.
2. As needed, click on the Show all boards check box to display the full list of supported names.
   
   
3. Select the correct board name for your kit in the list and click the Update button.
   
   
   
   
   The tool checks if the selected name corresponds to the actual connected KitProg3 device. Board configuration is updated in the EEPROM of KitProg3. The success status and a new board name are displayed.
   

   

   
   
   Note:

   The “Device not updated” error means an incorrect kit name was selected.
4. Click the Close button, the dialog closes and the updated board name displays in the pull-downs.
