Introduction

KitProg3 uses the industry-standard Serial Wire Debug (SWD) and JTAG protocols. It uses CMSIS-DAP V2.0.0 and V1.2.0 as the Bulk and HID endpoints transport mechanisms. CMSIS-DAP is also an industry standard. KitProg3 implements USB Bulk endpoints for faster communication. It also supports HID endpoints for use cases that require them, but communication is slower. Out of the box, KitProg3 uses Bulk endpoints.

KitProg3 also supports bridging: USB-UART, USB-I

C, USB-SPI, and GPIO

KitProg3 High-Level Architecture

The KitProg3 package also includes the Arm® Mbed™ DAPLink that enables programming and debugging applications (IoT) for Arm Cortex

®

CPUs (PSOC™ 6 MCUs only). DAPLink is platform-independent and provides drag-and-drop programming via a Mass Storage Controller (MSC), CMSIS-DAP debugging (Bulk endpoints), and a virtual serial port via USB Communications Device Class (CDC). You can switch between KitProg3 and DAPLink with a simple push of a Mode button.

Attention:

Arm® Mbed™ DAPLink mode will be deprecated and removed from KitProg3 package in the future with corresponding changes in kit functionality and documentation. After that, Infineon development kits will become unusable in the Mbed ecosystem.
