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.

Switch to Protected mode​

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.

To program the Kill Mode into a PSOC™ 4 /CCGx device, go to

Options -> Programmer Options

and enable it in the

PSOC 4 Kill Mode

drop-down.



When trying to program a HEX file that applies Kill Mode via the special region 0x90600000, confirm this operation by clicking

Yes

in the dialog.



After programming is completed, the message in the

Log

indicates that the device was transferred to Kill Mode successfully (or that an error occurred).
