    106 === GW16113 JTAG Programming
    107 If you are going to develop your own firmware for PSoC on the GW16113 you need the following:
    108  * [http://www.cypress.com/documentation/development-kitsboards/cy8ckit-002-psoc-miniprog3-program-and-debug-kit Cypress MiniProg3] Programming kit
    109  * GW16115 Carrier - provides 10-pin JTAG header on the GW16113 via pogo-pins
    110 [[Image(1611516113.jpg,300px)]]
    111 [[Image(cypress16115.jpg,300px)]]
    112 
    113 To program or recover a PSoC on the GW16113 you need to program it via JTAG which requires a GW16115 USB carrier that has pogo-pins to mate with the GW16113's JTAG pins. There are two methods involving different versions of the GW16115:
    114 - GW16115 pogo-pin adapter with resistor loading for the J1 Cypress 10-pin JTAG header with the Cypress miniProg programmer hardware/software and a .hex file
    115 - GW16115 pogo-pin adapter with resistor loading for the J2 Gateworks 10-pin JTAG header with a Gatworks JTAG dongle or gang programmer and a .xsvf file
    116 
    117 The Cypress PSoC Programmer application needs the following settings:
    118 - Open the 'hex' file with firmware you wish to program
    119 - Configure device family to: Cy8C5xxxLP
    120 - Configure device to: CY8C5888LTQ-LP097
    121 - Verification: off
    122 - Autodetect: off
    123 - Protocol: SWD
    124 - Voltage: 3.3V
    125 
    126 Procedure:
    127 1. Connect !MiniProg to Windows host PC
    128 2. Connect !MiniProg 10-pin jtag cable to J1 on GW16115 wich GW16113 loaded (do not provide external power by connecting USB to a host)
    129 3. Connect via the connect icon
    130 4. Power via the power icon
    131 5. Program via the run icon
    132 
    133 Notes:
    134  * Protocol of 5-wire JTAG will work as well and if 5-wire JTAG has been disabled via pin-config it silently falls back to SWD, so I find it better to just use SWD in the first place
    135  * Power on seems optional... it will eventually power the board on regardless
    136 
    137 
    138 [=#firmwareimages]
    139 === Firmware Images ===
    140 The current firmware images available from Gateworks [http://dev.gateworks.com/gwsoc/ here] are:
    141  * GW16113_HID_GPIO - Vendor-ID/Product-ID: 0x2beb:0x1110 (all pins set to act as a GPIO / DIO)
    142 
    143 The firmware resides in the 256KB PSoC FLASH therefore is non-volatile and contains both the  bootloader as well as the main application. See [#firmwareupdate below] regarding firmware updates.
    144 
    145 
    146 [=#firmwareupdate]
    147 === Firmware Updates ===
    148 The PSoC has 256KB of programmable non-volatile FLASH that are used to contain the 'firmware application'. The pre-built firmware images provided by Gateworks contain a PSoC5 Bootloader application that allows for USB updates of the main application (aka bootloadable) firmware.
    149 
    150 GW16113 bootloader details:
    151  * Bootloader is programmed at the factory via JTAG and is not able to be updated via USB (technically an application firmware can be created that allows updating the bootloader however Gateworks does not currently support this)
    152  * USB Vendor-ID and Product-ID of bootloader: 0x2beb:0x1100
    153  * Bootloader application is run when GW16113 comes out of reset (when PCI_RESET# is released) and will do one of the following depending on EEPROM configuration:
    154   1. remain in the bootloader awaiting a command (to jump to existing app, or program new app)
    155   2. remain in the bootloader awaiting a command if the state of the I/O ports latched coming out of reset matches a predefined value, otherwise jump to the application immediately
    156   3. jump directly to application
    157  * main application can be instructed to jump to the bootloader and wait for a command (to allow firmware updating)
    158 
    159 Options 1 and 2 above are designed to provide a fool-proof way of recovering from a failed firmware update, or faulty firmware that does not allow a method to jump back to the bootloader.
    160 
    161 The factory default configuration is to stay in the bootloader a logic value of 0x55 (pin1,3,5,7 logic high, pin2,4,6,8 logic low) is latched on P12 (J1) when the GW16113 comes out of reset (option 2 above).
    162 
    163 The bootloader configuration is stored in the PSoC EEPROM and can be altered via the [#gwsoc gwsoc] application (or directly by the main application if using custom firmware) if the default configuration does not suit your needs.
    164 
    165 The [#gwsoc gwsoc] application running on the host processor has the ability to instruct the application to jump to the bootloader and await a command for updating the main application firmware. The '-p' command-line option is used to update the firmware providing a '.cyacd' file.
    166 
    167 Examples:
    168  * program GW16113_HID-GPIO firmware:
    169 {{{
    170 wget http://dev.gateworks.com/gwsoc/gw16113/GW16113_HID-GPIO.cyacd
    171 gwsoc -p GW16113_HID-GPIO.cyacd
    172 }}}
    173 
    174 If for some reason the use case demands the 15KB FLASH space (of 256KB available) used by the bootloader or the ability to update the firmware via USB is not desired, the firmware can be customized by the user to eliminate the bootloader. The resulting firmware would need to be programmed via JTAG. Contact sales@gateworks.com if this is a requirement.

    501 === PSoC Resources and Capabilities ===
    502 Cypress provides pre-configured functional blocks referred to as 'Components' that can be supported by the PSoC. Conceptually these are '''virtual peripherals''' that each have their own datasheet, schematic library representation, and support code implementing an API.
    503 
    504 The [http://www.cypress.com/psoccreator/ Cypress PSoC Creator] is the free Windows development tool provided by Cypress used to design and compile firmware for PSoC devices. To create firmware that can be programmed on a PSoC you use this tool to drag-and-drop and configure schematic representations of components and edit ANSI-C code to configure and control the components.
    505 
    506 A list of components compatible with the PSoC 5LP is available from Cypress [http://www.cypress.com/search/all?f%5B0%5D=meta_type%3Asoftware_tools&f%5B1%5D=software_tools_meta_type%3A532 PSoC5LP here] and all of these are available within PSoC Creator.

    508 Each PSoC 5LP has a fixed set of internal resources available such as:
    509  * RAM
    510  * FLASH storage
    511  * Univeral Design Blocks (UDB)
    512  * Digital clock dividers
    513  * Pins
    514  * DMA channels
    515  * Comparators
    516  * Programmable Analog Blocks
    517  * Interrupts
    518  * various Fixed blocks (ie USB, CAN, I2C, SPI, UART, controllers)
    519 
    520 Each component has its own individual datasheet that contains details such as:
    521  * Features
    522  * Software API
    523  * Hardware configuration info
    524  * Resource usage
    525 
    526 To determine what can fit into a PSoC you can compare the PSoC datasheet list of resources with the individual component datasheets. Preferably PSoC Creator can generate a resource summary by:
    527  * Workspace Explorer -> Results Tab -> Select the usage report file titled <project-name>.rpt
    528  * Build -> Generate Project Datasheet (refer to section 2)
    529 
    530 Cypress also has a nifty online tool that knows quite a bit about what each component needs and what is available. It is used for selecting a PSoC chip but can also be useful to prove that your basic needs can be met. You can find their epsg tool [http://www.cypress.com/epsg/ here]. Note that this tool does not take into account that we only have 24 I/O pins available to connectors.

     264=== Firmware Images ===
     265The current firmware images available from Gateworks [http://dev.gateworks.com/gwsoc/ here] are:
     266 * GW16113_HID_GPIO - Vendor-ID/Product-ID: 0x2beb:0x1110 (all pins set to act as a GPIO / DIO)
     267
     268The firmware resides in the 256KB PSoC FLASH therefore is non-volatile and contains both the  bootloader as well as the main application. See [#firmwareupdate below] regarding firmware updates.
     269
     270
     271[=#firmwareupdate]
     272=== Firmware Updates ===
     273The PSoC has 256KB of programmable non-volatile FLASH that are used to contain the 'firmware application'. The pre-built firmware images provided by Gateworks contain a PSoC5 Bootloader application that allows for USB updates of the main application (aka bootloadable) firmware.
     274
     275GW16113 bootloader details:
     276 * Bootloader is programmed at the factory via JTAG and is not able to be updated via USB (technically an application firmware can be created that allows updating the bootloader however Gateworks does not currently support this)
     277 * USB Vendor-ID and Product-ID of bootloader: 0x2beb:0x1100
     278 * Bootloader application is run when GW16113 comes out of reset (when PCI_RESET# is released) and will do one of the following depending on EEPROM configuration:
     279  1. remain in the bootloader awaiting a command (to jump to existing app, or program new app)
     280  2. remain in the bootloader awaiting a command if the state of the I/O ports latched coming out of reset matches a predefined value, otherwise jump to the application immediately
     281  3. jump directly to application
     282 * main application can be instructed to jump to the bootloader and wait for a command (to allow firmware updating)
     283
     284Options 1 and 2 above are designed to provide a fool-proof way of recovering from a failed firmware update, or faulty firmware that does not allow a method to jump back to the bootloader.
     285
     286The factory default configuration is to stay in the bootloader a logic value of 0x55 (pin1,3,5,7 logic high, pin2,4,6,8 logic low) is latched on P12 (J1) when the GW16113 comes out of reset (option 2 above).
     287
     288The bootloader configuration is stored in the PSoC EEPROM and can be altered via the [#gwsoc gwsoc] application (or directly by the main application if using custom firmware) if the default configuration does not suit your needs.
     289
     290The [#gwsoc gwsoc] application running on the host processor has the ability to instruct the application to jump to the bootloader and await a command for updating the main application firmware. The '-p' command-line option is used to update the firmware providing a '.cyacd' file.
     291
     292Examples:
     293 * program GW16113_HID-GPIO firmware:
     294{{{
     295wget http://dev.gateworks.com/gwsoc/gw16113/GW16113_HID-GPIO.cyacd
     296gwsoc -p GW16113_HID-GPIO.cyacd
     297}}}
     298
     299If for some reason the use case demands the 15KB FLASH space (of 256KB available) used by the bootloader or the ability to update the firmware via USB is not desired, the firmware can be customized by the user to eliminate the bootloader. The resulting firmware would need to be programmed via JTAG. Contact sales@gateworks.com if this is a requirement.
