GW16113 JTAG Programming
If you are going to develop your own firmware for PSoC on the GW16113 you need the following:
- Cypress MiniProg3 Programming kit
- GW16115 Carrier - provides 10-pin JTAG header on the GW16113 via pogo-pins
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:
- 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
- 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
The Cypress PSoC Programmer application needs the following settings:
- Open the 'hex' file with firmware you wish to program
- Configure device family to: Cy8C5xxxLP
- Configure device to: CY8C5888LTQ-LP097
- Verification: off
- Autodetect: off
- Protocol: SWD
- Voltage: 3.3V
Procedure:
- Connect MiniProg to Windows host PC
- Connect MiniProg 10-pin jtag cable to J1 on GW16115 wich GW16113 loaded (do not provide external power by connecting USB to a host)
- Connect via the connect icon
- Power via the power icon
- Program via the run icon
Notes:
- 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
- Power on seems optional... it will eventually power the board on regardless
Firmware Images
The current firmware images available from Gateworks here are:
- GW16113_HID_GPIO - Vendor-ID/Product-ID: 0x2beb:0x1110 (all pins set to act as a GPIO / DIO)
The firmware resides in the 256KB PSoC FLASH therefore is non-volatile and contains both the bootloader as well as the main application. See below regarding firmware updates.
Firmware Updates
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.
GW16113 bootloader details:
- 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)
- USB Vendor-ID and Product-ID of bootloader: 0x2beb:0x1100
- 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:
- remain in the bootloader awaiting a command (to jump to existing app, or program new app)
- 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
- jump directly to application
- main application can be instructed to jump to the bootloader and wait for a command (to allow firmware updating)
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.
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).
The bootloader configuration is stored in the PSoC EEPROM and can be altered via the gwsoc application (or directly by the main application if using custom firmware) if the default configuration does not suit your needs.
The 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.
Examples:
- program GW16113_HID-GPIO firmware:
wget http://dev.gateworks.com/gwsoc/gw16113/GW16113_HID-GPIO.cyacd gwsoc -p GW16113_HID-GPIO.cyacd
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@… if this is a requirement.
General Purpose IO (GPIO)
The I/O pins allows a variety of Drive Modes:
- strong drive

Software Support
The following is preliminary information and is subject to change
There are two pieces of software dealing with the GW16113:
- The GW16113 firmware that is flashed onto the PSoc chip
- The userspace program that controls the GPIOs, etc
Linux Userspace Utilities
gwsoc
Gateworks will provide a gwsoc
command-line utility which will make use of the popular open-source and cross-platform HIDAPI and libusb libraries for:
- updating firmware (the firmware dictates the feature matrix for the I/O pins)
- accessing the various features (ie configuring GPIO's etc).
The gwsoc
application will come pre-installed on the various Gateworks Board Support Package (BSP) firmware images. Source-code is also provided (see building gwsoc)
The gwsoc
application currently is what is used to get/set GPIO configuration using 32bit registers mapped as follows on the GW16113:

git clone http://github.com/Gateworks/gwsoc cd gwsoc/gwsoc sudo apt-get install build-essential libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libhidapi-dev # install dependencies make
You may also want to install a udev rule to allow group ownership of hid devices for the plugdev group:
# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-hid.rules KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev"
Linux Device Drivers
Linux native kernel drivers will be provided in the Gateworks Board Support Packages (coming soon).
PSoc 5LP and Firmware
The GW16113 is based upon the Cypress PSoC 5LP device which is a programmable device which can be best thought of as cross between a microcontroller combined with a PLD and programmable analog. This means that the board can operate in many different modes depending on how it is programmed.

PSoC Resources and Capabilities
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.
The 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.
A list of components compatible with the PSoC 5LP is available from Cypress PSoC5LP here and all of these are available within PSoC Creator.
Each PSoC 5LP has a fixed set of internal resources available such as:
- RAM
- FLASH storage
- Univeral Design Blocks (UDB)
- Digital clock dividers
- Pins
- DMA channels
- Comparators
- Programmable Analog Blocks
- Interrupts
- various Fixed blocks (ie USB, CAN, I2C, SPI, UART, controllers)
Each component has its own individual datasheet that contains details such as:
- Features
- Software API
- Hardware configuration info
- Resource usage
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:
- Workspace Explorer -> Results Tab -> Select the usage report file titled <project-name>.rpt
- Build -> Generate Project Datasheet (refer to section 2)
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 here. Note that this tool does not take into account that we only have 24 I/O pins available to connectors.

Programming PSoc Firmware
- Compile the firmware using the PSoc creator detailed above
- Copy the file to the Gateworks SBC board that has the GW16113 installed
- Verify the gwsoc software is accessible via the command line on the Gateworks SBC
- Verify the USB code is still present in the new firmware image as this code is used to access and update the PSoc and without it, the board could be bricked.
- Program the firmware to the GW16113 with the program flag in the gwsoc application
gwsoc -p {filename}
