Dataman Forum

Hello,

Recently I tried reading a CY8C27243 and then writing to a blank one, but it seems that the Dataman reads in Binary and cannot write unless it is in .hex.

Is there a way around this? I have PSoC designer, but there is no way to upload the bin file that I got, using the dataman.

Thanks

Hello,

I do not understand your question. Our software only lets you load an IntelHEX format file into the buffer, likewise, if you read a device and try to save the buffer contents to your PC, the only option is IntelHEX format.

Perhaps if you could recreate the steps you are making and then provide me with the full problem report I will be able to see the whole picture. Standard way of creating the problem report is using the (Help > Create problem report) feature and emailing the resulting ZIP file from your desktop to me ([email protected]).

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Best regards,

Ok great, I hope you're right.

I'm not the best with this programmer yet.

I'm going to dig back into this and report back. Thank you for the quick reply

I discovered my error.

I was saving the program buffer file by going to the "View/Edit" buffer window and saving there, instead of just reading the original IC and saving the whole project/file, which is in IntelHex as you've described.

I guess I need to start saving there and not using the View/Edit page for saving buffers.

My apologies for the silly issue!

No problem at all. I am glad that you got it sorted out.

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
