Hi [mention:18d073d7306a4a8694ee59c07b9ecc65:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] ,

This is a long shot, but do you happen to still have those examples archived? The kit is now obsolete, so the examples aren't available from the company, and I am trying to get it working. I can program it to run things when USB-powered, but I am struggling to get things to run off the solar cell (except a simple LED blinker program). Having the examples to consult would be a bit help, so if you are able to send me them, please may you?

I received some feedback from the Cypress forum on why you need to add in at least one byte to the "Checksum exclude section" in the bootloadable component:

Apparently, the latest BLE component places cyBle_flashStorage in cy_checksum_exclude section by default. You can refer to BLE_gatt.c for more details.

cy_boot component checks whether required and provided cy_checksum_exclude sizes mach, if not throws an error (cm0gcc.ld).

cyBle_flashStorage requires 0x285 bytes and linker file allocates 640 bytes in a BLE project by default. Once you add at least 1 byte in the checksum exclude size (bootloadable configuration window), one flash row will be added and cyBle_flashStorage can be placed in cy_checksum_exclude section successfully (Simple_BLE.map).
