Did Anyone See this Strange Behaviour of Cypress PSoC Creator Software

ciorga

It's only me or other people also bumped into this problem:  First my PSoC5LP CY8C5868LTI-LP39 68-QFN lost two of the four opamps, as I have described in this blog post, then when I opened a previous project in PSoC Creator 2.1 I noticed that the flip-flops were missing from the schematic.  I did not disrepair and I brought new flip-flops from the library, but these ones had a much bigger symbol that did not fit in the old place, so I had to redraw parts of the schematic.  Then when I built the project I got multiple errors, some of them shown below:

 

Error: sdb.M0062: An error occurred trying to retrieve the DRCs for an instance, 'cy_constant_1'. Unable to locate and customize component 'cy_constant_v1_0' used in schematic 'C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Desktop\element14_docs\schmartboard3\schmartboard_pd_710-0008-01_boot\SchmartBootLoader\BootLoader5\BootLoadable.cydsn\TopDesign\TopDesign.cysch'.

Error: sdb.M0062: An error occurred trying to retrieve the DRCs for an instance, 'cy_constant_2'. Unable to locate and customize component 'cy_constant_v1_0' used in schematic 'C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Desktop\element14_docs\schmartboard3\schmartboard_pd_710-0008-01_boot\SchmartBootLoader\BootLoader5\BootLoadable.cydsn\TopDesign\TopDesign.cysch'.

Error: cdf.M0005: CyDsFit aborted due to errors, please address all errors and rerun CyDsFit. (App=cydsfit)

--------------- Build Failed: 01/22/2015 19:29:42 ---------------

 

This was a finalized project that worked well before, and now I cannot do anything with it.

 

Did anyone experience strange behavior like this with Cypress's PSoC Creator tool?

 

Does anyone form Cypress want to comment on this topic?

    The message is complaining that the component (cy_constant) is not in the search path. The DRC is implemented in the component and it is complaining that it cannot find it. That component was introduced in PSoC Creator 2.2 and so opening the project in 2.1 means the component does not exist. PSoC Creator projects are guaranteed backward compatible (old projects will be openable in new versions of the tool) but not forward compatible (new projects may not open in old versions of the tool).

     

    I think your best choice is to use newer software exclusively.
