# PSoC™ 4: Basic device firmware upgrade (DFU)
This example demonstrates how to create a field upgradable project for PSoC™ 4 using the DFU middleware.
The device firmware update (DFU) will occur over the I2C or UART interfaces. This includes downloading an application from a host device (PC/MCU) and installing it in PSoC™ 4 device flash.
This document details the following:
1. A high-level overview of the DFU process described in [Design and implementation](#design-and-implementation) section.
2. An example to explain the installation of DFU firmware inside the flash of the target device and upload an application code via the I2C or UART interface.
This example bundles two applications:
**Bootloader app:** Implements a [DFU middleware library](https://github.com/Infineon/dfu)-based basic bootloader application run by the CPU. The bootloader handles the image download, verification, erase, and upgrade process. When the image is valid, the bootloader lets the CPU boot the application.
**Blinky app:** A tiny CPU-run application that continuously blinks an LED at a 5 Hz rate. This application transfers control to the bootloader when you press the user button. Here, the application project is a simple Blinky project, but you can change it according to your requirements.
> **Note:** For `CY8CKIT-040T` and `CY8CPROTO-040T`, only I2C is available as the DFU transport layer. For `CY8CKIT-040T`, switching between the application and the bootloader is controlled by an I2C command rather than a button press.

The project has the necessary settings by default. The **Operation** section describes how to test the example.
## Operation
1. Connect the board to the PC using the provided USB cable through the KitProg3 USB connector.
2. Select 'mtb-example-psoc4-dfu-basic' and click the **Build Application** as shown in **Figure 1** to build a project to bundle the bootloader and the Blinky application together.
**Figure 1. Building the application**
<img src="images/figure_1.png" alt="Figure_1" width="1024"/>
> **Note:** I2C is configured as the default DFU transport. To change the DFU transport, edit the **common.mk** makefile to set `TRANSPORT_OPT?=<transport>` before building the project, as shown in **Figure 2**.
**Figure 2. TRANSPORT_OPT**
<img src="images/figure_2.png" alt="Figure_2" width="1024"/>
3. Flash the bootloader
<details><summary><b>Using Eclipse IDE</b></summary>
1. Select the bootloader_cm0p project (*mtb-example-psoc4-dfu-basic.bootloader_cm0p*) in the Project Explorer.
2. In the **Quick Panel**, scroll down to launches and click **mtb-example-psoc4-dfu-basic.bootloader_cm0p Program (KitProg3_MiniProg4)**.
**Figure 3. Flashing the bootloader**
<img src="images/figure_3.png" alt="Figure_3" width="1024"/>
</details>
<details><summary><b>In other IDEs</b></summary>
Follow the instructions in your preferred IDE.
</details>
<details><summary><b>Using CLI</b></summary>
From the terminal, execute the `make program` command to build and program the application using the default toolchain to the default target with default DFU transport. You can specify a target, toolchain and transport manually:
```
make program TOOLCHAIN=<toolchain>
```
Example:
```
make program TOOLCHAIN=GCC_ARM
```
> **Note:** The **TOOLCHAIN** variable is found on the **common.mk** makefile and is changed according to the user. However, the user has to provide the compiler path *CY_COMPILER_PATH=* in the makefiles of both the bootloader and the Blinky application.
</details>
4. After programming, the bootloader restarts, making the user LED blink at approximately 1 Hz.
5. Perform the device firmware upgrade using the **DFU Host Tool**:
a. Open the [Device Firmware Upgrade Host Tool](https://www.infineon.com/dgdlac/Infineon-ModusToolbox_Device_Firmware_Update_Host_Tool_%28Version_1.2%29-Software-v01_00-EN.pdf?fileId=8ac78c8c7d0d8da4017d0f8d42ba76bb) under the **Tools** section in the **Quick Panel**. Plug in the kit.
**Figure 4. Device Firmware Upgrade Host Tool**
<img src="images/figure_4.png" alt="Figure_4" width="1024"/>
b. Make a note of the path to the **blinky_cm0p_crc.cyad2** file. You need it to configure the DFU Host Tool. By default, it will be generated in the *mtb-example-psoc4-dfu-basic/blinky_cm0p/build/APP_CY8CKIT-041S-MAX/Debug* directory. Paste this path in the *File* field of the DFU Host Tool.
> **Note:** CY8CKIT-041S-MAX is the target kit in this example. If you are using a different kit, the name of the *APP_xxx* folder inside the _build_ folder will change accordingly.
**Figure 5. Locating the \*.cyacd2 file**
<img src="images/figure_5.png" alt="Figure_5" width="1024"/>
c. Select the appropriate port based on the transport (`TRANSPORT_OPT`) configured in the *common.mk* makefile.
I2C is the default transport configuration and the default parameters are:
- I2C speed = 400 kHz
- I2C address = 12
If you are using UART as the transport, the default parameters are:
- Baud = 115200
- Data bits = 8
- Stop bits = 1
- Parity = None
**Figure 6. Setting up the DFU Host Tool**
<img src="images/figure_6.png" alt="Figure_6" width="773"/>
d. Click **Program** and observe the image download progress status on the progress bar, and wait for the download to complete.
**Figure 7. Uploading the application firmware**
<img src="images/figure_7.png" alt="Figure_7" width="773"/>
> **Note:** See the [DFU Host Tool](https://www.infineon.com/dgdlac/Infineon-ModusToolbox_Device_Firmware_Update_Host_Tool_%28Version_1.2%29-Software-v01_00-EN.pdf?fileId=8ac78c8c7d0d8da4017d0f8d42ba76bb) documentation for further details on selecting a port and configuring it for communication based on the transport enabled in the bootloader.
After you download the application firmware, the device starts to boot in the *blinky_cm0p* project. Observe that the user LED blinks at 5 Hz.
### Troubleshooting
1. **Issue:** DFU Host Tool actions failing for the PSoC&trade; 4000T WLCSP devices.
For PSoC&trade; 4000T devices featuring a factory-programmed bootloader within the WLCSP package, it is essential to use a unique product ID as detailed in the *WLCSP Bootloader Package* section of the [PSoC&trade; 4000T device datasheet](https://www.infineon.com/002-33949). To ensure successful firmware flashing, a correct product ID must be assigned to the `__cy_product_id` variable for the GCC_ARM and IAR compilers within the linker scripts, or as the macro `#define CY_PRODUCT_ID` in the *dfu_common.h* file if you are using the ARM compiler. Look for section **Memory layout** of this document for locating the linker scripts.
2. **Issue:** DFU Host Tool actions failing after updating the bootloader.
The device might be previously programmed with a valid application and on reset, the bootloader boots to its previous application. To solve this issue, erase the entire device flash by running the ```make erase``` command in the terminal, as shown in **Figure 8**, and repeat from Step 3 of the previous section. <br>
**Figure 8. Erasing the device chip**
<img src="images/figure_8.png" alt="Figure_8" width="773"/>
<br>
### Switching between the bootloader and the application
**For kits other than `CY8CKIT-040T`**
Dynamic switching between the bootloader and the application is triggered by the user button events. Press the user button to switch to the bootloader while the application is running.Similarly, press the user button to switch to the application while the bootloader is running. Note that the bootloader accepts the switching request if there is a valid application in the memory.
**For `CY8CKIT-040T` kit**
Dynamic switching between the bootloader and the application is triggered by sending commands over I2C. To send the commands, a USB-to-I2C bridge and a I2C serial terminal software like **Bridge Control Panel** (BCP) is used. BCP is included with the installation of [PSoC&trade; Programmer](https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/design-support/tools/programming-testing/psoc-programming-solutions/). To know how to write data using BCP, see the **Help Topics** section under the **Help** tab in the menu bar. The CY8CKIT-040T kit has an onboard KitProg which acts as the USB-to-I2C bridge and it is connected to the I2C bus of the PSoC&trade; 4000T device.
> **Note:** **Bridge Control Panel** (BCP) is currently supported only on Windows.
To switch to the bootloader while the application is running, send the following 3 bytes to the I2C address `0x0C`, using BCP, as shown in **Figure 9**.
```
0x01 0xEA 0x17
```
**Figure 9. BCP command 1**
<img src="images/figure_9.png" alt="Figure_9" width="839"/>
The command follows a basic packet structure that consists of Start Of Packet (SOP): 0x01, Command Byte (this is the actual command to trigger a flag in the main.c): 0xEA, and End Of Packet (EOP): 0x17.
Send the following 7 bytes to the I2C address `0x0C` to switch from the bootloader to the application.
```
0x01 0x3B 0x00 0x00 0xC4 0xFF 0x17
```
**Figure 10. BCP command 2**
<img src="images/figure_10.png" alt="Figure_10" width="839"/>
The **Exit Bootloader** command is an integrated command given by the DFU MW. The command details and the packet structure is found in the host **command/response** protocol section of the application note [AN236282 - Device firmware update (DFU) middleware (MW) FOR ModusToolbox&trade;](https://www.infineon.com/AN236282).
Note that the bootloader accepts the switching request to jump to an application only if there is a valid application in the memory.

## Design and implementation
### Overview
This example demonstrates the basic device firmware upgrade (DFU) operations based on the [DFU middleware library](https://github.com/Infineon/dfu).
**Figure 11. Bootloader flow diagram**
<img src="images/bootloader_flow.png" alt="Figure_11" width=""/>
### Bootloader implementation
This bootloader_cm0p project implements an immutable bootloader with support to upgrade the application firmware over I2C or UART interface.
The [DFU Host Tool](https://www.infineon.com/dgdlac/Infineon-ModusToolbox_Device_Firmware_Update_Host_Tool_%28Version_1.2%29-Software-v01_00-EN.pdf?fileId=8ac78c8c7d0d8da4017d0f8d42ba76bb) (typically running on the host PC) sends the application (*\<APPNAME>.cyacd2*) to the device. The bootloader receives the application image in chunks and overwrites the existing application image. See **Figure 11**. If a DFU session is interrupted, the application firmware will not be in a usable state. However, the device can still run the bootloader and perform necessary actions to download and install the application in the subsequent DFU sessions.
**Figure 12. DFU design overview**
<img src="images/dfu-overwrite.png" alt="Figure_12" width="839"/>
### DFU interfaces
The project supports I2C or UART interfaces to communicate with the DFU host. The *config* directory in the *mtb-example-psoc4-dfu-basic/bsps/TARGET_APP_CY8CKIT-041S-MAX/config* includes all the necessary configurations to select the supported interfaces. These configurations can also be edited or reconfigured using the **Device Configurator** under the *BSP Configurators* in the **Quick Panel**.
> **Note:** The Device Configurator is common for both the bootloader and the application, therefore, the resources are shared among them.
**Figure 13. Device Configurator**
<img src="images/figure_13.png" alt="Figure_13" width="839"/>
See the following table for the default configuration details. You can change the default configurations according to the use case. However, ensure that the configuration of the DFU Host Tool matches with that of the project.
**DFU transport configurations**
By default, both I2C and UART modes are enabled and configured for transport. For more details on transport resources see [Resources and settings](#resources-and-settings).
**Default I2C configuration**
Parameter| Default Setting|Description
:--------------- | :------ | :-----
Mode | Slave | Device acts as a slave
Address | 12 | 7-bit slave device address
Data rate |400 kbps| DFU supports standard data rates from 50 kbps to 1 Mbps
<br>
**Figure 14. I2C configuration**
<img src="images/figure_14.png" alt="Figure_14" width="839"/>
<br>
**Default UART configuration**
Parameter| Default Setting|Description
:--------------- | :------ | :-----
Com Mode | Standard | Standard, SmartCard, and IrDA are supported UART modes in SCB
Baud rate(bps)|115200 | Supports standard baud rates from 19200 to 115200
Bit order| LSB first| Standard frame
Data width| 8 bits| Standard frame
Parity| None | Standard frame
Stop bits| 1 bit | Standard frame
<br>
**Figure 15. UART configuration**
<img src="images/figure_15.png" alt="Figure_15" width="500"/>
<br>
### Memory layout
The first 16 KB region of the flash is reserved for the bootloader followed by a 4 KB reserved region for future enhancements. Another 32 KB is allocated to the application firmware followed by the empty/reserved region. The size of this empty/reserved region depends on the size of the flash available on the selected target device. See the respective device datasheets for more details. The last 256 B region of the flash is reserved for bootloader metadata.
To change the memory layout or usage, update the respective target linker scripts. The files are found in the *bsps* folder.
For example: *mtb-example-psoc4-dfu-basic/bsps/TARGET_APP_CY8CKIT-041S-MAX/COMPONENT_CM0p/TOOLCHAIN_GCC_ARM*
**Figure 16. Linker scripts**
<img src="images/figure_16.png" alt="Figure_16" width="500"/>
There are two linker scripts, one for each application in the corresponding toolchain directory. In the TOOLCHAIN_GCC_ARM directory, the _dfu_cm0p_app0.ld_ linker script is for the bootloader and the _dfu_cm0p_app1.ld_ linker script is for the Blinky application. The linker scripts can also be modified to define dedicated regions of the memory for each application.
The RAM is shared by the bootloader and Blinky application, with a common area used by both projects. The RAM regions must be aligned to the 1 KB boundary because they contain the interrupt vector table remapped at the start.
**Figure 17. Flash layout of CY8CKIT-041S-MAX**
<img src="images/dfu-memory-map.png" alt="Figure_16" width=""/>
<br>
### Software reset
The recommended method of transferring control from one application to another is through a device software reset. This enables each application to initialize device hardware blocks and signal routing from a known state. It is possible to freeze the state of I/O pins so they are maintained through a software reset. Defined portions of the SRAM are also maintained through a software reset. For more information, see the device-specific reference manual.
