PSoC Creator SWD Debugging Failure

This article talks about Cypress' PSoC Creator SWD Debugging error often observed by the developers.

I am using PSoC Creator 4.2 for debugging one of the Cypress' PD Controller.

So, I have opened up the project and then select Debug option from the Debug menu.

The Creator is able to program the image and then the below error is thrown

PSoC Creator SWD Debug Error.

The output window displays the below text: Error: dbg.M0015: Debugger exited unexpectedly during run.  Encountered error (Target disconnected See output window for more information.)

One reason for this could be that the SWD pins are not configured for SWD purpose and being configured in GPIO mode.

To change the SWD configuration follow the below steps

• Open the *.cydwr file to check the current configuration for the SWD pins.
• Select the System tab in the *.cydwr file.
• The reason for not able to debug that the Debug select option being set to GPIO instead of SWD.
• While choosing between GPIO's on the controllers it could be best to leave these pins so that the debugging can be performed using SWD pins.

Let me know your feedback and suggestions.
