User Manual For CYCLONE Programmers 1
1 INTRODUCTION
PEmicro's CYCLONE production programmers are powerful, fast, and feature rich in-circuit
programming solutions. PEmicro offers two models which have the same feature set and only vary
by the devices supported.
The CYCLONE_ACP supports a wide variety of ARM Cortex devices.
The CYCLONE_UNIVERSAL supports those ARM Cortex devices as well as the following NXP
device families: Kinetis, LPC, S32, Qorivva (MPC5xxx), MPC5xx/8xx, DSC, S12Z, RS08, S08,
HC08, HC(S)12(X), and Coldfire.
Figure 1-1: CYCLONE Supported Architectures
CYCLONE programmers are designed to withstand the demands of a production environment.
They are Stand-Alone Programmers (SAP) that can be operated manually or used to host
automated programming. In manual SAP mode the Cyclone is operated using the touchscreen
LCD Menu and/or the Start button. Host-controlled SAP mode, for automated programming, is
accomplished using either a command line utility, RS232 protocol, UDP protocol, or the Cyclone
Automated Control DLL.
P&E also offers CYCLONE FX programmers which include enhanced speed, storage, security,
and other features that make them an incredibly powerful and versatile solution. For more
information, visit pemicro.com/cyclone.
1.1 Feature Overview/Comparison
See CHAPTER 17 - CYCLONE FEATURE OVERVIEW / COMPARISON for a CYCLONE feature
overview and comparison with the CYCLONE programmers.

2 QUICK START GUIDE FOR SAP OPERATION
Stand-Alone Programming (SAP) is the most common use of the CYCLONE. This quick-start
guide illustrates how easy it is to begin using the Cyclone for stand-alone programming.
You are encouraged to read this manual in its entirety for a complete description of all features
specific to your Cyclone, many of which are beyond the scope of this quick-start guide.
Step 1. Install Software
The first step is to install the accompanying software. This will install all of the applications and
drivers that can be used to configure/control the CYCLONE.
Once the installation is complete and the PC has been rebooted you may begin to configure the
Cyclone for SAP operation.
Step 2. Hardware Setup
a. Configure the target power management scheme
Power management is configured by setting jumpers that are revealed by opening the
access panel on the Cyclone’s left side. The corresponding settings are conveniently
illustrated on the rear label of Cyclone. No jumpers are installed by default. You may
wish to refer to Section 3.22 - Target Power Management.
b. Connect the Cyclone to your PC
Select the appropriate communications interface (Serial, USB or Ethernet) and
connect the Cyclone to your PC. If you wish to use the Ethernet port you will need to
configure the corresponding network settings before use, either through the
touchscreen LCD menu or via the software utility ConfigureIP. The Ethernet port will
not function properly until this configuration is complete. You may wish to refer to
CHAPTER 9 - ETHERNET CONFIGURATION.
c. Power up the Cyclone.
Step 3. Create a SAP Image
A SAP image, or Stand-Alone Programming image, is a self-sufficient data object containing the
Cyclone and target hardware setup information, programming algorithm, programming sequence,
and target data. The Cyclone uses these images to perform SAP operations on target devices.
Follow these steps to create a SAP image:
a. Run the Cyclone Image Creation Utility
This utility is a GUI designed to help users create architecture/manufacturer-specific
SAP images. To run this utility:
From the “Start” menu of your PC, navigate to “All Programs -> PEMicro. From there,
select “P&E Cyclone Universal Programmer” or “P&E Cyclone for ARM devices”
depending on which specific PEmicro part# you are using, then select -> P&E Cyclone
Universal (or P&E Cyclone for ARM devices) Image Creation Utility. The utility is
shown in Figure 2-1. Continue with the steps below to create an image.

User Manual For CYCLONE Programmers 3
Figure 2-1: Cyclone Image Creation Utility (Qorivva Selected)
b. In the Cyclone Image Creation Utility, select your CPU manufacturer and architecture
from their respective drop-down lists.
c. Click the “Launch Script Wizard” button. Follow the pop-up screens to specify a pro-
gramming algorithm and target object file. The programming algorithm, target object
file, and default programming sequence will then show up in the programming
sequence listbox.
d. Specify the auxiliary setup and hardware setup, such as Communication Mode, Com-
munication Rate, Target Power, and Voltage Settings.
e. Type an Image Description for your SAP image. The default description is a time
stamp.
f. Click the “Store Image to Cyclone” button.
g. Choose the communication interface, select the Cyclone to which the image will be
saved, and then click the “Store Image to Cyclone” button. A backend image configu-
ration utility will pop up and store the image information on the Cyclone. Your SAP
image has now been created.
Step 4. Execute SAP Image
The SAP image stored on your Cyclone can now be programmed to the target with one button
press. Once your target is connected to the Cyclone, press the “Start” button of the Cyclone unit
and wait for programming operations to finish. During this process, the LCD screen will show the
status of operations. Note that the menu option described in Section 5.2.3.5.3 - Set Progress

User Manual For CYCLONE Programmers 4
Details will allow you to set the Cyclone to display either more or less detailed information about
the programming process during programming. Eventually the “Success” or “Error” LED will
illuminate, and the LCD screen will display the results.
Note: If programming is unsuccessful when using this quick start setup, the user may instead wish to use
the included PROG software for their device. The PROG software allows the user to manually walk
through the programming procedure step by step, which may help determine which part of setup or
programming function is causing difficulty.

3CYCLONE HARDWARE
The following is an overview of the features and interfaces of the CYCLONE programmers. Many
of these interfaces are labeled on the underside of the plastic case.
Figure 3-1: CYCLONE Top View
3.1 Touchscreen LCD
The LCD Touchscreen displays information about the Cyclone’s configuration and the
programming process, and also allows the user to navigate the Cyclone’s menus. The location of
the Touchscreen LCD is shown in Figure 3-1.
3.2 LED Indicators
The LED indicators for Error or Success will illuminate depending on the results of the
programming process and provide a clear visual indication of the results. The location of the LED
Indicators is shown in Figure 3-1.
3.3 Start Button
The Start Button can be used to begin the programming process manually, provided that the
Cyclone is properly configured. The location of the Start Button is shown in Figure 3-1.
3.4 Access Panel
The Access Panel can easily be opened to allow the user to connect/disconnect ribbon cables
from the headers, or to configure the Cyclone’s Power Jumpers to select one of the available
Power Management setups. The location of the Access Panel is shown in Figure 3-1; a layout of
the headers and jumpers beneath the Access Panel is shown in Figure 3-4.
