CYCLONE FOR STMICRO
2 QUICK START GUIDE FOR SAP OPERATION
Stand-Alone Programming (SAP) is the most common use of the Cyclone for
STMicro. 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 Cyclone for STMicro features, 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 for
STMicro.
Once the installation is complete and the PC has been rebooted you may
begin to configure the Cyclone for STMicro for SAP operation.
Step 2. Hardware Setup
a. Configure the target power management scheme
Power management is configured by setting jumpers on the side
of the Cyclone unit. The corresponding settings are conveniently
illustrated on the rear label of Cyclone for STMicro. By default,
the jumpers are set to switch power from the Power IN Jack to
Power OUT Jack. For more information, please refer to Section
3.15 - Target Power Management.
b. Connect the Cyclone for STMicro to your PC
Select the appropriate communications interface (Serial, USB or
Ethernet) and connect the Cyclone for STMicro 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
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 8 - ETHERNET
CONFIGURATION.
c. Power up the Cyclone for STMicro
Step 3. Create a SAP Image
A SAP image, or Stand-Alone Programming image, is a self-sufficient data
object containing the Cyclone for STMicro and target hardware setup

Cyclone for STMicro - User Manual 5
CYCLONE FOR STMICRO
information, programming algorithm, programming sequence, and target data.
The Cyclone for STMicro 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-
specific SAP images. To run this utility:
From the “Start” menu of your PC, navigate to “All Programs” ->
“P&E Cyclone for STMicro Programmer” -> “Image Creation
Utility” and select this utility. The utility is shown in Figure 2-1.
Continue with the steps below to create an image.

Figure 2-1: Cyclone Image Creation Utility
b. In the Cyclone Image Creation Utility, select your architecture
from the “Specify Target Architecture” drop-down list
c. Click the “Launch Script Wizard” button. Follow the pop-up
screens to specify a programming algorithm and target object file.
The programming algorithm, target object file, and default pro-
gramming sequence will then show up in the programming
sequence listbox.

CYCLONE FOR STMICRO
d. Specify the auxiliary setup and hardware setup, such as Target
Power, and Voltage Settings.
e. Type an Image Description for your SAP image. A time stamp will
be automatically inserted for you if you do not type one into the
box provided.
f. Click the “Store Image to Cyclone” button.
g. Choose the communications interface, select the Cyclone for
STMicro to which the image will be saved, and then click the
“Store Image to Cyclone” button. A backend image configuration
utility will pop up and store the image information on the Cyclone
for STMicro. Your SAP image has now been created.
Step 4. Execute SAP Image
The SAP image stored on your Cyclone for STMicro can now be executed
with one button press. Once your target is connected to the Cyclone for
STMicro, press the “START” button of the Cyclone for STMicro unit and wait
for programming operations to finish. During this process, the LCD screen
and LEDs will show the status of operations. Eventually the “Success” or
“Error” LED will illuminate, and the LCD will display the results.

connected to the Center Pin of the Target Power Supply Output Jack. When
disconnected, both terminals of the Target Power Supply Output Jack are
connected to GND via a 1W, 100 Ohm resistor.
Figure 3-6: Power Connector Locations
3.7 Jumper Settings
The jumpers must be set differently for various power management options
that the Cyclone for STMicro offers. If the Cyclone for STMicro is not being
used to manage the target’s power, only Jumper 5 needs to be installed.
Please see Section 3.15 - Target Power Management for the correct jumper
settings for other power management options.
