2 QUICK START GUIDE FOR SAP OPERATION
Stand-Alone Programming (SAP) is the most common use of the Cyclone for
ARM devices. 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 ARM devices 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
ARM devices.
Once the installation is complete and the PC has been rebooted you may
begin to configure the Cyclone for ARM devices 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 ARM devices. By
default, the jumpers are set to switch power from the Power IN
Jack to Power OUT Jack. You may wish to refer to Section 3.14 -
Target Power Management.
b. Connect the Cyclone for ARM devices to your PC
Select the appropriate communications interface (Serial, USB or
Ethernet) and connect the Cyclone for ARM devices 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 ARM devices
Step 3. Create a SAP Image
A SAP image, or Stand-Alone Programming image, is a self-sufficient data
object containing the Cyclone for ARM devices and target hardware setup

Cyclone for ARM devices User Manual 5
Cyclone for ARM®devices
information, programming algorithm, programming sequence, and target data.
The Cyclone for ARM devices 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” ->
“P&E Cyclone for ARM devices Programmer” -> “Cyclone for
ARM devices 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 2-2: Device Selection Dialog
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.
d. Specify the auxiliary setup and hardware setup, such as Commu-
nication Mode, Communication Rate, Target Power, and Voltage
Settings.

Cyclone for ARM®devices
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 for ARM
devices 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 ARM devices. Your SAP image has now been created.
Step 4. Execute SAP Image
The SAP image stored on your Cyclone for ARM devices can now be
executed with one button press. Once your target is connected to the Cyclone
for ARM devices, press the “START” button of the Cyclone for ARM devices
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.

3.5 Electromechanical Relays
Inside the Cyclone for ARM devices, two electromechanical relays are used to
cycle target power. The specifications of the relays are as following:
Maximum switched power: 30W or 125 VA
Maximum switched current: 1A
Maximum switched voltage: 150VDC or 300VAC
UL Rating: 1A at 30 VDC
1A at 125 VAC
P&E only recommends switching DC voltages up to 24 Volts.
3.6 Power Connectors
The Cyclone for ARM devices provides a Target Power Supply Input Jack and
a Target Power Supply Output Jack with 2.5/5.5 mm Pin Diameter. The power
jacks are connected or disconnected by two electromechanical relays. When
connected, the Center Pin of the Target Power Supply Input Jack is
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.

3.7 Jumper Settings
The jumpers must be set differently for various power management options
that the Cyclone for ARM devices offers. If the Cyclone for ARM devices is not
being used to manage the target’s power, only Jumper 5 needs to be
installed. Please see Section 3.14 - Target Power Management for the
correct jumper settings for other power management options.
3.8 Debug Connector Mechanical Drawing
The Cyclone for ARM devices provides one un-keyed standard 20-position
0.100-inch pitch dual row 0.025-inch square header, one keyed 20-position
0.050-inch pitch dual row mini header, and one keyed 10-position 0.050-inch
