CYCLONE MAX
1INTRODUCTION
The Cyclone MAX is a versatile tool that can be used for the programming,
debugging, and testing of microprocessor-based hardware. It can be
controlled interactively via a Host PC, or operate independently of the PC in
stand-alone mode. The Cyclone MAX can also be configured and operated
via Serial, USB, and Ethernet communication interfaces. When in stand-alone
mode, its programming functions can be initiated directly through user input
buttons, or by using those same buttons to make selections from the LCD
menu.
The Cyclone MAX is able to debug and program a variety of processor
architectures using the target hardware’s Background Debug Mode (BDM) or
JTAG ports.
• Supported Architectures
•PowerPC (MPC5xx/MPC8xx)
•PowerPC Nexus (MPC55xx)
•ColdFire (MCF5xxx)
•ARM (MAC7xxx Automotive Family)
In addition to the versatility of being able to debug and program the
aforementioned processor families, and the ability to function in stand-alone
mode, the Cyclone MAX includes these other features:
• Multiple Communications Interfaces
•Ethernet 10/100 baseT
•USB 1.1
•Serial Baud 115200, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit.
• Onboard Storage
•Onboard storage of 7 Megabytes. Stores the image to be
programmed, programming algorithm, and any configuration settings.

CYCLONE MAX
•Multiple images may be saved using the onboard storage.
• Multi-Voltage Operation
•Automatically detects and caters to target voltages ranging from 1.8
to 5 Volts.
• LCD Menu
•Allows simple, menu-based control of the configuration and function
of the Cyclone MAX.
In short, the Cyclone MAX is an all-in-one solution for debugging,
programming, and testing of your hardware.

2GETTING STARTED
Stand-alone programming is probably the most common use of the Cyclone
MAX, therefore this section provides a simple quick-start guide to 1)
configuring the Cyclone MAX with data, and 2) using it in stand-alone mode to
program the flash of a target system. The user is encouraged to read this
manual in its entirety for a complete description of the full feature set of the
Cyclone MAX.
2.1 Software Installation
The first step is to install the accompanying software. This will install all of the
applications and drivers that will be used to configure/control the Cyclone
MAX. Once the installation is complete and the PC has been rebooted you
may begin to configure the unit for operation.
2.2 Overview Of Cyclone MAX Configuration Utility
If you plan to use the Serial or USB ports for communication, then the
Cyclone MAX can be used right out of the box. If you wish to use the Ethernet
port, however, you will need to configure the corresponding IP numbers
before use. The Ethernet port will not be functional until this configuration is
complete. Please read Section 8 - ETHERNET PORT CONFIGURATION for
more information about the Cyclone IP Setup Utility.
Once you have connected the Cyclone MAX to the PC via either a Serial or a
USB cable, you can launch the Cyclone MAX Configuration Utility
(CreateImage.exe) application:

port on the Cyclone MAX.
(5) Displays the pinout configuration for the selected architecture.
(6) Allows the user to set the BDM Shift Frequency by selecting from the
drop-down box.
(7) Allows the user to set the Reset Delay.
(8) The “Store Image To Cyclone” button allows the user to store the
current image on the Cyclone MAX.
(9) The “Store Image To Disk” button allows the user to store the current
image on their hard drive. The Manage Image Utility can be used to
configure the Cyclone with one or more images.
At this stage you are simply configuring the Cyclone Max with the appropriate
data file and programming procedure. Actual programming of the target
hardware occurs later.
Once the information required in Areas 1-4 is complete, you may configure
the Cyclone Max by clicking the “Store Image to Cyclone MAX” button. Figure
2-1 indicates that this will be performed over the USB Port, USB1, as
displayed in Area 4. You may also select the Serial port, or the Ethernet port if
it has been configured appropriately.
After the image has been saved to the Cyclone Max, you can program a
target by simply pressing the “Start” button on the Cyclone Max. This will
begin the sequence that was specified in Area 3 (in this example: erase,
blank check, program, verify programmed data).
The complete functionality of the Cyclone MAX and its accompanying utilities
is beyond the scope of this Getting Started section. Please read further to
learn more about the full feature set and operation of the Cyclone MAX. For a
detailed description of the Cyclone MAX Configuration Utility, please refer to
Section 4 - STAND-ALONE PROGRAMMER CONFIGURATION.

3CYCLONE MAX HARDWARE
This section describes the various ports and inputs of the Cyclone MAX.
3.1 Power Source
The Cyclone MAX requires a regulated 6V DC Center Positive power supply
with 2.5/5.5mm female plug. The Cyclone MAX receives its power from the
power jack located on the side of the unit.
Figure 3-1: Power Jack
3.2 Serial (RS232) Communications Port
The Cyclone MAX provides a DB9 Female connector for communication with
a host computer through the Serial (RS232) Port. Communication takes place
at a fixed baud rate of 115200 Baud, 8 Data bits, No Parity, and 1 Stop Bit.

3.3 USB 1.1 Communications Port
The Cyclone MAX provides a USB connector for communicating with a PC via
the Universal Serial Bus port. The Cyclone MAX is a USB 1.1 compliant
device.
Figure 3-3: USB Port
3.4 Ethernet Communications Port
The Cyclone MAX provides a standard RJ45 socket for communication with a
host computer through the Ethernet Port. The Ethernet Port of the Cyclone
MAX is a 10/100 baseT port.

3.7 PORT C – ColdFire Interface & ColdFire Extension Cable
Port C is the interface for the ColdFire MCF52xx/53xx/54xx family of
microprocessors. This port connects to the target hardware using either the
ColdFire extension cable (for synchronous ColdFire targets) or a standard 26-
pin ribbon cable (for asynchronous ColdFire targets). Both cables are
provided in the Cyclone MAX package. Please refer to each processor’s user
manual to identify whether it is a synchronous or asynchronous interface. If
you are not sure, or for test purposes, the synchronous cable will work with all
52xx, 53xx, and 54xx targets. For the physical dimensions of the connector,
please see Section 3.14 - Ribbon Cable with IDC Socket.
