1 INTRODUCTION
PEmicro's CYCLONE FX 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_FX supports a wide variety of ARM Cortex devices.
The CYCLONE_UNIVERSAL_FX 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), ColdFire, and STMicroelectronics’ SPC5 & STM8.
Figure 1-1: CYCLONE FX Supported Architectures
CYCLONE FX 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 the Cyclone Control Suite. See CHAPTER 8 - CYCLONE PROGRAMMER
AUTOMATED CONTROL (CYCLONE CONTROL SUITE)..
User Manual For CYCLONE FX Programmers 1
2 QUICK START GUIDE FOR SAP OPERATION
Stand-Alone Programming (SAP) is the most common use of the CYCLONE FX. 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 FX.
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 CHAPTER 4 - 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
Section 8.5.1 - Hardware Licensing.
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 (CreateImage.exe)
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, select All Programs. From there, select “PEmicro
Cyclone Programmer”, then select -> Cyclone Image Creation Utility. The utility is
shown in Figure 2-1. Continue with the steps below to create an image.
User Manual For CYCLONE FX Programmers 2
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. The Cyclone Control GUI will pop up. Use the drop-down box to select the Cyclone to
which the image will be saved, then click the “Connect” button. Finally click "Apply
Changes" and the image information will be stored on the Cyclone you selected. 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 FX Programmers 3
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.

only) provide a software configurable 9.8304MHz or 4.9152 MHz oscillator clock signal to Pin 13 of
the MON08 Connector. The user may use this clock signal to overdrive the target RC or crystal
circuitry. If this signal is not used, just leave Pin 13 of the target MON08 header unconnected.
Please note that if the target already uses an oscillator as its clock, the Cyclone will NOT be able to
overdrive it. The clock should have sufficient drive to be used with a target system even if the
target system has an RC circuit or crystal connected.
3.15 Cyclone Time / Real Time Clock
CYCLONE FX programmers are equipped with a Real Time Clock (RTC) module designed to
keep accurate timing even when the Cyclone is turned off.
The Date & Time are displayed on the home screen. Date/Time settings can be configured by
navigating to the following menu using the touchscreen display:
Main Menu / Configure Cyclone Settings / Configure Time Settings
For more information on the available configuration options, see Section 5.2.3.3 - Configure
Time Settings (Cyclone Time / Real Time Clock).
3.16 Power Jumper Settings
The Power Jumpers must be set differently for various power management options that the
CYCLONE FX offers. If the target is being powered independently of the CYCLONE FX, all pins in
the Power Jumpers header must instead be left unpopulated. To reveal the Power Jumpers
header, lift the access panel on the left end of the CYCLONE FX. The location is indicated as
Power Jumpers in Figure 3-5. Please see CHAPTER 4 - TARGET POWER MANAGEMENT for
the correct jumper settings for the Cyclone’s power management options. A quick guide to these
settings is also located on the underside label of the CYCLONE FX.
3.17 Debug Connectors
When purchasing a CYCLONE FX programmer, the user is able to choose between two part
numbers, each corresponding to a different level of device support. See the sticker on the
underside of the Cyclone to determine the PEmicro part# for your specific CYCLONE FX
programmer.
PEmicro Part# CYCLONE_ACP_FX supports ARM Cortex devices only, so this programmer
provides one shrouded, un-keyed, 0.100-inch pitch dual row 0.025-inch square header, and two
shrouded, keyed 0.050-inch pitch dual row mini headers.
PEmicro Part# CYCLONE_UNIVERSAL_FX supports ARM Cortex devices and additionally
supports target connections to many 8-/16-/32-bit NXP architectures, so this programmer provides
six shrouded, un-keyed, 0.100-inch pitch dual row 0.025-inch square headers, and two shrouded,
keyed 0.050-inch pitch dual row mini headers.
To reveal the headers and connect/disconnect ribbon cables, lift the access panel on the left end

3.20 Ribbon Cable
CYCLONE FX programmers communicate with the target through ribbon cables. The ribbon
cables for standard debug connectors have a 0.100-inch centerline dual row socket IDC assembly
(not keyed). The ribbon cables for 10- and 20-pin mini debug connectors have a 0.050-inch
centerline dual row socket IDC assembly (keyed). The ribbon cables are designed such that the
Cyclone’s Debug Connector has the same pinout as the Target Header, i.e., Pin 1 of the Cyclone’s
Debug Connector is connected to Pin 1 of the Target Header. As an example, Figure 3-24
sketches the connection mechanism (looking down into the sockets) for a 14-pin ribbon cable.
Ribbon cables for other supported architectures use a similar scheme, but may have more or
fewer pins.

4 TARGET POWER MANAGEMENT
Different target devices may require different power schemes which depend on the design of the
target board, target voltages, and even the device architecture. PEmicro has designed the
CYCLONE FX to be capable of powering a target before, during, and after programming. Power
can be sourced at many voltage levels from the Cyclone itself, or sourced by an external power
supply and switched by the Cyclone.
Figure 4-1: Five different paths to power a target
The versatility of the Cyclone power scheme gives the user the utmost flexibility, and includes the
following features:
• Provides power through a power jack or through the debug connector
• Provides internally generated voltage from 1.6v-5.5v at up to 500mA
• Switches an external power supply voltage, up to 24V at 1amp
• Selectively powers the target before, during, and after programming
• Powers down the target connections between programming operations
• Uses power switching to aid entry into debug mode for certain targets
• Provides target voltage and current measurement capabilities
If target power is required, each target board may vary where the power is sourced from, externally
or internally, and how it is channeled to the target: through the debug header or to a separate
connector to the board. Power that is passed through and managed by the Cyclone goes through
power relays so it can be power cycled. This is extremely useful because it also allows the power
to be off during setup and automatically powered on by the Cyclone for programming. For some
devices, the process of entering debug mode requires that the device be powered down and
powered back up. Power can also be left in a desired power state, either on or off.
4.1 Cyclone Configuration
There are two different places Power Management is configured and they should be matched:
first, by the jumpers on the CYCLONE FX, and second, in the setup of the programming image.
The Cyclone jumpers are the most important because they are the physical connection to the
target. The Cyclone has an easy access panel that reveals debug header connections for a variety
of different architectures, and a 2x4 jumper block for configuring power management of the target.
The specific location of the jumpers is indicated by the label POWER JUMPERS in Figure 4-3.
This set of 4 jumpers can be used to set 5 different power management schemes for the target.
User Manual For CYCLONE FX Programmers 21
Note: If these jumpers are not set correctly, the Cyclone will not function as intended.

Figure 4-2: Cyclone Power Schemes & Corresponding Jumper Settings
The bottom edge of the CYCLONE FX has a Power In jack for externally provided power, and the
top edge of the Cyclone has Power Out jack, for when power schemes including these are used
(see Figure 4-3). One of the provided ribbon cables is connected to the appropriate debug header
based on the specific target architecture.
Figure 4-3: Cyclone Hardware Features: Power Jumpers and Target Headers
The power settings that are set by the jumpers are a physical connection and take precedence.
User Manual For CYCLONE FX Programmers 22
After the basic hardware setup, target power and voltage settings are also set in the creation of a
SAP (stand-alone programming) image. At a minimum the SAP image contains all the commands
to Erase, Program, and Verify a programming image. More sophisticated power selections in the
SAP image can control the relays, target voltage, delays, and power down after SAP operations,
as shown in the selection dialog.
Target voltages (with appropriate jumper settings) in the range of 1.6 to 5.5 volts may be provided.
There is also the option to select the internal Cyclone relays to power cycle the Cyclone during
programming, and set the length of delays during power up and down. This is extremely useful to
make sure the power is off when hooking up the target. Power cycling is especially important for
architectures that require it to enter debug mode. The SAP image settings may even be used to
turn off the target power once programming is completed, to ensure that the microcontroller is left
in a halted state and not running.
4.2 Cyclone Setup
Below is a tutorial that demonstrates how to set up the CYCLONE FX in each of the 5 power
configurations. A very common configuration is the independently powered target. In this power
scenario, the Cyclone will detect and use the power on the target for the appropriate debug
communication voltages.
Figure 4-4: Target Power & Voltage Settings
4.2.1 Independently Powered Target
In the simplest and most common scenario, no jumpers are set, so the target is powered
independently from the Cyclone. No power is passed through the debug header, just the standard
debug signals. The Cyclone automatically detects the target power and sets the debug signals to
match.
Figure 4-5: Independently Powered Target
4.2.2 Power provided by the Cyclone to the debug cable
It is also possible for the Cyclone to generate power through an internal regulator in the range of
1.6 to 5.5 Volts. In the jumper configuration below, the Cyclone generates the power through a
voltage regulator, and passes it through the power relays and out through the debug ribbon cable,
which is set up during the SAP image creation. There is only one connection to the target
processor which will handle both the communication and the power. In this scenario, external
power must not be connected to the Power In jack since it is already being provided.
User Manual For CYCLONE FX Programmers 23
Figure 4-6: Power Provided by the Cyclone to the Debug Cable
4.2.3 External Power passed through the Cyclone and out 2.5 mm barrel port
It is also possible to provide external power, passed through the Cyclone power relays, and back
out to be available to power the target board externally. This is useful when the user wants to
control the power to the target and the target board has an external power connector. Setting a
single jumper will connect the barrel port input connector on the bottom edge of the Cyclone,
through the relays, to a matched 2.5 mm barrel port output connector on the top edge of the
Cyclone, so that the power can be routed into and back out of the Cyclone.
Figure 4-7: External Power Passed Through the Cyclone and Out 2.5 mm Barrel Port
4.2.4 External Power passed through the Cyclone to the debug cable
In a slightly different scenario, the user may wish to provide power to the target through the debug
cable. On the bottom edge of the Cyclone is a 2.5 mm Power In port barrel which will pass power
through target relays which lets the Cyclone take control of the power cycling during programming.
This simple setup requires only an input to the Cyclone and a single ribbon cable connection to the
target board that handles both communication and power. The external power provided must be
between 1.6 to 5.5 volts.
User Manual For CYCLONE FX Programmers 24
Figure 4-8: External Power Passed Through the Cyclone to the Debug Cable
4.2.5 Power provided by the Cyclone and out 2.5 mm barrel port
In a slightly different scenario, the user may wish to have the Cyclone provide power, but power
the target via an external connector on the target. The voltage supplied to the target is determined
by the settings in the SAP image. When generating the SAP image the Cyclone relays must be
selected as well as the correct voltage level for the target.
Figure 4-9: Power Provided by the Cyclone and Out 2.5 mm Barrel Port
4.3 Setup Reminders
The most important step when providing power out to a target is to check the Cyclone's jumper
settings to make sure they match the intended power setup. The jumpers control the power
settings which determine how power is supplied, regardless of the SAP image settings. If the
jumpers are set for power to be provided through the Cyclone, and the target is externally
powered, this is a conflict and may cause damage to the board.
In the case where power is being supplied through the Cyclone and the target is not being
powered on, the user should first check the jumper settings to make sure they match the
intended power setup. Second, the user should check to make sure the SAP image has the ‘Use
Cyclone Relays’ box checked with the appropriate voltage level selected.
