1 INTRODUCTION
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
• Power Architecture BDM (MPC5xx/8xx)
• Qorivva (MPC55xx/56xx)
• ColdFire V2/3/4 (MCF52xx/53xx/54xx)
CYCLONE MAX
• Kinetis ARM
• ARM Nexus (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 and CompactFlash Storage
• Onboard storage of 7 Megabytes. Stores the image to be

programmed, programming algorithm, and any configuration settings.
• CompactFlash storage available with purchase of CompactFlash
activation license.
• Multiple images may be saved using the onboard or CompactFlash
(when activated) 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.
2 Cyclone MAX User Manual
2 GETTING STARTED
Stand-alone programming is 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 Image Creation 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,
USB, or Ethernet cable, you can launch the Cyclone MAX Image Creation
Utility in order to create a SAP image. A “SAP” Image, or Stand-Alone
Programming Image, is a self-contained image of programming algorithms,
programming procedures, and program data. Once the SAP Image has been
created, it can be transferred to the Cyclone MAX or saved to disk for later
use. The Cyclone MAX uses SAP Images to perform stand-alone programming
of target devices

(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 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” button.
After the image has been saved, 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.
Another option is to save the SAP Image to disk. This allows you to transfer
the image to several different Cyclones, or conversely to transfer several
images to one Cyclone. The utility that allows you to transfer multiple images
to the Cyclone MAX (or its accompanying CompactFlash card) is called the
Manage Images Utility.
2.3 Manage Images Utility
Once the programming images have been created and saved to the disk
using the Create Image utility, they may then be loaded collectively onto the
Cyclone. The Manage Images utility, shown in Figure 2-2, allows the Cyclone
to store and manage multiple images in the Cyclone’s internal memory. If you
have purchased a CompactFlash activation license it will also allow you to
store and manage multiple images on any compatible CompactFlash cards
Cyclone MAX User Manual 5
CYCLONE MAX
that are loaded into the Cyclone’s CompactFlash port.
Figure 2-2: Manage Images Utility
Upon opening a selected Cyclone MAX, the user is provided in the top left
panel with a list of the images currently on the unit’s internal memory. If the
CompactFlash license has been activated, a list of images on any connected
CompactFlash card will also be displayed in the bottom left panel. The panels
to the right can be used to add or delete additional images by using the Add
and Remove buttons beneath each panel.
6 Cyclone MAX User Manual
CYCLONE MAX
Once the images that you wish to load appear in the panels to the right, you
must press “Commit Changes” to load the Cyclone accordingly. No changes
made to the Cyclone MAX until the “Commit Changes” button is pressed.
Note: Any images that are already stored on the Cyclone MAX or CompactFlash
can only be removed by using the “Remove All” button.

Figure 4-11: Programming Operations Dialog Section
In the Programming Sequence field, the user may specify the algorithm, SRecord, and operations to be carried out.
Choose Module
Presents a list of available programming files. Each programming file contains
information on how to program a particular module. Usually, the name of the
file indicates what kind of module it relates to.
Specify S-Record
Asks for the name (and/or path) to a file of Freescale S-records to be used in
programming or verifying a module. If the file is not found, an error message
is given. The currently-selected file is shown in the S19 file selected window.
The programmer accepts S1, S2, and S3 records. All other file records are
treated as comments. If you do not specify a file-name extension, a default of
.S19 is used. The programmer also supports ELF/Dwarf 2.0 object files.
Your S19 file may contain data for both EEPROM and flash. If you know that
your S19 file contains the correct data, “Ignore S19 Range” may be checked.

6 STAND ALONE PROGRAMMER AUTOMATED CONTROL
There are various means of controlling the Cyclone MAX in an automated
environment. Included with the Cyclone MAX is the Basic Edition of P&E's
Cyclone Automated Control SDK, which includes:
1. The CYCLONE LAUNCH software, which allows control of a single
Cyclone MAX via script files
2. A DLL which may be used by a host application to control a single
Cyclone MAX
6.1 Automated .EXE Control of The Cyclone
The user can operate the Cyclone MAX in an automated production
environment via PC software called CYCLONE_LAUNCH.EXE. The
CYCLONE LAUNCH software performs all operations specified in a simple
ASCII script file written by the user. A separate batch file would typically be
used to launch the software with the correct parameters.
6.1.1 Startup
a) Connect the Cyclone MAX to the PC via Serial Port, USB Port, or Ethernet.
b) Connect the Cyclone MAX to the target system.
c) Power up the PC and the target system.
d) Run the software from the DOS prompt. Allowed command-line parameters
are:
CYCLONE_LAUNCH [configuration script filename] [?] [!] [-O] [output filename]
Where [configuration script filename] is a configuration file containing all
operations to be carried out. Refer to Section 6.1.3 - Configuration Script
File for more details regarding the contents of configuration files. This must be
the first parameter passed to the application. This parameter should be
enclosed in quotes if it contains spaces.
[?] designates that Cyclone Launch should remain open when operations are
completed. If this parameter is not specified, the utility will automatically close
upon completion.
Cyclone MAX User Manual 45
CYCLONE MAX
[!] designates that Cyclone Launch should remain open if any error is
encountered. If there is no error, the software will automatically close upon
completion.
[-O] designates that the results are saved in an output file following this
parameter. The [output filename] parameter is mandatory if [-O] is used.
[output filename] is an output file that contains the operation results. A user
can check the output file to see if the operations were successful.
6.1.2 Command-Line Parameter Examples
Example 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CYCLONE_LAUNCH config_script.cfg !
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Cyclone MAX executes all operations specified in the “config_script.cfg”
file. The CYCLONE_LAUNCH application remains open if any error occurs.

out the pre-configured Cyclone operations.
Comments are allowed in the script files. All lines beginning with the semicolon character ; are treated as comments by the application.
6.1.3.1 Setup Commands
SETLOCALIP=ipaddress
Only needed if the host PC has more than one network card. “ipaddress”
indicates the IP address of the network card that should be used during
communications. If this command is used, it should be the first command in
the script file. “ipaddress” should be in the format of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where
xxx=0...255.
OPENTYPE=x
Specifies whether the Cyclone MAX will be identified by IP address or by
device name. Both of these Cyclone parameters are reconfigurable by the
user. and need to be set up prior to using CYCLONE_LAUNCH. Please see
Section 8.6 - Cyclone IP Setup Utility User Interface (ConfigureIP)
for more information on how to configure the Cyclone IP number and the
Cyclone Device Name. Note that this choice of Cyclone identification is not
affected by how the Cyclone is connected to the PC (USB, Ethernet, or Serial).

6.2 Automated .DLL Control Of The Cyclone
Another automated means of controlling a Cyclone MAX unit is via a Windows
.DLL. The .DLL allows a host application to connect to a Cyclone MAX and
control stand-alone programming operations. Included with the Cyclone MAX
is a .DLL which allows control of a single Cyclone MAX. Example code and
documentation is included which demonstrates use of the .DLL with a
Microsoft Visual C/C++ application, a Microsoft Visual C# application, and a
Borland Delphi application, although the .DLL is not limited to these
development environments. Any application which can load and use a .DLL
can be used for automated control of a single Cyclone unit.
DLL Information, Interface Code, and Examples
Documentation on how to use the DLL can be found in the “Cyclone
Automated Control SDK User’s Manual”, which is included in .pdf format with
the Cyclone MAX. The documented interface routines are available in the
CYCLONE_CONTROL.DLL library included in the software install. This .DLL
is callable from almost any 32-bit Windows development environment. The
method of calling the .DLL varies for different compilers, so .DLL interface
code and sample applications are provided for each of the following
compilers:
Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0+ - Visual MFC Application
Microsoft Visual C# 2005 – Visual Application
Borland Delphi 2.0+ (Pascal) - Visual Application
The sample applications come with project and workspaces defined for ease
of use. Just open the project/workspace in your compiler and you will be able
to build the sample application without any modifications.

6.3 Control Of Multiple Cyclone Units
CYCLONE MAX
The utilities included with the Cyclone allow the unit to be updated and
controlled in an automated fashion. The user can change the image in the
Cyclone and execute the programming images resident on the unit under
control from a host computer, or without a computer at all. These utilities/
drivers focus on controlling a single Cyclone unit.
However, it may also be desirable to control multiple Cyclone units
simultaneously from a host PC. Since the Cyclone is a self-contained
computer system, including all programming algorithms, data, and processing
power necessary for programming, the host PC only needs to provide minimal
control information. This means that an enormous number of Cyclone units
may be controlled from a single PC.
P&E offers the Professional and Enterprise editions of the Cyclone
Automated Control SDK separately. These editions update the Cyclone
Launch software as well as the DLL to allow control of multiple Cyclone units
simultaneously. In addition, they include support for automated programming
of dynamic data and management of multiple programming images.
This SDK (software development kit) supports both the Cyclone PRO and the
Cyclone MAX programmers, meaning that any supported Freescale devices
can be programmed in parallel, even if they are different devices with different

data. More information may be found at www.pemicro.com.
6.4 Serial And Ethernet Protocol Specifications
All of P&E’s automated control utilities and DLLs work via the serial port as
well as the Ethernet and USB ports. Occasionally a customer will need
access to the underlying protocol used by the P&E utilities. A specification for
the serial and ethernet protocols used to control the Cyclone MAX are
available as part of the Enterprise Edition of P&E’s Cyclone Automated
Control Package. This is useful for embedded or non-Windows platform
control of the Cyclone Programmer.

CYCLONE MAX
8 ETHERNET PORT CONFIGURATION
This chapter describes the mechanism used by the Cyclone MAX device to
transact data over an Ethernet network. It primarily focuses on the User
Datagram Protocol (UDP), which is a popular method for sending data over a
network when the speed of a data transaction is of more concern than the
guarantee of its delivery. The Cyclone takes advantage of the UDP protocol’s
penchant for speed, and adds an extra layer of logic to guarantee the delivery
of UDP packets in order to offer a best-of-both-worlds solution.
Note: Users who are familiar with ethernet protocol may wish to skip ahead to
Section 8.6 - Cyclone IP Setup Utility User Interface (ConfigureIP).
8.1 Network Architecture
Before delving into the innards of Ethernet message passing, it is prudent to
briefly describe the different network architectures in use today, and how they
pertain to the operation of the Cyclone MAX. Computers are, of course,
connected to one another through intermediary devices in order to form
networks. There are several classes of these intermediary devices, but they
generally fall into one of the following three groups:
Hubs
At the most basic level, computers are connected to one another through
a Hub. A Hub is a device with several ports that are used to connect
multiple computers together. It is a repeater device – a Hub simply copies
incoming data on one of its ports as data outgoing on the other ports. In
this manner, if there are four computers connected through a Hub, and if
the first computer is sending data to the second computer, then the third
and the fourth computers will also receive an identical copy of the data.
Hubs are usually used to set up a small Local Area Network (LAN), which
may have on the order of 10 to 20 computers.
Switches
The aforementioned types of process, where the data is simply replicated
onto every available port, quickly becomes inefficient for larger sized
networks. For this reason, a larger sized LAN employs the usage of
Switches instead of Hubs. A Switch is essentially a smart Hub, in that it
limits the input and output of data to the two transacting computers.
Routers
Larger networks, such as Wide Area Networks (WANs), or the Internet for
Cyclone MAX User Manual 61
CYCLONE MAX
that matter, us progressively more sophisticated devices to transact data.
At the core of these devices is the Router, which functions as a switch
between networks.
The Cyclone performs irrespective of the connection mechanisms, with one
very important caveat: it needs to be set up with the appropriate network
parameters for the underlying network architectures.
8.2 Network Parameters
A typical network becomes operational not after the physical connections
have been established, but after network parameters in the form of IP
(Internet Protocol) numbers have been assigned to the individual computers.
An IP number is unique string that consists of four numbers ranting between 0
and 255, separated by dots, e.g., 192.168.1.2. Every computer that is on a
network needs to have a unique IP number. The computer uses this IP
number to identify itself on the network, and also to address the recipient of its
data.
Assignation of this IP number is sufficient information to transact data on a
simple network connected by a hub. On a more complex network, however,
routing information becomes important. The routing information consist of two
more IP numbers. The first of these is called the Subnet Mask, and is used to
determine whether or not the destination resides on the same subnet (i.e.,
doesn’t need to be forwarded to another network). The other IP number is the
Gateway Address, which is the address of the computer that handles
forwarding and receiving of packets to and from other networks.
Before first use, the Cyclone needs to be programmed with a unique IP
number, the Subnet Mask IP number, and also the default Gateway’s IP
number. This can be done via the USB or the Serial port, and is described in
greater detail in Section 8.7 - Configuring Via The Cyclone IP
Configuration Utility to configure the Cyclone MAX” section of this manual.
8.3 Internet Protocol
Once the network has been established, and the IP numbers have been
assigned, data can be transacted over a network with one of several
protocols. By far the most prevalent protocol is the Transmission Control
Protocol (TCP), which runs on top of the Internet Protocol in what is
collectively known as the TCP/IP protocol. The TCP/IP protocol was
developed by the Department of Defense to connect different computers from
62 Cyclone MAX User Manual
CYCLONE MAX
different vendors by a “network of networks,” which as become what is known
as the Internet today.
The primary purpose of the TCP/IP protocol was to prevent a complete
network outage in the case of a nuclear attack, by automatically rerouting data
traffic through the functioning part of the network. As such, the TCP/IP
mechanism guaranteed delivery of data packets by introducing a system of
acknowledgments and sequence numbers for the data packets. This
mechanism, which good for transacting large amounts of data (such as email
or file transfers), is unsuitable in the real-time type environment in which the
Cyclone operates. Because the Cyclone needs to transact data as quickly as
possible to the target, it takes advantage of TCP/IP’s alternative, the UDP/IP
protocol.
Unlike TCP/IP, the UDP/IP protocol is a connectionless, single-packet
protocol that sends short data packets at the expense of not guaranteeing
their delivery. This makes the UDP/IP protocol efficient in real-time
applications such as broadcasting video over the Internet, where the
occasional loss of a frame of data is not going to hamper the overall viewing
experience. Left unmodified, the UDP/IP, with its lack of guarantees for packet
delivery, would be unusable in an environment where the delivery of a single
byte of data needs to be guaranteed. The Cyclone firmware adds
mechanisms to the UDP/IP protocol, without affecting its underlying efficiency,
to guarantee delivery of data packets.
8.4 Connecting the Cyclone Device
There are two methods for establishing a connection between a Cyclone and
a PC with an Ethernet cable. The most basic method is to connect the
Cyclone directly to a PC, via a cross-over Ethernet cable. However, the more
common method is to place the Cyclone and the PC on the same network
through a Hub.
8.4.1 Connecting the Cyclone to the PC over a network
The Cyclone was intended for use on a network of multiple computers (and
other Cyclones). There are many possible network configurations, and to
describe them all is beyond the scope of this document. However, most
configurations are a modification of a basic theme, which is that of connecting
one or more PCs through a Hub to one or more Cyclones. In order to connect
these devices to the Hub, you will need to use the provided straight-through
Ethernet cable. The straight-through cable, which is the “standard” Ethernet
Cyclone MAX User Manual 63
CYCLONE MAX
cable, is used to connect devices of different types together, such as a PC to
a Hub, or a Hub to a Cyclone. At this point it once again becomes necessary
to program the Cyclone with valid IP numbers, the process for which is
described in greater detail in the following section. However, it is important for
the Cyclone and the PCs to have matching Subnet and Gateway IP numbers,
and for each to have a unique IP number on the network. An example of a
setting for above is as follows:
IP Number Gateway IP Subnet Mask
PC1 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.3 255.255.255.0
PC2 192.168.100.2 192.168.100.3 255.255.255.0
CYCLONE 192.168.100.4 192.168.100.3 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.100.3 192.168.100.3 255.255.255.0
It is important to briefly touch upon the underlying network architecture, which
can be a 10Mb (Megabit), 100Mb, 10/100Mb, half-duplex, or a full duplex
connection. The details of the underlying network architecture are beyond the
scope of this document, but it is sufficient to note that most modern network
cards, as well as the Cyclone device, have the capability to configure
themselves for the underlying network through the Auto-negotiation
mechanism. Auto-negotiation is performed as soon as a network cable is
connected to the device, and it sets the operating parameters of the device to
match those of the network.
8.4.2 Connecting Cyclone-to-PC via an Ethernet cable
In order to connect the Cyclone to a PC directly via an Ethernet cable, you
need to use what is known as a cross-over cable. A cross-over cable, which is
not provided by P&E, is normally used to connect two similar devices such as
a PC to a PC, or a Hub to a Hub. It is a cable that has its receive and transmit
wires crossed over so that the similar devices can effectively communicate
with one another.
With this configuration, it is still important to assign IP numbers to both the PC
and the Cyclone device. Although at first glance it may not seem necessary to
assign a Gateway address in this configuration, the Cyclone was designed to
operate on a network of more than two computers, and therefore it needs to
be programmed with a Gateway address.

Assuming the desktop’s IP number to be 192.168.100.1, this is an example of
the three IP numbers that would need to be programmed into the Cyclone:

8.6 Cyclone IP Setup Utility User Interface (ConfigureIP)
Before the Cyclone device transacts data on an Ethernet network, it will need
to be configured with the relevant network parameters. The application that
provides this capability is the Cyclone IP Setup Utility (ConfigureIP), which
can be found as part of the distribution software.
This utility is used to configure the Cyclone MAX with network parameters,
and also to update the firmware of the Cyclone MAX.

8.7 Configuring Via The Cyclone IP Configuration Utility
Before the Cyclone MAX is ready to communicate over an Ethernet network,
it will need to be configured with the relevant network parameters. The
application that provides this capability is the Cyclone IP Configuration Utility,
and is provided as part of the standard Cyclone MAX software distribution.
In order to update the network parameters, perform the following steps:
1. Connect a Cyclone MAX to the PC via a serial or a USB cable, and
make sure that it is powered before launching the Cyclone
Configuration Utility. The Cyclone MAX Configuration Utility starts
up with the following screen:

2. Assuming that the Cyclone MAX is connected to the COM1 serial
port of the PC, switch from “Ethernet Port” to “Serial Port”, at which
point the second drop-down box will display COM1. Click “Open” to
get a dialog box similar to the following:

3. The Cyclone MAX now needs to be programmed with IP numbers for the
network on which it will operate. The Cyclone IP Number field must contain a
unique IP number.
8.8 Serial And Ethernet Protocol Specifications
All of the P&E utilities included with the Cyclone MAX will work via the
Ethernet port, as well as the serial and USB ports. These utilities allow
configuration and control of the Cyclone programmer. Occasionally a
customer will need access to the underlying protocol used by P&E utilities to
configure and control the Cyclone programmer. A specification for the serial
and ethernet protocols used to control the Cyclone MAX is available as part of
the Enterprise Edition of P&E’s Cyclone Automated Control Package. This is
useful for embedded or non-Windows platform control of the Cyclone
Programmer.

11 AUTOMATIC SERIAL NUMBER MECHANISM
When producing a microcontroller- or microprocessor-based product, it is
often useful to program a unique serial number into the permanent memory
(FLASH) of the product.
P&E has developed a serial number mechanism to automate this process.
Each time you issue a serialization command in the programming software,
the current serial number is programmed at a specified address. In addition,
the serial number is incremented to the next available serial number and
saved for future serialized programming operations.
The Cyclone MAX adopts this automatic serial number mechanism for its
stand-alone operations.
11.1 Understanding Serialization
The automatic serial number mechanism supports serial numbers from 1 to
16 bytes in length. Each byte of a serial number ranges between a lower and
an upper bound. This approach allows the individual bytes of the serial
number to have distinct properties. Some of the forms these properties can
take are:
Type
Constant Constant Constant
Binary 00 FF
ASCII Printable 20 7E
ASCII Numeric 30 39
ASCII Upper Case Letter 41 5A
ASCII Lower Case Letter 61 7A
Other XX YY
Lower Bound (hex) Upper Bound (hex)
Each serial number and its properties are stored in a separate file. Any file
name can be used for the serial number file, however the extension .ser is
normally appended because it makes it simpler locate the file.
A free utility called Serialize has been developed to make it easy to create,
visualize, edit, and maintain these serial number files. The Serialize utility can
be downloaded from the FAQs, Manuals, & Downloads tab of the Cyclone
MAX product page, at: www.pemicro.com/max.

The up and down arrows let you add or delete bytes for the serial number,
max=10 hex (16 base ten), min=1.
• Up Arrow Click - Adds new bytes to the Serial Number. Each byte
added appears as a new column in the serial number representation.
Added bytes are input as Binary Bytes, i.e. the upper bound is FF and
the lower bound is 00.
• Down Arrow Click - Deletes bytes from the right end of the Serial
Number. Any previously entered byte properties are lost.
11.2.3 Count Sequence
This window lets you count up or down through the sequencing of the serial
number. The serial number is allowed to wrap over the top of the highest
serial number or below the lowest serial number. Note that in P&E
programmers, the serial number can only count up and any attempt to
overflow will cause an error.
• Up Arrow Click - Counts the serial number up.
• Down Arrow Click - Counts the serial number down.
11.2.4 Serial Number Bytes as Hex
There is one display column for each byte in the serial number shown as
printable ASCII characters. Non-printable ASCII characters are indicated by
the small solid block graphic.
• Up Arrow Click - Counts the serial number up.
• Down Arrow Click - Counts the serial number down.
11.2.5 Hex Upper Bounds
There is one display column for each upper bound of the byte in the serial
number in hex.
• Up Arrow Click - Increases the upper bound by one with a maximum
of FF Hex.
• Down Arrow Click - Decreases the upper bound by one with a
minimum of the current serial number byte value.
74 Cyclone MAX User Manual
• Double Click on Hex - Selects or deselects the byte column. Selected
shown in yellow. The serial number byte in this column may then be
modified using the buttons at the bottom of the Serialize utility. Please
refer to Section 11.2.11 - BINARY, NUMERIC, CONSTANT, ALPHA
UPPER, ALPHA LOWER, and PRINTABLE.
11.2.6 Hex Lower Bounds
There is one display column for each byte of the lower bound of the serial
number in hex.
• Up Arrow Click - Increases the lower bound by one with a maximum
of the current serial number byte value.
• Down Arrow Click - Decreases the lower bound by one with a
minimum of 00 Hex.
11.2.7 NEW
Instructs the program to start editing a NEW (as yet un-named) serial number
file. It will throw away the information for any serial number currently being
edited unless that information has been saved (Save Button). The new serial
number is initialized with one (1) byte of binary.
CYCLONE MAX
11.2.8 SAVE
Instructs the program to save the current serial number being edited into the
file name and path shown in the Serial Number File window. If a file name has
not been provided, i.e. the window shows None Selected, then an error is
displayed in a red window on the screen. If this happens, type in a filename in
the window and click Save again.
11.2.9 HELP
Opens the Serialize help system (serialize.hlp file, i.e. this file) for perusal.
11.2.10 QUIT

PRINTABLE
These buttons are used to set the properties of selected (colored yellow)
bytes of the Serial Number. Individual bytes whose properties you wish to
modify are selected or deselected by double-clicking in the Hex Upper
Bounds box in the column that corresponds with the values for a particular
byte.
11.3 Serialize Utility Example
This example shows:
1. Currently editing file C:\Example.ser
2. Number of bytes in the serial number is 10 Hex (= 16 base ten)
3. Starting address is 0000000 Hex
4. Next Serial number is AAA-P&E-9999 in ASCII
a. First 3 bytes are Upper Case Alphabetic ASCII (AAA)
b. Next 5 bytes are Constants (-P&E-)
c. Last 4 bytes are Numeric ASCII (9999)
5. This provides for a maximum of 6,760,000 (26x26x26x10x10x10x10)
serial numbers from AAA-P&E-0000 to ZZZ-P&E-9999.
6. The last 4 bytes of the serial number are selected (colored yellow) so
that their properties can be changed using the forced selected byte
buttons on the bottom of the screen.
11.4 Using Serial Number File
The command to invoke the serial number file in P&E’s interactive
programming software is “CS Choose Serial File”. The command to actually
program the serial number to target and automatically increment the serial
number afterward is “PS Program Serial Number”.
P&E’s command line software uses the same commands in a command line
fashion to invoke the serial number file, initiate its programming, and
increment:
CS serial_number_file.ser
PS
76 Cyclone MAX User Manual
CYCLONE MAX
11.5 Serial Number Handling in Cyclone MAX
The Cyclone MAX’s firmware implements the automatic serial number
mechanism. The same serial number files are used with the Cyclone Image
Creation Utility, and the same commands are used to specify the serial
number file and initiate serial number programming and incrementation. The
serial number data structure is saved in the SAP image. Once a serial number
is programmed, the Cyclone MAX firmware automatically increments the
serial number and stores it in the Cyclone MAX’s flash for internal images or
external CompactFlash for external SAP images.
The CS and PS commands are not present in the Cyclone Image Creation
Utility until a valid programming algorithm is specified.
To complement the Cyclone’s usage in production environments, the Cyclone
MAX supports multiple serial number structures for each programming
algorithm block. Each SAP image may contain multiple programming
algorithms for every memory module it needs to program, and each
programming algorithm block may contain multiple serial number structures.
The SAP image sequence below illustrates this briefly:
