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.

• 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

(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.
