    INTRODUCTION PEmicro's Cyclone LC 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. Part# CYCLONE-LC-ARM supports a wide variety of ARM Cortex devices. Part# CYCLONE-LC-UNIV supports those ARM Cortex devices as well as the following NXP device families: Kinetis, LPC, S32, MPC55xx-57xx), MPC5xx/8xx, DSC, S12Z, RS08, S08, HC08, HC(S)12(X), ColdFire, and STMicroelectronics’...

  • Page 12 If power is provided via the Cyclone, the user may need to configure the programming image accordingly. Image creation and configuration is discussed in Section 2.3 - Creating A Stand-Alone Programming Image. For more information on the various power configurations, the user should refer to their Cyclone’s User Manual.

  • Page 13: Creating A Stand-Alone Programming Image

    Creating A Stand-Alone Programming Image A stand-alone programming (SAP) image is the result of pre-processing the programming algorithms, data to be programmed, programming options, and scripted programming commands. These are combined into a single encrypted file. This SAP image can then be loaded onto the Cyclone and used to program, without need for the Cyclone to be connected to a PC.

Run Cyclone Image Creation Utility CreateImage.exe is in the “ImageCreation” folder, in the location where the Cyclone software was installed.

    SAP IMAGE COMPILER (SCRIPTED PROGRAMMING & IMAGE CREATION) PEmicro’s Cyclone SAP Image Compiler, or CSAP, is an essential component in the Stand-Alone Programming (SAP) image creation process. It is designed to work in tandem with the Cyclone Image Creation Utility, by running in the background, but it can also be called directly by the user. The CSAP image compiler typically takes the .CFG file that was generated by the Image Creation Utility and uses it to locate and combine all of the components that will be included in the specific SAP image that is being created.
