    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 either a command line utility, RS232 protocol, UDP protocol, or the Cyclone Automated Control DLL.

  • Page 7: Quick Start Guide For Sap Operation

    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.
  • Page 8 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.
  • Page 9 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 Access Panel can easily be opened to allow the user to connect/disconnect ribbon cables from the headers, or to configure the Cyclone’s Power Jumpers to select one of the available Power Management setups. The location of the Access Panel is shown in Figure 3-1; a layout of the headers and jumpers beneath the Access Panel is shown in Figure 3-4.

  • Page 11: Cyclone System Power

    USB Communications The CYCLONE provides a USB connector for Universal Serial Bus communications between the Cyclone and the host computer. The CYCLONE is a USB 2.0 Full-Speed compliant device. The location of the USB Port is shown in Figure 3-2.

  • Page 12: Power Connectors

    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.

  • Page 13: Power Jumper Settings

    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. The location is indicated as Power Jumpers in Figure 3-4. Please see Section 3.22 - Target Power Management for the correct jumper settings for the Cyclone’s power management options.

    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 3-16 sketches the connection mechanism (looking down into the sockets) for a 14-pin ribbon cable.

  • Page 24: Target Power Management

    PEmicro has designed the CYCLONE 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.
  • Page 25 Figure 4-2: Cyclone Power Schemes & Corresponding Jumper Settings The bottom edge of the CYCLONE 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).

  • Page 26: Cyclone Setup

    Cyclone Setup Below is a tutorial that demonstrates how to set up the CYCLONE 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.
  • Page 27 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.

  • Page 28: Setup Reminders

    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.

  • Page 29: Touchscreen Lcd Menu

    This chapter describes the Cyclone’s touchscreen LCD menu. Figure 5-1 shows an overview of the menu structure. Note: This menu will change as features are added to the CYCLONE, so if your menu does not match what is displayed here, please check PEmicro’s website, www.pemicro.com, for a user manual containing the latest LCD Menu operations information.

The user needs to take into account the power discharge time for the Power Down delay. The reset driver delays, power stabilization time, and the target clock stabilization time should be considered for the Power Up delay.

    Ethernet cable. The straight-through cable, which is the “standard” Ethernet 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.

  • Page 54: Cyclone Ip Setup Via Lcd Menu

    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 PEmicro, is normally used to connect two similar devices such as a PC to a PC, or a Hub to a Hub.
