User Manual For Cyclone LC Programmers 48
6 CREATING AND MANAGING PROGRAMMING IMAGES
The Cyclone Image Creation Utility is used to create programming images which may be loaded
into the Cyclone. The user creates programming images based on data sets to be programmed
and programming instructions which are all self contained. The next step is to download these
programming images to the Cyclone via the GUI, Console, or SDK. Programming can then be
launched either manually via the button, or automatically via the Console.exe or SDK. Learn about
how to download and launch programming images in CHAPTER 8 - CYCLONE PROGRAMMER
AUTOMATED CONTROL (CYCLONE CONTROL SUITE).
Cyclone LC programmers, or Cyclone LC programmers with the ProCryption Security Activation
License, can also use the The Cyclone Image Creation Utility to encrypt programming images,
such that only Cyclones with a specific key can decrypt and program these images. Instructions on
how to encrypt using the Cyclone Image Creation Utility are found in Section 6.1.8.1 - SAP Image
Encryption. A more in-depth description of the encryption process is available in CHAPTER 11 -
SAP IMAGE ENCRYPTION.
Note: If the user wishes to use a programming image created with an earlier generation Cyclone (such
as the Cyclone PRO or MAX, or the Cyclone for ARM devices Rev. A/B) they should first convert
the image using the conversion utility described in CHAPTER 14 - TROUBLESHOOTING.
6.1 Cyclone Image Creation Utility
This section describes in detail how use the Cyclone Image Creation Utility, shown in Figure 6-1,
to configure, create, and save a SAP image that will be used for stand-alone programming with the
Cyclone LC. The Cyclone LC does not require a target to be connected when it is being
configured. However, the Cyclone must be powered on and one of the communications interfaces
must be connected to the Cyclone if an image is to be stored on it.
