User Manual For CYCLONE FX Programmers 1
1 INTRODUCTION
PEmicro's CYCLONE FX 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.
The CYCLONE_ACP_FX supports a wide variety of ARM Cortex devices.
The CYCLONE_UNIVERSAL_FX supports those ARM Cortex devices as well as the following
NXP device families: Kinetis, LPC, S32, Qorivva (MPC5xxx), MPC5xx/8xx, DSC, S12Z, RS08,
S08, HC08, HC(S)12(X), ColdFire, and STMicroelectronics’ SPC5 & STM8.
Figure 1-1: CYCLONE FX Supported Architectures
CYCLONE FX programmers are designed to withstand the demands of a production environment.
They are Stand-Alone Programmers (SAP) that can be operated manually or used to host
automated programming. 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 the Cyclone Control Suite. See CHAPTER 8 - CYCLONE PROGRAMMER
AUTOMATED CONTROL (CYCLONE CONTROL SUITE)..
