Overview

Cyclone Production Programmer Overview

Cyclone flash programmers are powerful tools for in-circuit programming, debugging, and testing of MCU devices. They can function in stand-alone mode or be controlled from a PC. Programming may be launched by a single button press without a PC, or automatically from a PC via the automated control SDK.

Cyclone users choose to create either stand-alone programming Images or cloud-connected Jobs. Both are self-contained programming objects that can be delivered locally directly to the Cyclone, but a cloud-connected Job adds the option of delivering the Job securely and remotely via the PEcloud platform. Cloud-connected Jobs can also be stopped and started remotely and their results logged.

Cyclone programmers support thousands of devices and offer security and encryption features to help users protect valuable IP. They are versatile tools that offer on-board storage of programming Images/Jobs, provide power to the target, support manual or automated programming, and have an easy-to-use touchscreen interface. Cyclone programmers can additionally be used as debug probes during development and are supported by many IDEs.

Standard Features - included with all Cyclones

• Stand Alone Programming Images (SAP) Support
  SAP Images are single file archives which contain all information, data, and algorithms necessary to program target devices with or without a PC. 
• Cloud-Connected Programming Jobs (JOB) Support
  Jobs are similar to images but use a connection to the Cloud to provide additional visibility, control, & logging via the free PEcloud service. 
• Powerful Automation Control
  PC based SDK, Console, and GUI Control, Gang Programming, Dynamic Data Programming
• Multiple Communications Interfaces
  USB 2.0, Ethernet, and Serial interfaces
