2 QUICK START GUIDE FOR SAP OPERATION

Stand-Alone Programming (SAP) is the most common use of the Cyclone for
ARM devices. This quick start guide illustrates how easy it is to begin using
the Cyclone for stand-alone programming.
You are encouraged to read this manual in its entirety for a complete
description of all Cyclone for ARM devices features, many of which are
beyond the scope of this quick-start guide.
Step 1. Install Software
The first step is to install the accompanying software. This will install all of the
applications and drivers that can be used to configure/control the Cyclone for
ARM devices.
Once the installation is complete and the PC has been rebooted you may
begin to configure the Cyclone for ARM devices for SAP operation.
Step 2. Hardware Setup
a. Configure the target power management scheme
Power management is configured by setting jumpers on the side
of the Cyclone unit. The corresponding settings are conveniently
illustrated on the rear label of Cyclone for ARM devices. By
default, the jumpers are set to switch power from the Power IN
Jack to Power OUT Jack. You may wish to refer to Section 3.14 -
Target Power Management.
b. Connect the Cyclone for ARM devices to your PC
Select the appropriate communications interface (Serial, USB or
Ethernet) and connect the Cyclone for ARM devices 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
LCD menu or via the software utility ConfigureIP. The Ethernet
port will not function properly until this configuration is complete.
You may wish to refer to CHAPTER 8 - ETHERNET
CONFIGURATION.
c. Power up the Cyclone for ARM devices
Step 3. Create a SAP Image
A SAP image, or Stand-Alone Programming image, is a self-sufficient data
object containing the Cyclone for ARM devices and target hardware setup

information, programming algorithm, programming sequence, and target data.

The Cyclone for ARM devices uses these images to perform SAP operations
on target devices. Follow these steps to create a SAP image:
a. Run the Cyclone Image Creation Utility
This utility is a GUI designed to help users create architecture/
manufacturer-specific SAP images. To run this utility:
From the “Start” menu of your PC, navigate to “All Programs” ->
“P&E Cyclone for ARM devices Programmer” -> “Cyclone for
ARM devices Image Creation Utility” and select this utility. The
utility is shown in Figure 2-1. Continue with the steps below to
create an image.

gramming sequence will then show up in the programming
sequence listbox.
d. Specify the auxiliary setup and hardware setup, such as Commu-
nication Mode, Communication Rate, Target Power, and Voltage
Settings.

e. Type an Image Description for your SAP image. The default

description is a time stamp.
f. Click the “Store Image to Cyclone” button.
g. Choose the communication interface, select the Cyclone for ARM
devices to which the image will be saved, and then click the
“Store Image to Cyclone” button. A backend image configuration
utility will pop up and store the image information on the Cyclone
for ARM devices. Your SAP image has now been created.
Step 4. Execute SAP Image
The SAP image stored on your Cyclone for ARM devices can now be
executed with one button press. Once your target is connected to the Cyclone
for ARM devices, press the “START” button of the Cyclone for ARM devices
unit and wait for programming operations to finish. During this process, the
LCD screen and LEDs will show the status of operations. Eventually the
“Success” or “Error” LED will illuminate, and the LCD will display the results.

3.12 JTAG Daisy Chain

The Cyclone for ARM devices supports processors in a JTAG daisy chain
configuration. This type of configuration is desirable if the user wants to share
a single debug connector across multiple JTAG devices.
To start, it is required that the user selects the JTAG communications mode in
the Cyclone Image Creation Utility (see Section 5.1 - Create A Stand-Alone
Programming (SAP) Image). Afterwards, the daisy chain settings are
configured by clicking on the "Advanced" button in the Cyclone Image
Creation Utility. A new dialog will appear, allowing the user to specify their
exact daisy chain setup.
Figure 3-16: Daisy Chain Setup Dialog
As an example, consider a daisy chain containing two devices (TAP #0 and

TAP #1) and both devices have a 4-bit JTAG IR. The following settings would
access the first device in the chain (TAP #0):

JTAG Tap Number 0

JTAG Pre IR Bits 4
To access the second, and last device in the chain (TAP #1), use the following
settings:
JTAG Tap Number 1

JTAG Pre IR Bits 0
3.13 Ribbon Cable

The Cyclone for ARM devices communicates with the target through ribbon
cables. The ribbon cable for standard 20-pin debug connectors has a 0.100-
inch centerline dual row socket IDC assembly (not keyed). The ribbon cables
for 10- and 20-pin mini debug connectors have a 0.050-inch centerline dual
row socket IDC assembly (keyed). The ribbon cables are designed such that
the Cyclone for ARM devices Debug Connector has the same pinout as the
Target Header, i.e., Pin 1 of the Cyclone for ARM devices Debug Connector is
connected to Pin 1 of the Target Header. Figure 3-17 sketches the connection
mechanism (looking down into the sockets) for a 14-pin ribbon cable. The 20-
and 10-pin ribbon cables use a similar scheme with more or fewer pins,
repsectively.

Figure 3-17: Ribbon Cable Diagram When Looking Into IDC Socket
3.14 Target Power Management

The Cyclone for ARM devices provides four power management schemes.
The target board may derive power by the use of the power jacks, by the use
of the debug connector TVCC pin, or a combination of both. The options are
explained in detail below. Each configuration will have an associated jumper
setting that MUST be set on the Cyclone for ARM devices. The jumper header
is found on the long front side of the unit, directly to the left of the Target
Power In and Out jacks.

Figure 3-18: Jumper Settings, Viewed From Underside Of Cyclone
3.14.1 Using Power In Jack and Power Out Jack

The target power supply is connected to the Power In Jack of the Cyclone for

Jumpers 1, 3, and 5 are enabled. Jumpers 2 and 4 are left open.
3.14.5 Target Powered Independently Of Cyclone for ARM devices

A target may be powered independently of the Cyclone for ARM devices. The
user should remove all jumpers on the Cyclone for ARM devices except
jumper 5 if they elect to provide a separate power source for the target.
3.15 CompactFlash Port

The CompactFlash port can be activated by purchasing a CompactFlash
Activation License from P&E. The CompactFlash port accepts Type I
CompactFlash cards. This allows the user to store programming images that
are, individually or collectively, larger than the Cyclone for ARM devices’
internal memory (7MB). It also makes swapping programming images quicker
and more convenient. A 2GB CompactFlash card is available separately or as
part of a CompactFlash activation package.
Purchase of the CompactFlash activation license unlocks the CompactFlash
panels in the included Manage Images utility. Programming images may then
be managed on the CompactFlash in exactly the same way as they are in the
Cyclone’s internal memory. Please see Section 5.2 - Manage Multiple SAP
Images for more information about using the Manage Images utility.

5 STAND-ALONE PROGRAMMER CONFIGURATION

The Cyclone for ARM devices may act as a Stand-Alone In-Circuit
Programmer for ARM Cortex devices by Freescale, STMicroelectronics,
Texas Instruments (TI), NXP, Atmel, Infineon, and Silicon Labs. A simple user
interface, CREATEIMAGE.EXE, is provided for configuring the Cyclone.
5.1 Create A Stand-Alone Programming (SAP) Image

This chapter describes in detail how to configure the Cyclone for ARM
devices for stand-alone programming using the Cyclone Image Creation
Utility, shown in Figure 5-1. The Cyclone for ARM devices does not require a
target to be connected when it is being configured. However, the power of the
Cyclone for ARM devices must be turned on (indicated by the “Idle” LED), and
one of the communications interfaces must be connected to the Cyclone for
ARM devices if an image is to be stored on it.

module, followed by an S-Record, and creates a default programming script.
The user can then modify the programming sequence as needed.
The Clear Script button will remove all programming commands from the right
panel.
The Move Up and Move Down buttons allow the user to manually re-
sequence the order of the programming commands.
The Remove From List button can be used to remove a selected command
from the right panel.
At this point the image can be saved to a disk or to the Cyclone for ARM

devices device. For more information, please see Section 5.1.8 - Store
Image To Cyclone.
5.1.3 Programming Operations
Figure 5-7: Programming Operations Dialog Section
In the Programming Sequence field, the user may specify the algorithm, S-
Record, and operations to be carried out.
Choose Module
Presents a list of available programming files. Each programming file contains
information on how to program a particular module. Usually, the name of the
file indicates what kind of module it relates to.
Specify S-Record
Asks for the name (and/or path) to a file of ARM S-records to be used in
programming or verifying a module. If the file is not found, an error message
is given. The currently-selected file is shown in the S19 file selected window.
The programmer accepts S1, S2, and S3 records. All other file records are
treated as comments. If you do not specify a file-name extension, a default of
.S19 is used. The programmer also supports ELF/Dwarf 2.0 object files.
Your S19 file may contain data for both EEPROM and flash. If you know that
your S19 file contains the correct data, “Ignore S19 Range” may be checked.
This will cause any out of range errors to be ignored.
Erase If Not Blank
This command performs a blank check of the module and erases it if it is not
blank.
Erase Module

If “Erase Module” is specified, the Cyclone for ARM devices will perform an
“Erase Module” on the target device after entering the Monitor Mode or BDM
mode.
Blank Check Module
If “Blank Check Module” is checked, the Cyclone for ARM devices will perform
a “Blank Check Module” on the target device.
Program Bytes
Prompts for a starting address, which must be in the module. You are then
asked to enter in hexadecimal a byte to be programmed into the current
location. Clicking the OK button will automatically advance to the next data
byte location.
Program Words
Prompts for a starting address, which must be in the module. You are then
asked to enter in hexadecimal a word to be programmed into the current
location. Clicking the OK button will automatically advance to the next data
word location.
Program Module
For this command to work, you must have previously selected an S-record
file.
Verify Module
For this command to work, you must have previously selected an S-record
file.
Verify Checksum
This command verifies the module content via a CRC calculation.
Choose Serial File
This command becomes available once a programming algorithm is selected.
It specifies the serial file that holds the serial numbers to be programmed to
the target. Please reference CHAPTER 11 - AUTOMATIC SERIAL NUMBER
MECHANISM for more information about programming serial numbers.
Program Serial Number
This command becomes available once a programming algorithm is selected.
It will instruct the Cyclone for ARM devices to program the serial number to
the target once executed. As with other commands, the serial number will not
be programmed until the SAP operations are carried out. Please reference

CHAPTER 11 - AUTOMATIC SERIAL NUMBER MECHANISM for more

information about programming serial numbers.
5.1.4 Commincation Mode and Rate Settings

Cyclone for ARM devices supports multiple communication modes and
communication rates. A user needs to select proper communication mode
and rate from the drop down list after programming operations are specified.
The debug connector pin definitions are listed for reference.
5.1.5 Target Voltage and Power Settings

A user may elect to use Cyclone for ARM devices to supply power to the
target. In this case, the Target Voltage specifies the target MCU I/O voltage
level.
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.
A checkbox is available for a user to instruct the Cyclone for ARM devices to
turn off target power after SAP operations. If unchecked, the target power will
remain on.
The user has the option to provide Reset Delay if certain reset monitoring
devices are used. The Cyclone for ARM devices will delay for the specified
time after allowing the target out of reset.
5.1.6 JTAG Daisy Chain

The Cyclone for ARM devices supports processors in a JTAG daisy chain
configuration. This type of configuration is desirable if the user wants to share
a single debug connector across multiple JTAG devices. To use this mode
certain settings must be made in the Cyclone Image Creation Utility. These
are documented in Section 3.12 - JTAG Daisy Chain.
5.1.7 Image Description

The Cyclone for ARM devices Configuration Utility allows the user to
summarize the purpose of current configuration for future reference. The
description will be either programmed into the Cyclone for ARM devices or
saved into an encrypted file.
The image description will appear on the LCD screen for image identification.

Since the LCD can display up to 16 characters, it is recommended to keep the

description concise.
This field will not affect the Cyclone for ARM devices’s operations with the
target.
5.1.8 Store Image To Cyclone

“Store Image to Cyclone” allows the current configuration to be programmed
into the Cyclone for ARM devices. The Cyclone for ARM devices will then be
ready for operations.
Figure 5-8: Image Management And Transfer Dialog
The Interface drop-down list allows the user to select one of three Serial,
USB, or Ethernet interfaces. The Port drop-down list allows the user to select
from one of the Cyclones available on that interface. In the case of a Cyclone
present on a different network (i.e., not displayed automatically in the Port
drop-down list), the user may specify its IP address by using the Specify IP
button.
“Store Image to Cyclone” will then store the image on the selected Cyclone.
5.1.9 Store Image To Disk

“Store Image To Disk” allows the current configuration to be saved onto the
hard drive. The image can then be transferred to the Cyclone for ARM
devices internal flash or external CompactFlash (with activation) via the
Manage Images Utility.
5.1.10 Save Cyclone Configuration

“Save Cyclone Configuration,” in the file menu, allows the user to save the

configuration into a file, which may be used for future reference, e.g.,
comparing the Cyclone for ARM devices contents with the file to see if they
are the same.
5.1.11 Load Cyclone Configuration

“Load Cyclone Configuration” in the file menu allows the user to load a
configuration that has previously been saved in order to create a new image.
5.2 Manage Multiple SAP Images

The Manage Images utility, shown in Figure 5-9, allows the Cyclone to store
and manage multiple images in the Cyclone’s internal memory. Once the
programming images have been created and saved to the disk using the
Create Image utility, they may then be loaded collectively onto the Cyclone. If
you have purchased a CompactFlash activation license it will also allow you
to store and manage multiple images on any compatible CompactFlash cards
that are loaded into the Cyclone’s CompactFlash port.

Figure 5-9: Manage Images Utility
Upon opening a selected Cyclone for ARM devices, the user is provided in the
top left panel with a list of the images currently on the unit’s internal memory. If
the CompactFlash license has been activated, a list of images on any
connected CompactFlash card will also be displayed in the bottom left panel.
The panels to the right can be used to add or delete additional images by
using the Add and Remove buttons beneath each panel.
Once the images that you wish to load appear in the panels to the right, you
must press “Commit Changes” to load the Cyclone accordingly. No changes

are made to the Cyclone for ARM devices until the “Commit Changes” button
is pressed.
Note: Any images that are already stored on the Cyclone for ARM devices or
CompactFlash can only be removed by using the corresponding “Remove All
Images...” button.
5.2.1 Optional CompactFlash Activation License

The CompactFlash Activation License is a license key, available for purchase
separately, which activates the Manage Images Utility and enables it to be
used with the Cyclone’s CompactFlash card interface. Activation of the
CompactFlash interface allows for programming of larger datasets and for the
storage of multiple programming images on a CompactFlash card.
For more details, please refer to Section 3.15 - CompactFlash Port.

6 STAND-ALONE PROGRAMMER MANUAL CONTROL

The Cyclone for ARM devices must be configured before it may serve as a
Stand-Alone Programmer for ARM targets. The user may manually control the
Cyclone for ARM devices: via the buttons/LEDs, LCD menu, or via PC
software. The target power management schemes remain the same for each
control method.
6.1 Operation Via Cyclone for ARM devices Buttons

6.1.3 Example
When the Cyclone for ARM devices is powered up, the Idle LED is turned on.
After the user programs the contents and procedures into the Cyclone for
ARM devices on-board flash, the Cyclone for ARM devices may be used as a
Stand-Alone Programmer. Suppose the user wants to perform the following
instructions for a target device:
1) Erase Module
2) Program Module
3) Verify Module.
When the Start Button is pressed, the “Power” LED will turn on, indicating that
the Cyclone for ARM devices is powering up the target board.
Then the “Idle” LED will turn off.
Finally, if these operations have been performed successfully, the “Success”
LED and the “Idle” LED will be illuminated. One stand-alone programming
cycle will have just been completed.

6.2 Operation Via LCD Menu

The Cyclone for ARM devices may be operated by making selections from the
LCD menu. This section describes the layout of the menus and the functions
that each may be used to perform.

the Cyclone for ARM devices. The other categories listed are for future
use and are not currently implemented.
Figure 6-6: Show Statistics
6.3 Cyclone Battery Pack

Manual control of stand-alone mode is also useful for performing field
updates. In this situation, there is often no access to a PC or power outlet.
However, the Cyclone may be powered by using a Cyclone PowerPack,
which is a lightweight and compact lithium ion battery (available separately).

Figure 6-7: Cyclone with Cyclone PowerPack
The combination of the Cyclone for ARM devices programmer and the battery
pack creates a fully operational field programming setup that is lightweight,
compact, and extremely portable. All that is required for a field update is to
connect the battery-powered, pre-programmed Cyclone to the target and
initiate programming.

7 STAND-ALONE PROGRAMMER AUTOMATED CONTROL

Users who wish to automate control of one or more Cyclone units have
several options available. This chapter presents a brief overview of those
options along with some additional information about each.
7.1 Cyclone Automated Control Package - Overview

Every Cyclone includes the Basic Edition of P&E’s Cyclone Automated
Control Package. P&E also offers advanced versions of the control package
which may be purchased separately.
7.1.1 Basic Edition

The Basic Edition, included with the Cyclone for ARM devices, gives users
two options for automating control of the Cyclone.
1. Cyclone Launch Application
The Cyclone Launch application allows control of one or more P&E
Cyclone units through the usage of simple batch and script files.
2. Dynamic Link Library (.DLL)
The .DLL in the Basic Edition allows custom software applications
to control one Cyclone unit.
Users wishing to use a .DLL to control more than one Cyclone or who would
prefer to use RS232/Ethernet protocols (e.g., in a non-Windows environment)
may purchase the appropriate advanced version of the Cyclone Automated
Control Package.
7.1.2 Professional Edition

The Professional Edition is available separately. It contains a dynamic link
library (DLL) which allows custom software applications to control up to three
Cyclone units.
7.1.3 Enterprise Edition

The Enterprise Edition is available separately. It contains a dynamic link
library (DLL) and the ability to use custom software, RS232 and Ethernet
communication protocols to control an unlimited number of Cyclones.
More details about what is included with each edition of the Cyclone
Automated Control Package may be found at www.pemicro.com.

7.2 Cyclone Automated Control Package - Details

This section presents brief descriptions of the Cyclone Launch Application,
.DLL and RS232/Ethernet options that are offered by P&E’s various Cyclone
Automated Control Packages. Detailed operational instructions for these tools
are beyond the scope of this manual. For operational instructions, please
consult P&E’s Cyclone Automated Control Package - Developer’s Manual,
which accompanies the Basic Edition of the Cyclone Automated Control
Package. This manual may also be downloaded from www.pemicro.com.
7.2.1 Cyclone Launch Application

The Cyclone Launch application is included with every edition of the Cyclone
Automated Control Package. It allows a developer to use simple ASCII script
files to control Cyclone operations from the PC. Once the script files are
configured, a simple batch file can be created to initiate programming
operations on one or more Cyclone units. Cyclone Launch also supports
features such as stand-alone image maintenance and dynamic data
programming, which provides a powerful but easy-to-use interface. The
Cyclone Launch application is ideal for getting your automated production
environment up and running in a very short amount of time.
7.2.2 .DLL Control

The dynamic link library (DLL) that is included in all editions of the Cyclone
Automated Control Package allows you to create an application on the PC
that can directly control one (Basic Edition) or more P&E Cyclone units.
Please see Section 7.1 - Cyclone Automated Control Package - Overview
for the number of Cyclones that may be controlled by each version of the
package.
These interface routines are designed to be compiled into visual and non
visual applications running on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, Vista, 7.
The actual interface routines are located in the “CYCLONE_CONTROL.DLL”
32 bit DLL file. The DLL is callable from almost any 32-bit Windows
development environment. Since the way the DLL is called varies depending
on the compiler used, you are provided with the DLL interface code and
sample applications for each of the following compilers:
Borland Delphi 2.0+ (Pascal) - Visual Application
Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0+ - Visual MFC Application
Microsoft Visual C# 2005+ - Visual Application

These sample applications come with project and workspaces defined for
ease of use. Simply open the project/workspace in your compiler and you
should be able to build the sample application without any modifications. The
sample applications come pre-compiled with ICONS, so you can run them
before jumping into the code.
7.2.3 RS232 / Ethernet Communication Protocols

The RS232 and Ethernet Communication protocols included with the
Enterprise Edition of the Cyclone Automated Control Package allow a
developer to manually send individual command packets to control each
Cyclone unit. This is ideal for setups that do not have access to a PC or
production environments that do not run Windows-based computers.

8 ETHERNET CONFIGURATION
This section describes the mechanism used by the Cyclone for ARM devices
device to transact data over an Ethernet network. It primarily focuses on the
User Datagram Protocol (UDP), which is a popular method for sending data
over a network when the speed of a data transaction is of more concern than
the guarantee of its delivery. The Cyclone takes advantage of the UDP
protocol’s penchant for speed, and adds an extra layer of logic to guarantee
the delivery of UDP packets in order to offer a best-of-both-worlds solution.
8.1 Network Architectures

Before delving into the innards of Ethernet message passing, it is prudent to
briefly describe the different network architectures in use today, and how they
pertain to the operation of the Cyclone. Computers are, of course, connected
to one another through intermediary devices in order to form networks. There
are several classes of these intermediary devices, but they generally fall into
one of the following three groups:
Hubs
At the most basic level, computers are connected to one another
through a Hub. A Hub is a device with several ports that are used to
connect multiple computers together. It is a repeater device – a Hub
simply copies the data incoming on one port as data outgoing on the
other ports. In this manner, if there are four computers connected
through a Hub, and if the first computer is sending data to the second
computer, then the third and the fourth computers will also receive an
identical copy of that data. Hubs are usually used to set up a small
Local Area Network (LAN), which may have on the order of 10 to 20
computers.

Switches
The aforementioned type of process, where the data is simply
replicated onto every available port, quickly becomes inefficient for
larger sized networks. For this reason, a larger sized LAN employs
the usage of Switches instead of Hubs. A Switch is essentially a smart
Hub, in that it limits the input and output of data to the two transacting
computers.
Routers
Larger networks, such as Wide Area Networks (WANs), or the
Internet for that matter, use progressively more sophisticated devices
to transact data. At the core of these devices is the Router, which
functions as a switch between networks.
The Cyclone performs irrespective of the connection mechanism, with one
very important caveat: it needs to be set up with the appropriate network
parameters for the underlying network architecture.
8.2 Network Parameters

A typical network becomes operational not after the physical connections
have been established, but after network parameters in the form of IP
(Internet Protocol) numbers have been assigned to the individual computers.
An IP number is a unique string that consists of four numbers ranging
between 0 and 255, separated by dots, e.g., 192.168.1.2. Every computer
that is on a network needs to have a unique IP number. The computer uses
this IP number to identify itself on the network, and also to address the
recipient of its data.
Assignation of this IP number is sufficient information to transact data on a
simple network connected by a hub. On a more complex network, however,
routing information becomes important. The routing information consists of
two more IP numbers. The first of these is called the Subnet Mask, and is
used to determine whether or not the destination address resides on the
same subnet (i.e., doesn’t need to be forwarded to another network). The
other IP number is the Gateway Address, which is the address of the
computer that handles forwarding and receiving of packets to and from other
networks.
Before first use, the Cyclone needs to be programmed with a unique IP
number, the Subnet Mask IP number, and also the default Gateway’s IP
number. This can be done via the USB or the Serial port, and is described in

greater detail in the “Configuring the Cyclone” section of this manual.
8.3 Internet Protocol

Once the network has been established, and the IP numbers have been
assigned, data can be transacted over a network with one of several
protocols. By far the most prevalent protocol is the Transmission Control
Protocol (TCP), which runs on top of the Internet Protocol in what is
collectively known as the TCP/IP protocol. The TCP/IP protocol was
developed by the Department of Defense to connect different computers from
different vendors by a “network of networks,” which has become what is
known as the Internet today.
The primary purpose of the TCP/IP protocol was to prevent a complete
network outage in the case of a nuclear attack, by automatically rerouting data
traffic through the functioning part of the network. As such, the TCP/IP
mechanism guaranteed delivery of data packets by introducing a system of
acknowledgements and sequence numbers for the data packets. This
mechanism, while good for transacting large amounts of data (such as email
or file transfers), is unsuitable in the real-time type environment in which the
Cyclone operates. Because the Cyclone needs to transact data as quickly as
possible to the target, it takes advantage of TCP/IP’s alternative, the UDP/IP
protocol.
Unlike TCP/IP, the UDP/IP protocol is a connectionless, single-packet
protocol that sends short data packets at the expense of not guaranteeing
their delivery. This makes the UDP/IP protocol efficient in real-time
applications such as broadcasting video over the Internet, where the
occasional loss of a frame of data is not going to hamper the overall viewing
experience. Left unmodified, the UDP/IP, with its lack of guarantees for packet
delivery, would be unusable in an environment where the delivery of a single
byte of data needs to be guaranteed. The Cyclone firmware adds
mechanisms to the UDP/IP protocol, without affecting its underlying efficiency,
to guarantee delivery of data packets.
8.4 Connecting The Cyclone Device

There are two methods for establishing a connection between a Cyclone and
a PC with an Ethernet cable. The most basic method is to connect the
Cyclone directly to a PC, via a cross-over Ethernet cable. However, the more
common method is to place the Cyclone and the PC on the same network

through a Hub.
8.4.1 Connecting the Cyclone to the PC over a network:

The Cyclone was intended for use on a network of multiple computers (and
other Cyclones). There are many possible network configurations, and to
describe them all is beyond the scope of this document. However, most
configurations are a modification of a basic theme, which is that of connecting
one or more PCs through a Hub to one or more Cyclones.
In order to connect these devices to the Hub, you will need to use the
provided straight-through 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. However, it is important for the Cyclone and the PCs to
have matching Subnet and Gateway IP numbers, and for each to have a
unique IP number on the network. An example of a setting for above is as
follows:
IP Number Gateway IP Subnet Mask
PC1 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.3 255.255.255.0
PC2 192.168.100.2 192.168.100.3 255.255.255.0
CYCLONE 192.168.100.4 192.168.100.3 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.100.3 192.168.100.3 255.255.255.0
It is important to briefly touch upon the underlying network architecture, which
can be a 10Mb (Megabit), 100Mb, 10/100Mb, half-duplex, or a full-duplex
connection. The details of the underlying network architecture are beyond the
scope of this document, but it is sufficient to note that most modern network
cards, as well as the Cyclone device, have the capability to configure
themselves for the underlying network through the Auto-negotiation
mechanism. Auto-negotiation is performed as soon as a network cable is
connected to the device, and it sets the operating parameters of the device to
match those of the network.
8.4.2 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 P&E, is normally used to connect two similar devices such as
a PC to a PC, or a Hub to a Hub. It is a cable that has its receive and transmit
wires crossed over so that the similar devices can effectively communicate
with one another.
With this configuration, it is still important to assign IP numbers to both the PC
and the Cyclone device. Although at first glance it may not seem necessary to
assign a Gateway address in this configuration, the Cyclone was designed to
operate on a network of more than two computers, and therefore it needs to
be programmed with a Gateway address.
Assuming the desktop’s IP number to be 192.168.100.1, this is an example of
the three IP numbers that would need to be programmed into the Cyclone:
IP Number Gateway IP Subnet Mask
PC 192.168.100.1 none 255.255.255.0
CYCLONE 192.168.100.2 192.168.100.1 255.255.255.0
For more information on programming these IP numbers into the Cyclone
device, please see the following section.
8.5 Cyclone IP Setup Via LCD Menu

For instructions on how to configure the Cyclone for ARM devices using the
LCD Menu, please see Section 6.2 - Operation Via LCD Menu.
8.6 Cyclone IP Setup Utility User Interface (ConfigureIP)

Before the Cyclone device transacts data on an Ethernet network, it will need
to be configured with the relevant network parameters. The application that
provides this capability is the Cyclone IP Setup Utility (ConfigureIP), which
can be found as part of the distribution software.
This utility is used to configure the Cyclone for ARM devices with network
parameters, and also to update the firmware of the Cyclone for ARM devices.

Figure 8-1: IPSetup.exe Default Screen
(1) Drop-down Box 1

There are three options available in this drop-down box, of which
“Ethernet Port” is displayed. The other options are “Serial Port” and “USB
Port”. Changing to any one of the three Ports will list the devices which are
found over that specific Port.
(2) Drop-down Box 2
Once one of the three (Serial, USB, or Ethernet) communication
interfaces has been selected in the first drop-down box, a list of all
available Cyclone devices over that interface will be displayed for
selection.
(3) Close Button
The “Close” button is active only when a device has been opened for
access. Once a device has been opened for access, it needs to be closed
before another device can be opened for access.
(4) Open Button
The “Open” button opens a device for access. This is a required step
before changing the parameters on the selected device. Once a device

has been selected through the second drop-down box and is opened for
access, its information will be displayed at the bottom of the dialog box.
(5) Refresh List
Will refresh the dialog boxes by searching for devices which are currently
connected via the Serial or USB interfaces, or are found on the network.

8.7 Using ConfigureIP.exe To Configure The Cyclone for ARM devices

Before the Cyclone for ARM devices is ready to communicate over an
Ethernet network, it will need to be configured with the relevant network
parameters. The application that provides this capability is the Cyclone
Configuration Utility (IPSetup.exe), and is provided as part of the standard
Cyclone for ARM devices software distribution.
In order to update the network parameters, perform the following steps:
1. Connect a Cyclone for ARM devices to the PC via a serial or a USB
cable, and make sure that it is powered before launching the Cyclone
Configuration Utility. The Cyclone for ARM devices Configuration Util-
ity starts up with the following screen:
Figure 8-2: Cyclone IP Setup Utility - Initial Screen
2. Assuming that the Cyclone for ARM devices is connected to the

COM1 serial port of the PC, switch from “Ethernet Port” to “Serial
Port”, at which point the second drop-down box will display COM1.
Click “Open” to get a dialog box similar to the following:

Figure 8-3: Cyclone IP Setup Utility - Continue Setup
3. The Cyclone for ARM devices now needs to be programmed with IP

numbers for the network on which it will operate. The Cyclone IP
Number field must contain a unique IP number.

9 SERIAL PORT CONFIGURATION

Standard serial cables may be used for serial port Cyclone for ARM devices
configuration.

10 USB PORT CONFIGURATION

Standard USB cables may be used for USB port Cyclone for ARM devices
configuration.The user may use network hubs as necessary.

11 AUTOMATIC SERIAL NUMBER MECHANISM

When producing a microcontroller- or microprocessor-based product, it is
often useful to program a unique serial number into the permanent memory
(FLASH) of the product.
P&E has developed a serial number mechanism to automate this process.
Each time you issue a serialization command in the programming software,
the current serial number is programmed at a specified address. In addition,
the serial number is incremented to the next available serial number and
saved for future serialized programming operations.
The Cyclone for ARM devices adopts this automatic serial number
mechanism for its stand-alone operations.
11.1 Understanding Serialization

The automatic serial number mechanism supports serial numbers from 1 to
16 bytes in length. Each byte of a serial number ranges between a lower and
an upper bound. This approach allows the individual bytes of the serial
number to have distinct properties. Some of the forms these properties can
take are:
Type Lower Bound (hex) Upper Bound (hex)
Constant Constant Constant
Binary 00 FF
ASCII Printable 20 7E
ASCII Numeric 30 39
ASCII Upper Case Letter 41 5A
ASCII Lower Case Letter 61 7A
Other XX YY
Each serial number and its properties are stored in a separate file. Any file
name can be used for the serial number file, however the extension .ser is
normally appended because it makes it simpler locate the file.
A utility called SERIALIZE has been developed to make it easy to create,
visualize, edit, and maintain these serial number files.

11.2 Serialize Utility

This section is a modified excerpt from P&E’s Serialize Help File and explains
the Serialize utility in detail.
Figure 11-4: Serialize Main Screen
11.2.1 Serial Number File

This edit box shows the currently selected Serial Number File, or else
indicates "None Selected". If you try to select a nonexistent file, the selection
will revert to "None Selected". On startup the edit box, by default, shows the
filename that was in effect the last time the QUIT button was clicked. You can
select a new Serial Number File in the following ways:
• Single Click - Lets you directly edit the filename in the edit box.
Pressing Enter will check for the existence of the file. If not found, the
selected file gets set to "None Selected". If the file exists, the serial
number and its properties are displayed on screen.
• Double Click or …Click - Opens a standard file browser and lets you

choose from existing files by disk, directory, name, and extension.
11.2.2 Number of Bytes in Serial Number

The up and down arrows let you add or delete bytes for the serial number,
max=10 hex (16 base ten), min=1.
• Up Arrow Click - Adds new bytes to the Serial Number. Each byte
added appears as a new column in the serial number representation.
Added bytes are input as Binary Bytes, i.e. the upper bound is FF and
the lower bound is 00.
• Down Arrow Click - Deletes bytes from the right end of the Serial
Number. Any previously entered byte properties are lost.
11.2.3 Count Sequence

This window lets you count up or down through the sequencing of the serial
number. The serial number is allowed to wrap over the top of the highest
serial number or below the lowest serial number. Note that in P&E
programmers, the serial number can only count up and any attempt to
overflow will cause an error.
• Up Arrow Click - Counts the serial number up.
• Down Arrow Click - Counts the serial number down.
11.2.4 Serial Number Bytes as Hex

There is one display column for each byte in the serial number shown as
printable ASCII characters. Non-printable ASCII characters are indicated by
the small solid block graphic.
• Up Arrow Click - Counts the serial number up.
• Down Arrow Click - Counts the serial number down.
11.2.5 Hex Upper Bounds

There is one display column for each upper bound of the byte in the serial
number in hex.
• Up Arrow Click - Increases the upper bound by one with a maximum
of FF Hex.
• Down Arrow Click - Decreases the upper bound by one with a
minimum of the current serial number byte value.

• Double Click on Hex - Selects or deselects the byte column. Selected

shown in yellow. The serial number byte in this column may then be
modified using the buttons at the bottom of the Serialize utility. Please
refer to Section 11.2.11 - BINARY, NUMERIC, CONSTANT, ALPHA
UPPER, ALPHA LOWER, and PRINTABLE.
11.2.6 Hex Lower Bounds

There is one display column for each byte of the lower bound of the serial
number in hex.
• Up Arrow Click - Increases the lower bound by one with a maximum
of the current serial number byte value.
• Down Arrow Click - Decreases the lower bound by one with a
minimum of 00 Hex.
11.2.7 NEW
Instructs the program to start editing a NEW (as yet un-named) serial number
file. It will throw away the information for any serial number currently being
edited unless that information has been saved (Save Button). The new serial
number is initialized with one (1) byte of binary.
11.2.8 SAVE
Instructs the program to save the current serial number being edited into the
file name and path shown in the Serial Number File window. If a file name has
not been provided, i.e. the window shows None Selected, then an error is
displayed in a red window on the screen. If this happens, type in a filename in
the window and click Save again.
11.2.9 HELP
Opens the Serialize help system (serialize.hlp file, i.e. this file) for perusal.
11.2.10 QUIT
Turns off the Serialize Program and saves any setup information in the file
Serialize.ini. This file will initialize the setup information the next time the
program is started. Xing out of the program (top right of screen) does not save
the setup info.
11.2.11 BINARY, NUMERIC, CONSTANT, ALPHA UPPER, ALPHA LOWER, and

PRINTABLE
These buttons are used to set the properties of selected (colored yellow)
bytes of the Serial Number. Individual bytes whose properties you wish to
modify are selected or deselected by double-clicking in the Hex Upper
Bounds box in the column that corresponds with the values for a particular
byte.
11.3 Serialize Utility Example

This example shows:
1. Currently editing file C:\Example.ser
2. Number of bytes in the serial number is 10 Hex (= 16 base ten)
3. Starting address is 0000000 Hex
4. Next Serial number is AAA-P&E-9999 in ASCII
a. First 3 bytes are Upper Case Alphabetic ASCII (AAA)
b. Next 5 bytes are Constants (-P&E-)
c. Last 4 bytes are Numeric ASCII (9999)
5. This provides for a maximum of 6,760,000 (26x26x26x10x10x10x10)
serial numbers from AAA-P&E-0000 to ZZZ-P&E-9999.
6. The last 4 bytes of the serial number are selected (colored yellow) so
that their properties can be changed using the forced selected byte
buttons on the bottom of the screen.
11.4 Using Serial Number File

The command to invoke the serial number file in P&E’s interactive
programming software is “CS Choose Serial File”. The command to actually
program the serial number to target and automatically increment the serial
number afterward is “PS Program Serial Number”.
P&E’s command line software uses the same commands in a command line
fashion to invoke the serial number file, initiate its programming, and
increment:
CS serial_number_file.ser
PS

11.5 Serial Number Handling in Cyclone for ARM devices

The Cyclone for ARM devices’ firmware implements the automatic serial
number mechanism. The same serial number files are used with the Cyclone
Image Creation Utility, and the same commands are used to specify the serial
number file and initiate serial number programming and incrementation. The
serial number data structure is saved in the SAP image. Once a “PS”
command is carried out, a serial number is programmed into the target. Only
after all operations have been completed successfully does the Cyclone for
ARM devices firmware automatically increment the serial number and store it
in the Cyclone for ARM devices’ flash for internal images (or external
CompactFlash for external SAP images).
The CS and PS commands are not present in the Cyclone Image Creation
Utility until a valid programming algorithm is specified.
To complement the Cyclone’s usage in production environments, the Cyclone
for ARM devices supports multiple serial number structures for each
programming algorithm block. Each SAP image may contain multiple
programming algorithms for every memory module it needs to program, and
each programming algorithm block may contain multiple serial number
structures. The SAP image sequence below illustrates this briefly:
CM algorithm_file_1
SS object_code_1
EM
PM
VC
CS serial_file1.ser
PS
CS serial_file2.ser
PS
CS serial_file_3.ser
PS
CM algorithm_file_2
SS object_code_2
EM

PM
VC
CS serial_file4.ser
PS
CS serial_file5.ser
PS
