2 QUICK START GUIDE FOR SAP OPERATION
Stand-Alone Programming (SAP) is the most common use of the Cyclone Universal and
Cyclone Universal FX. 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 features
specific to your Cyclone, 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.
Once the installation is complete and the PC has been rebooted you may begin to configure the
Cyclone for SAP operation.
Step 2. Hardware Setup
a. Configure the target power management scheme
Power management is configured by setting jumpers that are revealed by opening the
access panel on the Cyclone’s left side. The corresponding settings are conveniently
illustrated on the rear label of Cyclone. No jumpers are installed by default. You may
wish to refer to Section 3.28 - Target Power Management.
b. 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. 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.
Step 3. Create a SAP Image
A SAP image, or Stand-Alone Programming image, is a self-sufficient data object containing the
Cyclone and target hardware setup information, programming algorithm, programming sequence,
and target data. The Cyclone 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 -> PEMicro -> P&E
Cyclone Universal Programmer -> Cyclone Universal Image Creation Utility” and
select this utility. The utility is shown in Figure 2-1. Continue with the steps below to
create an image.

Cyclone Universal & Cyclone Universal FX - User Manual 5

 Figure 2-1: Cyclone Image Creation Utility

b. In the Cyclone Image Creation Utility, select your CPU manufacturer and architecture
from their respective drop-down lists.
c. Click the “Launch Script Wizard” button. Follow the pop-up screens to specify a pro-
gramming algorithm and target object file. The programming algorithm, target object
file, and default programming sequence will then show up in the programming
sequence listbox.
d. Specify the auxiliary setup and hardware setup, such as Communication Mode, Com-
munication 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 to which the image will be
saved, and then click the “Store Image to Cyclone” button. A backend image configu-
ration utility will pop up and store the image information on the Cyclone. Your SAP
image has now been created.
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. Note that the menu option described in Section 4.2.2.3.3 - Set Progress
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 PROG software allows the user to manually walk
through the programming procedure step by step, which may help determine which part of setup or
programming function is causing difficulty.

3.27 Ribbon Cable

The Cyclone Universal and Cyclone Universal FX communicate with the target through ribbon
cables. The ribbon cables for standard debug connectors have 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’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 3-14 sketches the connection mechanism (looking down into the sockets) for a
14-pin ribbon cable. Ribbon cables for other supported architectures use a similar scheme, but
may have more or fewer pins.

3.28 Target Power Management
The Cyclone Universal and Cyclone Universal FX provide four power management schemes,
and they also allow for the target to be powered independently of the Cyclone. When managed by
the Cyclone, the target board may derive power from the use of the Cyclone’s 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 has an associated jumper setting that MUST be set on the
Cyclone.
Note: If these jumpers are not set correctly, the Cyclone will not function as intended.

Open the Cyclone’s lid to access the jumpers. The specific location of the jumpers is indicated by
the label POWER JUMPERS in Figure 3-5.
Please note that the jumpers are labelled descending from 4 to 1, left to right.

4.2.2.1.1 Show Current IP Settings

This menu allows you to view the Cyclone’s IP address, Mask, and Gateway, and MAC address.
You may also tap these entries to edit, as long as the Cyclone is set to Static IP mode.
Dynamic vs. Static
There are two schemes for assigning IP addresses. One is the Static IP addressing mode. This
involves the user manually setting the IP address for every device on the network. In this case, it
falls to the user to ensure the IPs assigned do not conflict and are within the boundaries of the
network. The other is the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This involves setting up a
separate server to manage the IP addresses. The server is given a list of valid IP addresses for the
network. Using a predetermined set of rules, each new device that wishes to connect to the
network is given an IP address by the server. This takes the task of managing the validity and
uniqueness of IP addresses out of the user's hands and relegates it to the server. The Cyclone
Universal and Cyclone Universal FX are capable of using either Static IP addressing or DHCP.

4.2.2.1.2 Edit Static IP Settings

This menu allows you to edit the Cyclone’s IP address, Mask, and Gateway, and view the
Cyclone’s MAC address. If you are unable to edit these values, you may wish to check to be

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 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, 3.0, and 4.0 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 will erase the EEPROM/flash on the target device after
entering the Monitor Mode or BDM mode.
Blank Check Module
If “Blank Check Module” is checked, the Cyclone will check to see if the flash/EEPROM on the
target device is erased.
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.

Cyclone 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.

5.1.5 Communication Mode and Rate Settings

Cyclone Universal and Cyclone Universal FX support 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.

5.1.6 Target Voltage and Power Settings

A user may elect to use Cyclone 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 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 will delay for the specified time after allowing the target out of reset.

5.1.7 Image Description

The Cyclone Image Creation Utility allows the user to summarize the purpose of current
configuration for future reference. The description will be either programmed into the Cyclone or
saved into an encrypted file.
The image description will appear on the touchscreen LCD for image identification.
This field will not affect the Cyclone’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. The
Cyclone will then be ready for operations.

Cyclone Universal & Cyclone Universal FX - User Manual 35

 Figure 5-9: 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’s internal flash (and, if using the Cyclone Universal FX, an
installed SD card) 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 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 5-10, 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 are using the Cyclone Universal FX it will also allow you to store and
manage multiple images on any compatible SDHC cards that are loaded into the SDHC port.

Cyclone Universal & Cyclone Universal FX - User Manual 36

 Figure 5-10: Manage Images Utility

Upon opening a selected Cyclone, the user is provided in the top left panel with a list of the images
currently on the unit’s internal memory. If using the Cyclone Universal FX, a list of images on any
connected SDHC 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 until the “Commit
Changes” button is pressed.
Note: Any images that are already stored on the Cyclone (or SD card, if applicable) can only be removed
by using the corresponding “Remove All Images...” button.

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).
The combination of the Cyclone Universal and Cyclone Universal FX 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.

Cyclone Universal & Cyclone Universal FX - User Manual 41

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 Universal and Cyclone Universal FX, 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

Cyclone Universal & Cyclone Universal FX - User Manual 42

 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, 8, 10. 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.

Cyclone Universal & Cyclone Universal FX - User Manual 43

8 ETHERNET CONFIGURATION
This section describes the mechanism used by the Cyclone 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.

Cyclone Universal & Cyclone Universal FX - User Manual 44

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 acknowledgments 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

Cyclone Universal & Cyclone Universal FX - User Manual 45

 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

When the user is connecting the Cyclone via Ethernet, before the connection is established
between the Cyclone and the network the menu’s Home Screen will display the Cyclone’s IP
address as 0.0.0.0.
Once a connection has been established, the menu’s Home Screen displays the Cyclone’s IP
address and connection setting (Static or Dynamic).
The Ethernet cable can either be attached at the start of Cyclone startup or connected after setup
is complete. The connection with the network will be established when the cable is connected. If
the Ethernet cable is disconnected after setup is complete, the user should be able to simply
reconnect the cable to reestablish networking. However, depending on the setup of the DHCP
server, if the Ethernet cable is left unplugged for a considerable time the IP address may expire
and connection will have to be set up once again. This can be accomplished by restarting the
Cyclone.

8.5.1 Configure Network Settings

To configure network settings for the Cyclone, navigate to the following Menu location:
Main Menu / Configure Cyclone / Configure Network Settings

The following options will be available under Configure Network Settings:

• Show Current IP Settings
• Edit Static IP Settings
• Enable/Disable Dynamic IP
• Edit Cyclone Name

8.5.1.1 Show Current IP Settings

Show Current IP Settings displays the current IP settings, including:
• Current IP Mode
• IP Number
• Mask
• Gateway

Cyclone Universal & Cyclone Universal FX - User Manual 46

 • MAC Address
If you are in Static IP mode, these settings (excluding the MAC address) may be changed by
tapping on them. In this case a tap will take you to the Edit menus. If you are in Dynamic IP mode,
tapping will show a message that the Cyclone settings cannot be changed.
Dynamic vs. Static
There are two schemes for assigning IP addresses. One is the Static IP addressing mode. This
involves the user manually setting the IP address for every device on the network. In this case, it
falls to the user to ensure the IPs assigned do not conflict and are within the boundaries of the
network. The other is the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This involves setting up a
separate server to manage the IP addresses. The server is given a list of valid IP addresses for the
network. Using a predetermined set of rules, each new device that wishes to connect to the
network is given an IP address by the server. This takes the task of managing the validity and
uniqueness of IP addresses out of the user's hands and relegates it to the server. The Cyclone
Universal and Cyclone Universal FX are capable of using either Static IP addressing or DHCP.
Note: The current IP settings may also be viewed/edited by navigating to:

Main Menu / Status / Show Current IP Settings

8.5.1.2 Edit Static IP Settings

This allows editing of IP, Mask, and Gateway in Static IP mode. In the edit dialogs, the user must
enter a valid IP address to continue:
Format
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Where:
0 <= xxx <= 255

8.5.1.3 Enable/Disable Dynamic IP

Opens a dialog to toggle the IP settings between Static and Dynamic. Once an option is selected a
message is displayed indicating that the Cyclone must be reset for this option to take effect. The
reset button on the front side of the Cyclone may be used.

8.6 Cyclone IP Configuration 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 with network parameters.

Cyclone’s home screen. Users may select items from the Available Display Options window and
use the arrow button to add them to the Display Options Selected window. Up to 5 items may be
selected. Press OK to save the selections, or press Clear to clear them. Information corresponding
to the selected items will be displayed on the home screen.

8.7 Using Cyclone IP Configuration Utility To Configure The Cyclone Universal / Cyclone
Universal FX
Before the Cyclone 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 Universal and
Cyclone Universal FX software distribution.
In order to update the network parameters, perform the following steps:
1. Connect a Cyclone 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 Configuration Utility starts
up with the following screen:

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 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.

Cyclone Universal & Cyclone Universal FX - User Manual 54

 Figure 11-1: 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.

Cyclone Universal & Cyclone Universal FX - User Manual 55

 • 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

Cyclone Universal & Cyclone Universal FX - User Manual 56

 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 The Cyclone

The Cyclone Universal and Cyclone Universal FX 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 firmware automatically
increment the serial number and store it in the Cyclone’s 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 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

12 SAP CONVERTER UTILITY
Customers who have used our Cyclone PRO and Cyclone MAX will find that their SAP images for
older generation cyclones will not work on the newer Cyclone Universal and Cyclone Universal
FX. Recreating these images for current generation Cyclones could potentially introduce errors
and lose information about commands, settings, and configurations.
Therefore, we created the “SAP_Convert_Utility.exe” which can be used to convert older
generation SAP images into current generation SAP images. Once converted, an image will work
not only on the Cyclone Universal and Cyclone Universal FX, but it will also be backwards
compatible with the Cyclone PRO and Cyclone MAX.
SAP_Convert_Utility is a Windows command line utility and the software must be run through the
Windows Command Prompt. The utility can be found in the same folder as the Cyclone’s software
install path.
The command line parameter syntax:

>SAP_Convert_Utility [old_SAP_path] [new_SAP_path]

Where:

[old_SAP_path] The relative or full path to the SAP file. Usually has the .SAP file
extension.
[new_SAP_path] Optional parameter where the user can specify a relative or full path to
dump the output of the conversion. If path and file name matches the
input, then the output file will replace the input file. If this parameter is not
specified, the output will be dumped in the same path as the input file
renamed with postfix “_2”. For example if the input is myfile.SAP, then the
output will be myfile_2.SAP and will not replace the original input file.
