For users of our Cyclone for Renesas stand-alone programmer, we've made our library of programming algorithms for supported Renesas devices available for download here. As always, if you do not see the algorithm you need for a supported device, you can use this link to request a custom algorithm. The Cyclone for Renesas currently supports the H8, R8C, and M16C families.
This video provides a brief comparison of the features of two popular
P&E hardware interfaces, the USB BDM Multilink and the Cyclone PRO.
This overview is intended to help users determine which interface is
best suited for their project. More information about each interface
can be found on the USB-ML-12 and Cyclone PRO product pages.
We're pleased to announce the release of our latest device drivers.
This update includes support for Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, and
Windows 7 Operating Systems for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures,
as well as some minor bug fixes. Please click through for simple instructions.
This video gives a demonstration of how to load a programming image onto a
CompactFlash card in the expansion port of P&E's Cyclone products.
CompactFlash activation is a powerful feature that lets users expand
the memory and versatility of their Cyclone:
One
of the key features of P&E Cyclone stand-alone programmers is their
ability to store all necessary programming information - binary data,
algorithm information, and programming settings – in the Cyclone’s
internal memory, in a format known as the Stand-Alone Programming (SAP)
Image. This allows programming operations to be initiated by pushing a
single button.
Now this memory space can be expanded via optional software which
enables the Cyclones’ CompactFlash interface. The expanded storage
feature simplifies management of Stand-Alone Programming images. This
Expert’s Corner explains how to take advantage of the CompactFlash card
feature to facilitate the Stand-Alone Programming process.
