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.
P&E engineer Edison Tam demonstrates how to program
Freescale's QE128 with P&E's Cyclone PRO stand-alone automated
programmer, and gives an overview of the development and production
capabilities of the Cyclone PRO. To learn more, please visit the Cyclone PRO product page:
Watertown, MA - P&E Microcomputer Systems has expanded its line of UNIT Library Interface Routines by adding a new version that supports Freescale's RS08 microcontroller family. P&E's UNIT Libraries allow the user to create custom Windows applications that can fully control an RS08 processor using either P&E's Cyclone PRO (Rev. C) or USB-ML-12 (Rev. C) interfaces. It also supports P&E's DEMO9RS08LA8, DEMO9RS08LE4, and DEMO9RS08KB12 development boards, available through Freescale.
The UNIT libraries are frequently used to build custom production line testers. The libraries allow applications to peek and poke memory, peripherals, and other resources of the processor by using P&E interfaces to access the debug port. With these abilities, the application can perform tests of the target hardware, calculate target calibration data, or simply control the target using debug mode.
More information about P&E's UNIT Interface Library Routines for the RS08 can be found at P&E's website.
P&E has updated its Cyclone PRO Image Creation Utility to provide a
way for users to set a custom trim frequency for HCS08, RS08, and CFV1
devices that have an internal reference clock. To use this feature, the
user must first select a programming algorithm, because not all devices
have the same maximum and minimum internal reference clock
frequencies. Click through for more information about setting a custom trim frequency...
