Support for PEmicro's Multilink debug probes and Cyclone production programmers is included in many 3rd party software development IDEs, including tools from NXP, STMicroelectronics, Keil, IAR, Infineon, Silicon Labs, and COSMIC.

This page also hosts patches and installation instructions required to update PEmicro support in the latest Keil software development IDE. Most 3rd party IDEs will come with pre-integrated PEmicro run control and FLASH programming support.

NXP produces several tools that allow the user to take advantage of PEmicro's programming and debug tools, each with a different selection of NXP devices.

MCUXpresso IDE

MCUXpresso IDE supports PEmicro's Cyclone production programmers and Multilink debug probes with NXP® MCUs based on Arm® Cortex®-M cores, such as LPC, Kinetis, and i.MX devices. Click to read more about how to set up and use our Multilinks and Cyclones with MCUXpresso.
