PEmicro is attending ST Technology Tour 2022 - Burlington on Weds., November 2. Our demonstration will use a Cyclone FX to program and run a series of custom test applications, query a remote server for data and then use the data retrieved to perform key Injection on the target, and program dynamic data. We'll have a booth running this demo at certain points during the day: - Breakfast demo: 9 to10:30am
- Lunch demo: 11:45am to 1:30pm
- Afternoon demo: 3 to 4:30pm
Please come visit us!

PEmicro is attending NXP Technology Days 2022 - Detroit on Tues., October 18 and Weds., October 19. We'll be demonstrating a possible upcoming Cyclone FX feature - the concept that the Cyclone could query a server for dynamic data including private and public keys, install a key and run a test application on the target device, and then if testing is successful, program the final image onto the target. We'll have a booth running this demo during lunch and dinner Tech Labs - please come visit us!

Automation features have always been central to PEmicro's Cyclone programmers because of the customization and control they give users over the crucial production programming process. The right features implemented well can result in significant savings of time and money. PEmicro now makes all of our advanced control/automation features standard with every Cyclone. Cyclone LC users (PEmicro part#s Cylcone-LC-UNIV and Cyclone-LC-ARM) can update their Cyclone software now to immediately add these powerful features at no additional cost. The updated software can be downloaded here: Cyclone LC and Cyclone FX Installation Software.

PEmicro's development and production tools now support Geehy Semiconductors' APM32F030xC devices. The APM32F030xC series are fully optimized and upgraded based on the performance of APM32F030x6x8, improving the capacity of FLASH and SRAM, increasing the number of UART interfaces, a wide range of upgraded peripherals and I/O, which can help customers expand innovative application fields such as industrial control and smart home at a more economical cost. PEmicro's Cyclone programmers can be used for secure production programming of iND832xx devices, including control and automation. In addition, Multilink debug probes with PROGACMP programmer, and GDB Server Eclipse IDE plug-in are ideally suited for the development process.

PEmicro has added 64-bit Windows libraries to the Cyclone Control Suite. Now available in the Cyclone LC and Cyclone FX Installation Software. The 32-bit library and other deliverables are located in: C:\PEMicro\cyclone\cycloneControl\controlsdk\deploy\win32 The 64-bit library and other deliverables are located in C:\PEMicro\cyclone\cycloneControl\controlsdk\deploy\win64 In addition, the python example has been updated to automatically load the appropriate DLL depending on your platform. Please note that the CycloneControlGUI and CycloneControlConsole applications remain 32-bit. Please contact technical-info@pemicro.com if you have any questions about our 64 bit support.

PEmicro's Secure Boot Utility is now updated to support NXP's LPC55Sxx processors. The LPC55Sxx secure boot feature is a key component in protecting embedded devices as security threats increase both in volume and complexity. PEmicro’s Secure Boot Utility is a graphical user interface which configures Secure Boot for applications running on LPC55Sxx devices and sets device security features to inhibit copying or misuse. Functionality includes signing applications, generating keys and certificates, setting security options, and running a security analysis of all settings. The Secure Boot Utility automates building secure boot binary files and is used in the process of generating encrypted secure boot programming images for manufacturing. The goal is to make sure the user's application data is secure in both the manufacturing stage and when devices are deployed in the field. The tool includes a security analyzer which grades the user's security choices based on how secure it will leave the device after programming. The Secure Boot Utility is integrated into the Cyclone production programming software and included with the PROGARM programming software.

PEmicro supports external flash connected to an MCU via the SPI and Address/Data bus interfaces. When performing this type of programming, the algorithm needs to be set up specifically for our programmers to be able to communicate with the flash via the MCU. What must be configured depends on which external bus interface has been chosen for the connection. When using the Address/Data bus, the user will need to configure the external address, data, and bus control pins of the MCU. In the case of the SPI bus, the user will need to configure GPIO pins connected to the external SPI device properly. The modifications are made in the header of the algorithm file. PEmicro's PROGACMP software, as of version 8.84, has an SPI Diagnostic mode that provides the user with a new method to easily test the GPIO configuration in order to help troubleshoot programming issues.

PEmicro has added production programming support for the Renesas RA family Device Lifecycle Management (DLM) and TrustZone boundary settings to the Cyclone FX programmer. Device Lifecycle Management and TrustZone boundary settings are used to secure access to the on-chip Flash and Ram both from external debug/bootloader access as well as untrusted code running internal to the device on devices with DLM Technology and TrustZone support (such as Cortex-M33 devices). Configuration and programming of these settings is made simple with PEmicro's stand alone programmers.
