Join us at the Embedded World North America 2025 Conference, at Anaheim, California USA for a few exciting announcements, including the upcoming Cyclone MultiChannel family and a few other surprises.
The conference runs from November 4th to the 6th, 2025, at the Anaheim Convention Center.
Here's a sneak-peak video demonstration of in-development versions of the Cyclone Multichannel (at the conference we'll show finalized hardware versions):
The Cyclone Multichannel Programmer Features include:
Fully independent programming channels allow each channel to simultaneously :
program the same or different types of devices
program the same or different programming images
program devices at different interface voltages
program different individualized data
run automated tests on the channel target
Powerful control & automation SDK
Supports many programming languages and environments
Examples for C, LabVIEW, C#, Python, Rust, Visual Basic, Delphi, and more
Select programming images on a per channel basis
Add customized data on a per channel basis
Launch simultaneous programming and recover results from all channels
Many independent parallel programming channels in a very small physical space.
The highest density and performance/space ratio in the market.
Perfect for embedding in a fixture
Two models : A compact model and a model with more of everything.
The Cyclone Multichannel Core is an incredibly small unit
4 integrated programming channels
expandable with up to 3 external programming pods
With 3 QuadPod programming pods it supports a maximum of 16 channels
The Cyclone Multichannel Fusion has more features
Touch Screen Display
Expandable memory
Programming launch button
No onboard channels, but supports up to 8 external programming pods
With 8 QuadPod programming pods it supports a maximum of 32 channels
Expandable channels are supported all in one unit.
The Cyclone Multichannel Core has 4 integrated programming channels and supports up to 3 external programming pods
By itself, the Cyclone Multichannel Core supports 4 programming channels
With 1 QuadPod programming pods, it supports 8 channels
With 3 QuadPod programming pods, it supports the maxium 16 channels
The Cyclone Multichannel Fusion supports up to 8 external programming pods
With 1 QuadPod programming pods, it supports 4 channels
With 8 QuadPod programming pods, it supports the maximum 32 channels
High Performance and Flexibility
Each programming channel has its own dedicated processor and image storage. For instance, a single QuadPod programming pod internally has four processors/memory/logic to handle programming. This yields high performance and maximum flexibility
Power the targets attached to each channel by either:
Providing System Power up to 20v
Back feed MCU power on the debug connector
Programming Adapters support many programming scenarios. Quadpod Programming Pods (and Cyclone Multichannel Core) have 50-pin connectors which can be adapted as desired.
50-pin Wire Wrap adapter : Mount this adapter in a fixture and wire it in to a bed of nails. The programming pod plugs into it and can be removed leaving the wiring.
Quad Arm-Mini Debug Adapter : Connect into the 10-pin or 20-pin mini debug connects if your board has them. The adapter also has connectors to provide independent system power for all 4 targets.
Quad Arm-Standard Debug Adapter : Connect into standard ARM 20-pin debug header if your board has them. The adapter also has connectors to provide independent system power for all 4 targets.
Upcoming cloud support
Our Cyclone Multichannel family will also soon after release join our Cyclone LC and Cyclone FX in supporting our revolutionary free PEcloud management system, which allows you to control on your premises or remotely across the world multiple Cyclones at once, securely and with ease, allowing you to check production runs, check remote logs, start, stop, pause or restart programming jobs, group Cyclones into Virtual Factories or sub-groups, and more.
