Cyclone Multi-Channel Programmer Preview (Updated with Video Demo)
Update: PEmicro will be demonstrating the Multi-Channel Programmer at Embedded World in Nuremberg, Germany, March 11-13, Hall 4, Booth 150. Stop by and say hello! PEmicro is expanding its popular line of Cyclone production programmers in Spring 2025 with the addition of a new Cyclone Multi-Channel Programmer. Video with Overview, Features, and Demonstration of Cyclone Multi-Channel Programmer
Limited-Time Promotion: 50% Discount. Upgrade V1 Licenses to V2 Licenses.
Over the years many customers have requested that PEmicro should instead use node-licensing for its flexibility and utility. We listened and the V2 Hardware License was born. The V2 Hardware License is activated once and stored inside the Multilink or Cyclone. This allows the user to take the hardware with them to any computer and share the hardware and software with colleagues. It's no longer necessary to activate per user and per computer.
Programming MCU Fuses, OTP, and Option Bytes
Article updated Aug. 2021 to describe automatic fuse generation for NXP i,MX RT devices. Some ARM devices have areas of flash memory dedicated to programming user configuration data. Writes to such areas can be sensitive or permanent for some devices, so it is important that the developer is able to write these options in an intuitive way in order to minimizes human error. PEmicro's PROGACMP v7.78 and Cyclone software installer v10.41 introduce a set of new "user options" commands: These commands allow the developer to individually program user options through the use of an IDE.
3 Upgrades Add Cyclone FX Advanced Features to the Cyclone LC
The Cyclone FX comes standard with many advanced features which aren't available by default on the Cyclone LC series of programmers. PEmicro offers a licensing mechanism to add three of these advanced Cyclone FX features to the Cyclone LC : ProCryption programming protection and encryption, Advanced Automation, and external SD card storage for images.
How to Configure and Write Microchip/Atmel Emulated EEPROM
Some Microchip/Atmel's SAM-Series devices allow rows of non-volatile flash memory (NVM) to be configured as EEPROM, so that users can treat NVM pages as EEPROM with Atmel's software, and let Atmel's back-end take care of keeping peripheral data safe. PEmicro's Cyclone in-system programmers and PROGACMP flash programming software each allow users to set up NVM main flash space as emulated EEPROM by programming the EEPROM FUSE bits in the device's User Row. Our latest Microchip/Atmel algorithms support single-byte writes to the User Row, to preserve adjacent User Row settings.
Microchip: How to Secure/Unsecure Microchip SAM-Series MCU
PEmicro prioritizes the safety of users’ intellectual property. Each manufacturer may employ multiple methods for securing or unsecuring a processor, so the goal is to make this process as simple and easy as possible for the user. In this article we'll explore utilizing the “Chip Protect” function of processors, which prevents data from being read or written from an external source. This helps keep data secure. Our example here is the Microchip SAM-Series MCU.
How to use PEMicro's Multilink and Cyclone Interfaces with Keil's MDK-ARM IDE
Download the Installer for PEmicro support under Keil uVision IDE PEmicro's run control and FLASH programming support is fully integrated into ARM's MDK-ARM Keil uVision Integrated Development Environment v5.25 for ARM microcontrollers. This provides debug capabilities via PEmicro's Multilink, Cyclone and embedded OpenSDA debug interfaces for a broad range of ARM devices from NXP, STMicroelectronics, Atmel, Cypress, Infineon, Silicon Labs and many others.

PEmicro Adds Support For NXP LPC8xx/54xx, Atmel/Microchip SAM4C & SiLabs EFR32 MG
PEmicro is excited to announce that we have recently added debug and flash programming support for a number of new ARM processor families: 
PEmicro Launches Support for Atmel SAMxxx ARM devices
BOSTON – March 3, 2015 - PEmicro announced support for Atmel's SAMxx ARM devices. Users of PEmicro's Cyclone for ARM devices production programmer will now be able to take advantage of this support to work with Atmel's SAMxxx ARM devices. SAMxxx devices are low-power, energy-efficient microcontrollers that include ARM Cortex cores.
