Cyclone flash programmers are powerful tools for in-circuit programming, debugging, and testing of MCU devices. They can function in stand-alone mode or be controlled from a PC. Programming may be launched by a single button press without a PC, or automatically from a PC via the automated control SDK. Cyclone programmers can additionally be used as debug probes during development and are supported by many IDEs.
Cyclone programmers support thousands of devices and offer security and encryption features to help users protect valuable IP. They are versatile tools that offer on-board storage of programming images, provide power to the target, support manual or automated programming, and have an easy-to-use touchscreen interfaces.

Connectivity
Connectivity
Cyclone programmers are stand-alone and can program target processors independently of a PC. Connecting to a PC allows the Cyclone programmers to be automatically controlled and also allows configuration of the Cyclone (such as adding more programming images). The Cyclone connects to the PC via USB, Ethernet, or Serial connections and all three cables are provided. For Ethernet connectivity, the Cyclone programmers can either be assigned a fixed IP or can dynamically acquire one via DHCP.
The Cyclone connects to the debug header of your target via a ribbon cable suitable for the architecture being programmed. It comes with ribbon cables for all supported architectures. For direct wiring into test fixtures, where there is not defined connector, there are several headers on the Cyclone with 0.1" spacing which are easily wired to.
Programming Modes
Stand-Alone Programming - Manual Control
The Cyclone can be used to program target processors in stand-alone mode without a PC. In this case, the images for programming are downloaded into the non-volatile memory of the Cyclone in advance of programming.
Once a programming image is resident in the Cyclone, programming can be as simple as pressing the start button. The result of programming can be seen on the Success/Error LEDs as well as the touchscreen (which shows far more detail). Using the start button is an extremely simple and fast way to program targets on the production line as well as perform firmware upgrades in the field. The difference between success and failure is clearly shown to the operator. The currently selected image can be changed on the touch screen.
Automatic serialization of the target processors, as specified by the image, is fully supported without a PC.
Stand-alone programming of an image can be manually launched in several ways:
Using the million press rated start button (one touch programming)
Using the touch screen LCD menu
Stand Alone Programming may also be fully automated from a PC.
Stand-Alone Programming - Automated
In addition to manual launch via the start button, stand-alone programming can be automatically controlled from a PC using the included Cyclone Control Suite.
The goal is to allow full control of one or more Cyclones from the PC, either from within a GUI, a custom application, or from the command-line. This includes launching programming, recovering results, managing images resident on a Cyclone, adding unique programming data for each target, and more. All of these things are possible in an automated way without an operator. The simplest fundamental control of programming looks like this :
Host PC Command Packet Launches Programming
Cyclone Image Programmed To Target
Cyclone Recovers Successful Result Or Error To PC
The three components of the Cyclone Control Suite allow you to automate control of a stand-alone programming image from a PC in several ways:
Cyclone Control Console (command-line utility). Launch programming, recover the result, and optionally change a programming image in a Cyclone from the command-line or within a batch file.
Cyclone Control SDK (.dll). Allows programming control to be integrated into user applications. Allows programming to be launched and results to be recovered from a Cyclone directly from the user's own application.
Cyclone Control GUI (graphical interface). Allows the user to add and remove a SAP image, access Cyclone and image settings and properties, add additional licenses to the Cyclone, and more.
Advanced Control and Automation
CYCLONEFX programmers include advanced automation features, such as the ability to gang program with multiple Cyclones. These can be added to CYCLONELC programmers. Jump to the Control & Automation tab for more information.
Interactive Debug, Programming, Test
The Cyclone can be used as a debug probe via the Serial, USB, or Ethernet ports in order to connect to and debug, test, and program a microprocessor-based target from the PC. The Serial, USB, and Ethernet ports can be used to access the target hardware directly from the Host PC, while the Ethernet port allows the target hardware to be placed anywhere on the corporate LAN or even the Internet.
For PC based testing, the UNIT library may be used with the Cyclone as a powerful tool to implement product level testing for product hardware.
For PC based programming (not stand alone), PEmicro includes both scripted and interactive versions of the PC-based PROG programming software with the Cyclone. This software is particularly useful for testing programming sequences which will be incorporated into a stand-alone programming image. The scripted version of the PROG software, CPROG, is also useful in those cases where the programming data is continually changing in a way that makes stand-alone programming less easy to implement.
The Cyclone programmer can store a number of Stand-Alone Programming (SAP) Images in its non-volatile encrypted memory. Once an image is added to the Cyclone, it remains in the memory of the Cyclone until it is erased. Images may be individually added and removed from the Cyclone.
A Stand-Alone Programming (SAP) Image is totally self-contained and stores within itself all of the binary data, algorithm information, settings, and programming steps for programming. In encodes any addition information needed such as serial numbers and how they count. When generating an image, the user specifies all programming steps, settings, and binary files used for programming. The generated image can be stored directly to a Cyclone or to the disk of the PC for later download to the Cyclone. Data within an image is encrypted but the settings used to generate the image can be viewed.
Expanded Storage
CYCLONEFX programmers, or CYCLONELC programmers with the optional SDHC Port Activation License, feature an SDHC port which allows SD memory cards to be used for expandable memory. SD cards are formatted in an encrypted fashion specific to the individual card. The card can then store programming images and associated data (such as serial numbers, programming counts, etc). SD Cards can be moved between Cyclones. PEmicro offers certified, tested SD Cards for encrypted expandable memory.
Independently powered target: The cyclone does not generate power to the target in this case.
Power provided by the Cyclone: The cyclone can generate between 1.8v-5.0v at 500mA. This power can be routed out the target ribbon cable or to the power-out jack on the Cyclone.
Power is provided externally, switched through Cyclone: Power is provided to a power-in jack on the Cyclone by the user. The switched output, controlled by the programming image, is routed to the power-out jack on the Cyclone.
The screen of the Cyclone has icons showing the status of the power relays(on/off) as well as whether target power is detected. Additionally, on the CYCLONEFX , target voltage and current consumption is shown as well.
Whether to generate power to the target or not is configured during image creation. Power can be manually switched in the menu of the Cyclone as well.
Security & Encryption
Cyclone programmers include anti-tamper technology as well as internal memory protection and encryption.
Procryption Security
Depending on the production environment, many users will want additional safeguards to protect their valuable IP. CYCLONEFX programmers include Procryption Security, a set of advanced security and encryption features, such as:
Procryption Security can be added to CYCLONELC programmers. Jump to the Security & Encryption tab for more information.
Serialization
When producing a microcontroller- or microprocessor-based product, it is often useful to program a unique serial number into the permanent memory (FLASH) of the product. PEmicro has developed a Serialization mechanism to automate this process. Each time you issue a serialization command in the programming software, the current serial number is programmed at a specified address. In addition, the serial number is incremented to the next available serial number and saved for future serialized programming operations.
Shared serial numbers are also supported, where different programming images can use the same set of serial numbers.
How-To Guides
How To A Create Programing Image (Video)
This video provides an overview of what constitutes a programming image, and demonstrates how to set up a basic SAP image using the Cyclone Image Creation Utility. Topics covered during setup include:
Target Power & Voltage Settings
Communication Settings
SAP image protection, including RSA/AES encryption that will only allow your SAP image to be decrypted on specific Cyclones
PEmicro has revised the SAP image format so that the user can now easily pull the configuration information straight from any SAP image created with the Cyclone Image Creation Utility version 6.22.00.02 or later.
This brief guide walks the user through this process.
Using Checksums for Cyclone SAP Image & Target Data Integrity
When working with the Cyclone, the user can calculate a checksum to help verify the integrity of the data on the target device, or of a SAP image. The former helps ensure that your device was programmed as intended, and the latter can be a time-saver for those working with multiple product lines and firmware versions.
Transitioning From Cyclone PRO/MAX to Cyclone LC/FX Universal
Migrating from the older Cyclone PRO or Cyclone MAX programmers (both discontinued) to the Cyclone LC Universal or Cyclone FX Universal is extremely easy. The Universal programmers are close to drop-in replacements for the PRO and MAX, albeit more powerful.
Choosing A Cyclone Model - Features & Device Support
Choosing the correct Cyclone model comes down to two simple factors:
1) Feature Set
This determines whether the CYCLONE LC or more advancedCYCLONEFX line of programmers is the best fit. Each of these lines has two models that support different sets of devices, so the other factor is:
2) Device Support
This determines whether the ARM model or the Universal model is needed.
Those working with certain Power Architecture families can take advantage of pipelined programming algorithms that dramatically increase programming speed.
STMicroelectronics STM8
Those working with STMicroelectronics' STM8 devices can use the Cyclone programmer's 6-pin connector (PORT F), and we also offer an STM8 adapter (sold separately) that converts the 6-pin signals from the Cyclone PORT F to a 4-pin ERNI connector.
Renesas
CYCLONEFX UNIVERSAL only: Those working with supported Renesas devices will require the Renesas adapter, which plugs into Ports C & E and connects to the target via the 14-pin ribbon cable.
Don't see your device? We are adding new support all of the time. Let us know!
Cyclone Control Suite - Overview
Cyclone programmers include PEmicro's Cyclone Control Suite, which provides comprehensive control of one or more Cyclones from the PC. Ways to control the Cyclone include programming launch, recovering results, managing images resident on a Cyclone, adding unique programming data for each target, as well as recovering descriptive errors.
Cyclone Control Suite consists of these three components:
Cyclone Control GUI This is an interactive GUI based application which provides an easy way to control Cyclones and manage images resident in the Cyclones. Given its graphical nature, it is very easy to explore Cyclone Control Suite capabilities to intuitively control or interact with a Cyclone.
Cyclone Control Console A powerful command-line application can be launched from a script, a command-line, or another application and allows control of one or more Cyclones simultaneously. The command-line application displays comprehensive status messages and also returns an error code which can be recovered from the calling application.
Cyclone Control SDK A Software Development Kit with a comprehensive API allowing multiple Cyclones to be managed simultaneously from a user developed custom application that loads the provided Cyclone Control DLL. The DLL can be loaded from many programming languages that are able to load a DLL (C, C++, Java, Python, Delphi, C#, etc) as well as environments such as LabView. Examples and interface code are provided in C (MSVC and GCC), LabVIEW, C#, Python, and Delphi/FPC.
The Console and GUI were both built using the SDK and are good examples of the types of applications which can be built using the SDK.
Cyclone Control Suite - Features
The Cyclone Control Suite offers standard and advanced control & automation features.
Standard Features
The following Standard Features are available in the SDK, Console, and GUI control application for all Cyclone programmers:
Control a single Cyclone via USB, Serial, or Ethernet connections
Select and Launch Images by Name or Enumeration
Add/Remove/Update a single image in the Cyclone
Add/Remove/Update multiple images (GUI)
Recover programming result and descriptive error information
Use automatically counting local (Cyclone stored) serial numbers
Simultaneously (Gang) Control of multiple Cyclones via the USB, Serial, or Ethernet connections
Add/Remove/Update many images in the Cyclone (Console, SDK, GUI)
Program (and Read) Dynamic Data in addition to fixed image data
PC Control Of Multiple Cyclones
How-To Guides
Gang Programming via Cyclone Control SDK
A volume production solution often relies on simultaneous gang programming of different target boards to meet speed and throughput requirements.PEmicro’s gang programming solution is to control many Cyclone programmers simultaneously via the Cyclone Control Suite.
A mix of programming images, targets, and data can be simultaneously programmed into many devices while maintaining a high level of performance because each Cyclone is itself an independently operating programmer. Learn more in our guide to gang programming.
Automated Programming with Cyclone Control Suite SDK
Read detailed walk-throughs of how to use the Control Suite SDK with various environments:
Many Cyclone users have to work with a very large number of stand-alone programming (SAP) image files and continually regenerate these images with new binaries. This article demonstrates how Cyclone users can fully automate the process of generating stand-alone programming (SAP) image files, to remove the chance of errors that could occur when the process is done manually.
CYCLONE FX Performance Metrics
High-Speed Programming
Time is money, especially when programming many thousands of devices. For those who need the fastest programming capability, CYCLONEFX programmers provide extremely high-speed and robust debug communications rates for ARM® Cortex® devices. With debug shift speeds reaching 75 Mbits/s, the download and verification rates achieved for almost every ARM Cortex device, even low-speed Cortex M0 parts, are in the MBytes per second range.
This results in the following advantages :
In most cases, the flash programming rate that is achieved is actually limited by the physical programming time of the underlying flash memory.
The verification rate for actual byte-by-byte verification is extremely fast. Even for devices where the flash programming rate is limited by the flash architecture, the verification rate that the Cyclone FX achieves results in substantial time savings.
As memory sizes increase and target flash technology improves, the impressive bandwidth advantage that the Cyclone FX has over competitive products will result in ever larger savings on the production line.
The exceptionally high performance of the CYCLONEFX programmer translates to fast programming cycle time and cost savings during production.
Cyclone Security & Encryption
Cyclone users often encounter situations where they need to ensure the security of their intellectual property.
Procryption Security is included with CYCLONEFX programmers and can be added to CYCLONELC programmers. This includes a number of enhancements to improve security and keep data safe, such as
1)Place restrictions on the use of programming images by programming count and date range.
One or more restrictions on a specific programming image can be set when the image is created in the Cyclone Image Creation Utility. Once configured, even if restricted programming images are deleted from Cyclone’s internal memory or an SD card, the Cyclone platform has a persistent memory that continues to tie security restrictions to that programming image. Thus, if an image is removed and re-added to a Cyclone, the image counts are maintained and would continue counting from where it left off. Also, if the SD Card is moved from Cyclone to Cyclone, the count is maintained in both Cyclones as well as the SD Card.
Every time an image is generated by the Cyclone Image Creation utility, it is encoded with a unique image ID number. All counts are stored relative to this unique ID number. So, when an image is regenerated in the Cyclone Image Creation utility, it will have its own counts which will not conflict with the previously generated image, even if the images are otherwise exactly the same. In this way, the user can regenerate an image to allow a new batch of targets to be programmed.
2) Create RSA/AES encrypted programming images (eSAP images) that use their own uniquely generated ImageKey(s). These programming images may only be used on Cyclones that are pre-configured with the same ImageKey(s).
Cyclone programmers leverage the industry leading wolfSSL cryptography stack to provide advanced cryptography protection and enablement for production programming setups. PEmicro uses a combination of industry-standard RSA and AES encryption technologies to encrypt images. When a programming image has been encrypted it requires two different asymmetric keys to be decrypted. The first is a user-generated RSA encryption Key that was specified when the programming image was generated. The second is a native key which comes pre-installed in the Cyclone (and does not exist on the PC). This means that an encrypted image may (A) only be loaded onto a Cyclone which holds a copy of a specific user-generated Image key, and (B) be decrypted for programming while on a Cyclone which holds a copy of a specific user-generated Image key.
Secure Boot Utility - Overview and Production Programming
NXP's i.MX RT devices include a Secure Boot feature which prevents them from running unauthorized code. But setup and troubleshooting of Secure Boot can be a challenge. PEmicro's Secure Boot Utility is an easy to use interface which provides the user with immediate, valuable feedback to speed the development process.
Here's a look at how security might be set up and used for production programming:
The Cyclone Control Suite (GUI, Console, SDK) allows the user to add and delete ImageKeys from Cyclones, much like programming images may be added or deleted. While many users will use only a single ImageKey to encrypt all of their images, Cyclones may have many different keys loaded.
