But what to do with the web site ? It has taken >12 man years of work to create a repository of knowledge on many aspects of the art and science of embedded microprocessor development and even after closing the shop it still gets over 4,000 visitors per month. So as a service to my customers I have decide to keep it live providing my technical insights on the products and then redirecting viewers to sites where they can purchase the items they used to buy from us. Follow the link "Home" The "Information zone" consists of articles produced as background tutorials on subjects of interest to those designing new products. As different CPUs have became available this has lead to new development techniques and in particular to new ways of communicating between nodes.

† ARM Cortex M4 currently supports the following families: ATMEL SAMxxx, STM32, NXP M0,M3,M4, NXP/Freescale Kinetis (all), S32, LPC, i.MX TI-Stellaris LM3S,LM4,TM4C12xx, Infineon XMC4xxx, Maxim 716xx, Silicon Labs EFM32, ERF32, SiM3, Cypress PSoC®4, PSoC®5, PSoC®6, Toshiba TX00,TX03,TX04 On-Bright OB90R, Nordic semi nRF51, nRF52, Silergy MAX716xx. For latest list of chips see http://www.pemicro.com/cyclone/index.cfm#support . as well as a wide range of on and off chip SPI and off chip flash memories.
Why
Pay extra for the FX version ?........the most important reason is that for
those chips marked with a star the download speed is 3 - 5 times faster.
But see below for the full details of the Cyclone FX's enhancements.
Cyclone the professional Microprocessor Programming tool |
Holds multiple Program images |
|
The Cyclones share this common set of features
|
 |
|
Cyclone Universal and Cyclone ARM
|
And now with faster links to both the PC and the target the Cyclone Universal FX and Cyclone ARM FX can speed up the production line and add extra security to your programming process. ......... For more details of this product Cyclone Universal FX
|
|
|
CPU Support and features are as for the Cyclone Universal with the following enhancements :-
|
|
The Cyclones can be used in 4 different modes:
- Interactive programming packages are provided for each Models supported CPU families.
- Or you can link the unit to a PC, download multiple target programs to it and then disconnecting it from the PC The Cyclone then becomes a manually controlled, standalone flash programmer for on chip or off chip memory.
- Or they can be driven by a PC via the Ethernet, USB or Serial port with automated commands either using command line instructions or from a C program using the dll included in the package.
-
For
the Universal LC, ARM and FXs Pro if using GCC/GDB,
Keil, IAR, CodeWarrior or with the addition of PEmicro Windows based Debugger (
which works
with Assembler
and C )
allows them to be used to debug code by downloading it to memory
and having the ability to set breakpoints, run the CPU at
full speed, slowly or in single step mode, access to
memory and the registers, . Support for the Cyclone
is being provided by a number of
leading C compiler manufacturers within their C Debugging environment.
A Software Development Kit is available that allows multiple Cyclones to be driven by a single CPU for economical operation in large production environments.
Cyclone Options
All the Cyclones can be upgraded with the Automated Control package
Automated Control Package
These Windows packages include a command line driven application
Cyclone Launch and a set of DLLs providing a range of features of
value when using the Cyclone in production situations :-
Basic Edition ----- Free Download ---- Controls
a single Cyclone from a PC via USB or Ethernet allowing one
Programming Image to be held on the Cyclone which does not have to
be downloaded every time so increasing performance.
Professional Edition ----- Controls up to 3
Cyclones from a PC via USB or Ethernet, allowing up to 8 Programming
Images, which do not have to be downloaded every time, to be changed
on the fly and dynamic data such as serial numbers to manipulated
from the PC. Supported devices can be programmed in parallel, even
if they are different devices with different data.
Enterprise Edition ----- As for the Pro version but
unlimited numbers of Cyclones may be controlled from a single PC,
More than 8 images can exist on the Cyclones and Licences for 5 end
user PCs are included. Also provided is a full description of
the RS232 and Ethernet command Protocols so that non Windows users
can implement similar functionality.
Additional Flash Memory
The Universal and ARM units have an SDHC memory port and
this allows added storage capacity and flexibility.
