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.
The Cyclones can be used in 4 different modes:
- Interactive programming packages are provided for all CPU families.
- Or you can link it to a PC, download multiple target programs to it and then disconnect it from the PC. It then becomes a manually controlled, standalone flash programmer for on chip or off chip memory.
- Or it 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.
-
With the addition of
PEmicro Windows based Debugger ( works
with Assembler
and C )
it can be used to debug code by providing downloading to memory, access to
it and the registers, as well as having the ability to set breakpoints, run
the CPU at full speed, slowly or in single step mode. Support for the Cyclone
Max 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 following options......
Additional Flash Memory
This option provides
2Gbytes of additional memory images implemented using a compact
Flash card (one included). The Cyclone Flash option allows for faster, easier, and more
flexible programming of data whether it is during field updates or
on production runs.
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.
