INTRODUCTION
PEmicro's
Cyclone LC
production programmers are powerful, fast, and feature rich in-circuit
programming solutions. PEmicro offers two models which have the same feature set and only vary
by the devices supported.
Part# CYCLONE-LC-ARM supports a wide variety of ARM Cortex devices.
Part# CYCLONE-LC-UNIV supports those ARM Cortex devices as well as the following NXP
device families: Kinetis, LPC, S32, MPC55xx-57xx), MPC5xx/8xx, DSC, S12Z, RS08, S08, HC08,
HC(S)12(X), ColdFire, and STMicroelectronics’ SPC5 & STM8.
Note:
PEmicro refreshed Cyclone names and part numbers in July 2019. The part numbers listed on
earlier Cyclones will differ slightly. CYCLONE is now called Cyclone LC, however the hardware
has not changed.

Supported Architectures
Cyclone LC
programmers are designed to withstand the demands of a production environment.
They are Stand-Alone Programmers (SAP) that can be operated manually or used to host
automated programming. In manual SAP mode the Cyclone is operated using the touchscreen
LCD Menu and/or the Start button. Host-controlled SAP mode, for automated programming, is
accomplished using the Cyclone Control Suite.
