3.4 Finalization
Before closing the application, it is recommended that the session with the
P&E hardware be terminated and the DLL unloaded from memory.
These calls should always be made before the application closes:
disconnect_from_cyclonepromax( );
close_all_ports( );
unload_dll( );
Note that the
“unload_dll” call is only required for C/C++ applications. For the
Delphi and C# example projects, the DLL is automatically unloaded when the
application closes.
3.5 Initial Cyclone Setup
The Cyclone Image Creation Utility software, which is included with each
Cyclone unit, is used to create the standalone images that will be stored in the
non-volatile memory of the Cyclone. These images contain the FLASH /
EEPROM programming algorithms, the actual binary data to be programmed, the
sequence of programming operations, and user specified Cyclone settings.
Prior to using the Cyclone Automated Control Package, these standalone
images need to be created.
Please refer to the user‟s manual of your Cyclone
unit for more information on standalone images and image creation.
