Product Features & Implementation
P&E’s Cyclone PRO is an extremely flexible tool designed for debugging,
testing, and in-circuit flash programming of Freescale’s ColdFireV1, HC08,
HCS08, RS08, and HC(S)12(X) microcontrollers. The Cyclone PRO connects
your target to the PC via USB, Ethernet, or Serial Port and enables you to
debug your code, program, and test it on your board. After development is
complete the Cyclone PRO can be used as a production tool on your
manufacturing floor.
For production, the Cyclone PRO may be operated interactively via Windows-
based programming applications as well as under batch or .dll commands
from a PC. Once loaded with data by a PC it can be disconnected and
operated manually in a stand-alone mode via the LCD menu and control
buttons. The Cyclone PRO has over 3Mbytes of non-volatile memory, which
allows the on-board storage of multiple programming images. When
connected to a PC for programming or loading it can communicate via the
ethernet, USB, or serial interfaces.
