12.6 Shared Serial Numbers
An important feature of the Serialize utility is that it automatically creates a Unique ID anytime a
serial file is created or modified. This allows Stand-Alone Programming (SAP) images stored on a
Cyclone to share serial numbers that reference the same unique serial number ID. There are
several cases where this is very useful. The first is when a user may want to update their firmware
for a product to a new version but needs the serial number to have persistence. The user may also
have different products that need to be programmed with different firmware, but need to have
those products draw from the same serialization sequence.
Note: Shared serial numbers require Cyclone LC firmware version 10.13 and later.
12.6.1 Example
This sections describes how a user might configure multiple SAP images on their Cyclone to share
the same Serial File.
12.6.1.1 View and Edit SAP image Via Cyclone Control GUI
In Figure 13-4 , the Cyclone Control GUI has been launched and is looking at the image contents
of the Cyclone. In this case it shows that the Cyclone named Colossus contains four different SAP
images.To view properties of a particular image properties, the user can simply right click on the
desired image and select “View properties” which will pop up an image properties window. In this
case it shows Image “Kinetis K64 PE S2 and Mac S4.” The Image Unique ID is visible, as well as
the two serial numbers and their respective Unique IDs. It also shows the next serial numbers (in
ASCII representation) to be programmed upon launch: PE-000 and MAC-00, respectively.
