use of a bar code scanner, which can provide the user with helpful features during the
programming process. For detailed information on how to use the barcode scanner with a Cyclone

Optional Oscillator (MON08 Only)
CYCLONE
FX
programmers with MON08 support (PEmicro Part#
CYCLONE_UNIVERSAL_FX
only) provide a software configurable 9.8304MHz or 4.9152 MHz oscillator clock signal to Pin 13 of
the MON08 Connector. The user may use this clock signal to overdrive the target RC or crystal
circuitry. If this signal is not used, just leave Pin 13 of the target MON08 header unconnected.
Please note that if the target already uses an oscillator as its clock, the Cyclone will NOT be able to
overdrive it. The clock should have sufficient drive to be used with a target system even if the
target system has an RC circuit or crystal connected.

Cyclone Time / Real Time Clock
CYCLONE
FX
programmers are equipped with a Real Time Clock (RTC) module designed to
keep accurate timing even when the Cyclone is turned off.
The Date & Time are displayed on the home screen. Date/Time settings can be configured by
navigating to the following menu using the touchscreen display:
Main Menu / Configure Cyclone Settings / Configure Time Settings
For more information on the available configuration options, see
Time Settings (Cyclone Time / Real Time Clock)

Power Jumper Settings
The Power Jumpers must be set differently for various power management options that the
CYCLONE
FX
offers. If the target is being powered independently of the
CYCLONE
FX
, all pins in
the Power Jumpers header must instead be left unpopulated. To reveal the Power Jumpers
header, lift the access panel on the left end of the
CYCLONE
FX
. The location is indicated as

the correct jumper settings for the Cyclone’s power management options. A quick guide to these
settings is also located on the underside label of the
CYCLONE
FX

Debug Connectors
When purchasing a
CYCLONE
FX
programmer, the user is able to choose between two part
numbers, each corresponding to a different level of device support. See the sticker on the
underside of the Cyclone to determine the PEmicro part# for your specific
CYCLONE
FX
programmer.
PEmicro Part# CYCLONE_ACP_FX
supports ARM Cortex devices only, so this programmer
provides one shrouded, un-keyed, 0.100-inch pitch dual row 0.025-inch square header, and two
shrouded, keyed 0.050-inch pitch dual row mini headers.
PEmicro Part# CYCLONE_UNIVERSAL_FX
supports ARM Cortex devices and additionally
supports target connections to many 8-/16-/32-bit NXP architectures, so this programmer provides
six shrouded, un-keyed, 0.100-inch pitch dual row 0.025-inch square headers, and two shrouded,
keyed 0.050-inch pitch dual row mini headers.
To reveal the headers and connect/disconnect ribbon cables, lift the access panel on the left end
of the Cyclone. Each header is designated for one or more specific target architectures, as
indicated in
