faster than performing a full Verify Module command.
6.1.3.12 Choose Serial File
This command becomes available once a programming algorithm is selected. It specifies the serial
file that holds the serial numbers to be programmed to the target.
6.1.3.13 Program Serial Number
This command becomes available once a programming algorithm is selected. It will instruct the
Cyclone to program the serial number to the target once executed. As with other commands, the
serial number will not be programmed until the SAP operations are carried out.
Note:
When using a barcode scanner as part of the programming process, a Barcode Test file must be
included with the programming script of the SAP image. The “Use Barcode File” selection is
enabled, and the exact file specified, in the FX Special Features section of this window. Please
refer to
Section 6.1.7.2 - Use Barcode File
, and for more information on using a barcode scanner
with the Cyclone FX please see

6.1.4
Communication Mode and Rate Settings
CYCLONE
FX
programmers support multiple communication modes and communication rates. A
user needs to select proper communication mode and rate from the drop down list after
programming operations are specified. The debug connector pin definitions are listed for
reference.
6.1.5
Target Voltage and Power Settings
A user may elect to use Cyclone to supply power to the target. In this case, the Target Voltage
specifies the target MCU I/O voltage level.
The user needs to take into account the power discharge time for the Power Down delay. The
reset driver delays, power stabilization time, and the target clock stabilization time should be
considered for the Power Up delay.
A checkbox is available for a user to instruct the Cyclone to turn off target power after SAP
operations. If unchecked, the target power will remain on.
The user has the option to provide Reset Delay if certain reset monitoring devices are used. The
Cyclone will delay for the specified time after allowing the target out of reset.
6.1.6
Image Description
The Cyclone Image Creation Utility allows the user to summarize the purpose of current
configuration for future reference. The description will be either programmed into the Cyclone or
saved into an encrypted file.
The image description will appear on the touchscreen LCD for image identification. This field will
not affect the Cyclone’s operations with the target.
