Cyclone Automated Control Package
44
6.1 Startup
a) Connect all Cyclone units to the PC via RS232, USB, or Ethernet. Any
combination of different connections is allowed. The exception is that only
one RS232 serial port connection can be used; no more than one Cyclone
can be connected via the RS232 serial port.
b) Connect all Cyclones to their target systems. This is done using a ribbon
cable that connects from the Cyclone to a debug header on the target board.
c) Power up the PC, all Cyclone units, and all target systems that require
external power.
d) Run the software from the DOS prompt. Allowed command line parameters
are:
CYCLONE_LAUNCH.exe [script filename] [?] [!] [-O] [output
filename] [hideapp]
Where
[script filename]
is a configuration file containing all
operations to be carried out. Refer to section 6.2 for more details. This
must be the first parameter passed to the application.
[?]
designates that Cyclone Launch should remain open when
operations are completed. If this parameter is not specified, the utility
will automatically close upon completion.
[!]
designates that Cyclone Launch should remain open if any error is
encountered. If there is no error, the software will automatically close
upon completion.
[-O]
designates that the results are saved in an output file following
this parameter. The [output filename] parameter is mandatory if [-O] is
used.
[output filename]
is an output file that contains the operation
results. A user can check the output file to see if the operations were
successful and also identify which Cyclone units have failed.
[hideapp]
designates that Cyclone Launch should be minimized at
startup.
