P&E Microcomputer Systems’ Cyclone MAX is an extremely flexible tool designed for in-circuit flash programming, debugging, and testing of a variety of Freescale architectures, including the Kinetis ARM Cortex-M4. By connecting to a simple BDM/JTAG header on the target, the Cyclone MAX can program, test, or debug internal memory on a processor or external flash connected to the processor's address/data bus. The processor or memory device can be mounted on the final printed circuit board before programming. The Cyclone MAX may be operated interactively via Windows-based programming applications as well as under batch or .dll commands from a PC. Once a programming image is loaded, the Cyclone can be disconnected and operated manually in a completely stand-alone mode via the LCD menu and control buttons. The Cyclone MAX has over 7Mbytes of non-volatile memory (and an optional CompactFlash capability) which allows the storage of multiple programming images. When connected to a PC for programming or loading it can communicate via Ethernet, USB, or serial interfaces. It is also designed to withstand the rigors of a rugged, high-volume programming environment. P&E's Cyclone MAX Automated Programmer and Debug Interface supports Freescale's Kinetis ARM and ARM MAC7xxx microcontrollers.
