User Manual For Cyclone LC Programmers 12
If power is provided via the Cyclone, the user may need to configure the programming image
accordingly. Image creation and configuration is discussed in Section 2.3 - Creating A Stand-Alone
Programming Image.
For more information on the various power configurations, the user should refer to their Cyclone’s User
Manual. There is a also a blog post that covers this topic at: http://www.pemicro.com/blog/

Step 2. Connect Cyclone to a PC (for programming image setup)
The Cyclone programmer should be connected to the PC via USB, Serial, or Ethernet. Cables for each
of these options are included with the Cyclone.
Note: An Ethernet connection requires IP setup on the Cyclone unit; please refer to the Cyclone’s User
Manual for more information.
Step 3. Connect Cyclone to target
A ribbon cable should be connected from the appropriate Cyclone header (located under the Cyclone’s
access panel) to the header for your target device. Ribbon cables are provided with the Cyclone.
Step 4. Plug in power to the Cyclone
The provided power supply should be plugged into the System Power jack of the Cyclone programmer.
Other power connections should be made according to the power configuration selected in Step 1.
On power-up the user may need to agree to a firmware update on the Cyclone unit.

2.3 Creating A Stand-Alone Programming Image
A stand-alone programming (SAP) image is the result of pre-processing the programming algorithms,
data to be programmed, programming options, and scripted programming commands. These are
combined into a single encrypted file. This SAP image can then be loaded onto the Cyclone and used
to program, without need for the Cyclone to be connected to a PC.
The Cyclone Image Creation Utility, shown below, allows the user to configure and save SAP images.
A simple programming image can be created in 6 steps:
Step 1. Run Cyclone Image Creation Utility
Step 2. Select Device Manufacturer & Device
Step 3. Set Up Programming Sequence
Step 4. Add Basic Programming Commands
Step 5. Configure Additional Settings
Step 6. Save SAP Image To Cyclone
User Manual For Cyclone LC Programmers 14
The following instructions walk the user through each of these steps:
Step 1. Run Cyclone Image Creation Utility
CreateImage.exe is in the “ImageCreation” folder, in the location where the Cyclone software was
installed. For an in-depth description of the Cyclone Image Creation Utility, see Section 6.1 - Cyclone
Image Creation Utility.
Step 2. Select Device Manufacturer and Device
Specify CPU Manufacturer and Select New Device are used to choose the manufacturer of the target
device, and then the specific device or architecture.
Step 3. Programming Sequence Setup
The user should double-click on CM in the Programming Sequence window to choose the appropriate
Algorithm for the target device. They can navigate to the algorithm using the dialog provided.
Based on the algorithm that was selected, additional commands will be made available in the box of
programming commands on the left.
The user should then double-click on the SS command to specify the Object Code.
