view and manage Serial Files and Encryption Keys.
The utility is composed of three main parts: a connection dialog, the control tabs, and a status
window.
Figure 8-2: Areas of the Cyclone Control GUI
8.4.1 The Connection Dialog
Allows the user to specify a Cyclone to connect with, as well as specify the connection options.
The utility will always automatically upgrade the firmware of a Cyclone if the firmware in the
Cyclone is outdated. However, firmware update can also be forced by using the checkbox in File-
>Force Firmware Update. This option will update the firmware on the Cyclone with the latest
firmware in the same folder as the Cyclone Control GUI.
At launch, the Cyclone Control GUI will show all the Cyclones detected on the network and those
attached by USB connections in a drop-down list. Cyclones can also be connected to by using the
“Specify Cyclone” checkbox and specifying a Cyclone by identifier. This identifier can by the
Cyclone name, its IP address or its port number.

Once the Cyclone is selected, clicking on the “Connect” button will bring a series of tabs that will
allow full access to the Cyclone.

8.4.2 The Control Tabs
The control tabs allow access to the Cyclone. Through these tabs you can view, add, and erase
Cyclone images, you can view and modify properties, you can modify licenses, see the Cyclone
screen remotely and view/manage Serial Files and Encryption Keys.

The Images tab allows the user to view and modify the Cyclone images both in internal Cyclone
memory and on external memory cards. To add a new image to the Cyclone, click on the “Add
Image Internal” button and selected the image you want to add. For the changes to take effect, the
“Apply Changes” button needs to be clicked, this will place the image in the Cyclone memory.

CYCLONE FX programmers and CYCLONE programmers with the SDHC Port Activation License
can also store images in external memory (an SDHC card). The storage area for the Add Image
button is toggled between Internal and External by clicking on the drop down arrow on the right of
the “Add Image” button. Users can also right-click on an uncommitted image to toggle the storage
between Internal and External.

Figure 8-5: Changing Storage Area - Right Click or Drop-Down Selections
Note: An image displayed in blue is not yet committed, so disconnecting from the Cyclone before the
“Apply Changes” button is clicked will discard any changes not committed.
Erasing an image can be done by clicking on the trashcan icon at the left of the image, it can also
be done by selecting the image and click the DELETE key on the keyboard. The “Apply Changes”
buttons must be clicked for any changes to the Cyclone to take place.
To format the external memory card click on the “Format External Card” button. This will erase all
image information stored in the external card.

The following information is displayed for each image in the Images Tab:
Delete Image - Clicking the trash icon will designate an image for deletion. Apply Changes
must be clicked to execute this action.
Number - Displays the Cyclone’s numbering for each image.
Name - Displays the Image Name.

Status - This displays whether the image is “Stored” on the Cyclone, “Ready to store”, or
“Ready to erase”. A stored image that is encrypted but missing its ImageKey will always show
“Key Missing!” to indicate that the user must provision the Cyclone with this key in order to
program that encrypted image.
Encryption - Displays “Encrpyted” for encrypted images, and “None” for images that have not
been encrypted.
