Overview
The Cyclone MAX is a powerful stand-alone in-circuit programmer and
debugger for Freescale’s high-end architectures. The Cyclone is able to
control a processor using the processor’s debug port. Communication
occurs via Ethernet, USB, or Serial Port, allowing the user to quickly
debug code and program it onto a microprocessor. Once the Cyclone is
configured, programming operations are completed in one touch.

The Cyclone’s flexibility and intuitive software allows for a seamless transi-
tion between development and production environments. The Cyclone
and the target being debugged may be local to the PC or remotely con-
nected via Ethernet. Multiple Cyclones on your network can easily be
detected and controlled from the same PC. In addition, the Cyclone MAX
has been specifically designed with features like voltage protection tech-
nology in order to withstand the rigors of a production environment.

For debugging, prototyping, and other development projects, the Cyclone
can be used in Interactive Mode as a robust communications interface
between the PC and the target. Devices can be programmed in-circuit,
already mounted on a circuit board. The Cyclone is supported by P&E
software, Freescale’s Codewarrior, and other third-party software (avail-
able separately).

In Stand-Alone Mode, the Cyclone MAX is configured and loaded with
one or more programming images. Control of the Cyclone may then be

automated using a PC (e.g., for large production runs), or the Cyclone
can be operated completely independent of the PC (e.g., for field up-
dates). An LCD screen facilitates configuration and operation of the unit.
The display’s menu-based navigation allows the user to easily select the
image to be programmed when the Cyclone MAX contains multiple pro-
gramming images.
