P&E Microcomputer Systems' Cyclone PRO is an extremely flexible tool designed for in-circuit flash programming, debugging, and testing of Freescale HC08, HCS08, HC(S)12(X), ColdFire +, ColdFire V1, and RS08 microcontrollers.

By connecting to a simple BDM or MON08 header on the target, the Cyclone PRO can program, test, or debug internal memory on a Freescale 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 PRO may be operated interactively via Windows based programming applications as well as under batch or dll commands from a PC. Once loaded with data by a PC it can be disconnected and operated manually in a compley stand-alone mode via the LCD menu and control buttons. The Cyclone PRO has over 3Mbytes of non-volatile memory, which allows the onboard storage of multiple programming images. When connected to a PC for programming or loading it can communicate via the ethernet, U*, or serial interfaces.

The Cyclone PRO comes with intuitive configuration software, as well as easy to use automated control software. The Cyclone PRO also functions as a full-featured debug interface, and is supported by development software from P&E, Freescale, and many other third parties.
