5.3 Upgrading Dynamic C

Dynamic C patches that focus on bug fixes are available from time to time. Check the Web
sites www.rabbit.com/support/ for the latest patches, workarounds, and bug fixes.
The default installation of a patch or bug fix is to install the file in a directory (folder) dif-
ferent from that of the original Dynamic C installation. Rabbit Semiconductor recom-
mends using a different directory so that you can verify the operation of the patch without
overwriting the existing Dynamic C installation. If you have made any changes to the
BIOS or to libraries, or if you have programs in the old directory (folder), make these
same changes to the BIOS or libraries in the new directory containing the patch. Do not
simply copy over an entire file since you may overwrite a bug fix; of course, you may
copy over any programs you have written. Once you are sure the new patch works entirely
to your satisfaction, you may retire the existing installation, but keep it available to handle
legacy applications.

5.3.1 Upgrades

Dynamic C installations are designed for use with the board they are included with, and
are included at no charge as part of our low-cost kits. Dynamic C is a complete software
development system, but does not include all the Dynamic C features. Rabbit Semicon-
ductor also offers add-on Dynamic C modules containing the popular µC/OS-II real-time
operating system, as well as PPP, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and other select
libraries. In addition to the Web-based technical support included at no extra charge, a
one-year telephone-based technical support module is also available for purchase.
