The RCM2110 is identical to the RCM2100 except that it is equipped with 128k of SRAM and 256k of flash memory. 1.1.2 Standard Non-Ethernet Versions To accommodate developers and users who want the RCM2100’s footprint and capabili-...
  • Page 7 The RCM2100 modules have two 40-pin headers to which cables can be connected, or which can be plugged into matching sockets on a production device. The pinouts for these connectors are shown in Figure 1 below. PB1-CLKA PCLK BA12 BA11...

  • Page 8: Development Software

    1.2 Development Software The RCM2100 series of modules uses the Dynamic C development environment for rapid creation and debugging of runtime applications. Dynamic C provides a complete develop- ment environment with integrated editor, compiler and source-level debugger. It interfaces directly with the target system, eliminating the need for complex and unreliable in-circuit emulators.

  • Page 11: Chapter 2: Hardware Setup

    NOTE: This chapter (and this manual) assume that you have the RabbitCore RCM2100 Development Kit. If you purchased an RCM2100 series module by itself, you will have to adapt the information in this chapter and elsewhere to your test and development setup.

  • Page 12: Overview Of The Prototyping Board

    The Prototyping Board included in the Development Kit makes it easy to connect an RCM2100 module to a power supply and a PC workstation for development. It also pro- vides an array of basic I/O peripherals (switches and LEDs), as well as a prototyping area for more advanced hardware development.

  • Page 13: Prototyping Board Features

    Two momentary-contact, normally open switches are connected to the PB2 and PB3 pins of the RCM2100 module, and may be read as inputs by sample applications. Two LEDs are connected to the PA0 and PA1 pins of the module, and may be driven as output indi- cators by sample applications.

    Module Extension Headers. The complete pin set of the RCM2100 module is duplicated at these two headers. Developers can solder wires directly into the appropriate holes, or, for more flexible development, two 40-pin header strips can be soldered into place. See Figure 1 on page 3 for the header pinouts.

  • Page 15: Development Hardware Connections

    1. Attach the RCM2100 module to the Prototyping Board. 2. Connect the programming cable between the RCM2100 module and the workstation PC. 3. Connect the module’s Ethernet port to a PC’s Ethernet port, or to an Ethernet network.

  • Page 16: Attach Module To Prototyping Board

    2.3.1 Attach Module to Prototyping Board Turn the RCM2100 module so that the Ethernet connector is on the left, as shown in Figure 4 below. Align the module headers J1 and J2 into sockets J1 and J3 on the Prototyping Board.

    Ethernet capability or will be doing Ethernet-enabled development, you should con- nect the RCM2100’s Ethernet port at this time. There are four options for connecting the RCM2100 module to a network for development and runtime purposes. The first two options permit total freedom of action in selecting net- work addresses and use of the “network,”...

  • Page 19: Connect Power

    2.3.4 Connect Power When all other connections have been made, you can connect power to the RCM2100 Pro- totyping Board. Hook the connector from the wall transformer to header J5 on the Prototyping Board as shown in Figure 7 below. The connector may be attached either way as long as it is not offset to one side.

    We recommend that you proceed to the next chapter and install Dynamic C (if you do not already have it installed), then run the first sample program to verify that the RabbitCore module and prototyping board are set up and functioning correctly.

  • Page 21: Chapter 3: Software Installation & Overview

    OFTWARE NSTALLATION VERVIEW To develop and debug programs for the RCM2100 series (and for all other Z-World and Rabbit Semiconductor hardware), you must install and use Dynamic C. This chapter takes you through the instal- lation of Dynamic C, and then provides a tour of its major features with respect to the RCM2100 series.

    3.3.3 Select COM Port Dynamic C uses a COM (serial) port to communicate with the target development system. The installation allows you to choose the COM port that will be used. The default selection, as shown in the example above, is COM1. You may select any avail- able port for Dynamic C’s use.

    If it is, check both ends of the programming cable to ensure that it is firmly plugged into the PC and the RCM2100’s programming port. If you are using the Prototyp- ing Board, ensure that the module is firmly and correctly installed in its connectors.

    4.3 Sample Program: FlashLED.c If you did not load and compile in the prior section, refer to Sections 4.2.3 FlashLED.c and 4.2.4. Program Description This program is about as simple as a Dynamic C application can get—the equivalent of the traditional “Hello, world!” program found in most basic programming tutorials. If you are familiar with ANSI C, you should have no trouble reading through the source code and understanding it.

  • Page 36: Sample Program: Pingled.c

    4.6 Sample Program: PingLED.c One of the RCM2100 series’s most important features is the availability of the built-in Ethernet port. This program makes the simplest possible use of the network port by “ping- ing” a remote system and using LEDs to report the status of the ping attempt and its return.
  • Page 37 The program then resolves the address to be pinged into a numeric value. using the library function . If the defined address is numeric, it converts the define string into resolve() truly numeric form. If the address is a domain name, the function queries the indicated DNS server to obtain the numeric address.

    When the program starts, LEDs DS2, DS3 and DS5 will be lit, and DS4 will be dark. Open a web browser and enter the IP address you defined for the RCM2100 module in the program in the address window. A page like that shown in Figure 8 should appear.
  • Page 39 As with PingLED.c, several network addresses must be defined before this application can work. The most important is again , which defines the RCM2100 MY_IP_ADDRESS system’s IP address. The netmask value should be set if the default of 255.255.255.0 is not correct.
