Dynamic C is an integrated development system for writing
embedded software. It runs on an IBM-compatible PC and is
designed for use with Rabbit Semiconductor devices and other
devices based on the Rabbit microprocessor. Chapter 4 provides
the libraries and function calls related to the RCM3100.
5.1 More About Dynamic C
Dynamic C has been in use worldwide since 1989. It is specially designed for program-
ming embedded systems, and features quick compile and interactive debugging. A com-
plete reference guide to Dynamic C is contained in the Dynamic C User's Manual.
You have a choice of doing your software development in the flash memory or in the static
RAM included on the RCM3100. The flash memory and SRAM options are selected via
the "BIOS Memory Setting" in the
The advantage of working in RAM is to save wear on the flash memory, which is limited
to about 100,000 write cycles. The disadvantage is that the code and data might not both
fit in RAM.
NOTE: An application can be developed in RAM, but cannot run standalone from RAM
after the programming cable is disconnected. All standalone applications can only run
from flash memory.
NOTE: Do not depend on the flash memory sector size or type. Due to the volatility of
the flash memory market, the RCM3100 and Dynamic C were designed to accommo-
date flash devices with various sector sizes.
The RCM3100 model has two 256K flash memories. By default, Dynamic C will use only
the first flash memory for program code in the RCM3100 model. Uncomment he BIOS

code that is in excess of the available memory in the first flash.
