This chapter describes the RCM4000 hardware in more detail, and
explains how to set up and use the accompanying Prototyping Board.
NOTE: This chapter (and this manual) assume that you have the RCM4000 Analog or
the RCM4010 Development Kit. If you purchased an RCM4000 or RCM4010 module
by itself, you will have to adapt the information in this chapter and elsewhere to your
test and development setup.
2.1 Install Dynamic C
To develop and debug programs for the RCM4000 series of modules (and for all other Rab-
bit hardware), you must install and use Dynamic C.
If you have not yet installed Dynamic C version 10.03 (or a later version), do so now by
inserting the Dynamic C CD from the Development Kit in your PC's CD-ROM drive. If
autorun is enabled, the CD installation will begin automatically.
If autorun is disabled or the installation does not start, use the Windows
or Windows Disk Explorer to launch
The installation program will guide you through the installation process. Most steps of the
process are self-explanatory.
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 selec-
tion is COM1. You may select any available port for Dynamic C's use. If you are not cer-
tain which port is available, select COM1. This selection can be changed later within
Dynamic C.
NOTE: The installation utility does not check the selected COM port in any way. Speci-
fying a port in use by another device (mouse, modem, etc.) may lead to a message such
as
"could not open serial port"
Once your installation is complete, you will have up to three new icons on your PC desk-
top. One icon is for Dynamic C, one opens the documentation menu, and the third is for
the Rabbit Field Utility, a tool used to download precompiled software to a target system.
If you have purchased any of the optional Dynamic C modules, install them after installing
Dynamic C. The modules may be installed in any order. You must install the modules in
the same directory where Dynamic C was installed.
