Chapter 1. Introduction - Rabbit RabbitCore RCM3305 User Manual

The RCM3305 and RCM3315 RabbitCore modules feature a
compact module that incorporates the latest revision of the power-
®
ful Rabbit
(serial flash), static RAM, and digital I/O ports. The RCM3305
and RCM3315 feature an integrated 10/100Base-T Ethernet port,
and provide for LAN and Internet-enabled systems to be built as
easily as serial-communication systems.
In addition to the features already mentioned above, the RCM3305 and RCM3315 have
two clocks (main oscillator and real-time clock), reset circuitry, and the circuitry necessary
for management of battery backup of the Rabbit 3000's internal real-time clock and the
static RAM. Two 34-pin headers bring out the Rabbit 3000 I/O bus lines, parallel ports,
and serial ports.
The RCM3305's and the RCM3315's mass-storage capabilities make them suited to running
the optional Dynamic C FAT file system module and the featured remote application
update where data are stored and handled using the same directory file structure com-
monly used on PCs.
The RCM3305 or RCM3315 receives +3.3 V power from the customer-supplied mother-
board on which it is mounted. The RCM3305 and RCM3315 can interface with all kinds
of CMOS-compatible digital devices through the motherboard.
The Development Kit has what you need to design your own microprocessor-based
system: a complete Dynamic C software development system and a Prototyping Board
that allows you to evaluate the RCM3305 or RCM3315, and to prototype circuits that
interface to the RCM3305 or RCM3315 module.
