Page 5: Chapter 1: Introduction & Overview
1. I & O NTRODUCTION VERVIEW The RCM2200 is an advanced module that incorporates the pow- erful Rabbit 2000 microprocessor, flash memory, static RAM, ™ digital I/O ports, and a 10Base-T Ethernet port, all on a PCB just half the size of a business card. 1.1 RCM2200 Description The RCM2200 is a small-footprint module designed for use on a motherboard that sup- plies power and interface to real-world I/O devices. -
Page 6: Physical & Electrical Specifications
In addition, a variant of the RCM2200 is available. The RCM2300 omits the Ethernet con- nectivity but offers a much smaller footprint, one-half the size of the RCM2200. Another RabbitCore module can be used to reprogram an RCM2200. This reprogramming (and debugging) can be done via the Internet using Z-World’s RabbitLink network pro- gramming gateway or with Ethernet-equipped RabbitCore RCM2100 and RCM2200 models using Dynamic C’s DeviceMate features. -

• If you do not have a suitable printer or do not want to print the manual yourself, most retail copy shops (e.g. Kinkos, AlphaGraphics, etc.) will print the manual from the PDF file and bind it for a reasonable charge—about what we would have to charge for a printed and bound manual.

Page 9: Chapter 2: Hardware Setup
2. H ARDWARE ETUP This chapter describes the RCM2200 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 RCM2200 Development Kit. If you purchased an RCM2200 module by itself, you will have to adapt the infor- mation in this chapter and elsewhere to your test and development setup. -

Page 11: Prototyping Board Features
2.2.1 Prototyping Board Features Power Connection —A 3-pin header is provided for connection to the power supply. • Note that it is symmetrical, with both outer pins connected to ground and the center pin connected to the raw V+ input. The cable of the wall transformer provided with the North American version of the development kit ends in a connector that is correctly connected in either orientation. -

• Module Extension Headers RabbitCore modules are duplicated at these two sets of headers. Developers can solder wires directly into the appropriate holes, or, for more flexible development, 26-pin header strips can be soldered into place. See Figure 1 for the header pinouts. -
Page 13: Development Hardware Connections
2.3 Development Hardware Connections There are four steps to connecting the Prototyping Board for use with Dynamic C and the sample programs: 1. Attach the RCM2200 module to the Prototyping Board. 2. Connect the programming cable between the RCM2200 module and the workstation PC. 3. -

PC. Make a note of the port to which you connect the cable, as Dynamic C needs to have this parameter configured when it is installed. Figure 5. Connect Programming Cable to RCM2200 NOTE: COM 1 is the default port used by Dynamic C. RabbitCore RCM2200... -
Page 15: Connect Ethernet Network Cable
Area Networks, but exceptional care should be used with IP address settings and all network-related programming and development. We recommend that development and debugging be done on a local network before connecting a RabbitCore system to the Internet. TIP: Checking and debugging the initial setup on a micro-LAN is recommended before connecting the system to a LAN or WAN. -
Page 16: Connect Power
To power down the Prototyping Board, unplug the power connector from J5. You should disconnect power before making any circuit adjustments in the prototyping area, changing any connections to the board, or removing the RabbitCore module from the board. RabbitCore RCM2200... -
Page 17: Where Do I Go From Here
1. Run all of the sample programs described in Section 3.4 to get a basic familiarity with Dynamic C and the RCM2200 module’s capabilities. 2. For further development, refer to the RabbitCore RCM2200 User’s Manual for details of the module’s hardware and software components. - Page 18 RabbitCore RCM2200...

Page 19: Chapter 3: Software Installation & Overview
3. S & O OFTWARE NSTALLATION VERVIEW To develop and debug programs for the RCM2200 (and for all other Z-World and Rabbit Semiconductor hardware), you must install and use Dynamic C. This chapter takes you through the installation of Dynamic C, and then provides a tour of its major features with respect to the RCM2200 module. -
Page 20: Hardware Requirements
• At least one free COM (serial) port for communication with the target systems • A 10Base-T Ethernet network interface port (optional if you will not be using the RCM2200’s Ethernet port) • A CD-ROM drive (for software installation) RabbitCore RCM2200... -

Page 28: Running Tcp/Ip Sample Programs
A similar situation will take place if you use a dial-up line to send a packet to the Internet. Windows may try to send it via the local Ethernet network if it is also valid for that network. RabbitCore RCM2200... - Page 29 The following IP addresses are set aside for local networks and are not allowed on the Internet: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255, and 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255. The RCM2200 board uses a 10Base-T type of Ethernet connection, which is the most common scheme.

Page 30: Ip Addresses Explained
(216.102.126.0) is used to identify the local network. The highest address (216.102.126.255) is used as a broadcast address. Usually one other address is used for the address of the gateway out of the network. This leaves 256 - 3 = 253 available IP addresses for the example given. RabbitCore RCM2200... -
Page 31: How Ip Addresses Are Used
4.4 How IP Addresses are Used The actual hardware connection via an Ethernet uses Ethernet adapter addresses (also called MAC addresses.) These are 48-bit addresses and are unique for every Ethernet adapter manufactured. In order to send a packet to another computer, given the IP address of the other computer, it is first determined if the packet needs to be sent directly to the other computer or to the gateway. -
Page 32: Dynamically Assigned Internet Addresses
IP address is usually not guaranteed. If you are not concerned about accessing the RCM2200 from the Internet, you can place the RCM2200 on the internal network using a private address assigned either statically or through DHCP. RabbitCore RCM2200... -
Page 33: Placing Your Device On The Internet
4.6 Placing Your Device on the Internet In many corporate settings, users are isolated from the Internet by a firewall and/or a proxy server. These devices attempt to secure the company from unauthorized network traffic, and usually work by disallowing traffic that did not originate from inside the net- work. -

// #define MY_GATEWAY "216.112.116.153" In this case, the gateway is not used and is commented out. The IP address of the board is defined to be 10.1.1.2. The IP address of you PC can be defined as 10.1.1.1. RabbitCore RCM2200... -
Page 35: How To Set Up Your Computer's Ip Address For Direct Connect
4.8 How to Set Up your Computer’s IP Address for Direct Connect When your computer is connected directly to the RCM2200 board via an Ethernet connec- tion, you need to assign an IP address to your computer. To assign the PC the address 10.1.1.1 with the subnetmask 255.255.255.248 under Windows 98, do the following. -
