1.2 Advantages of the RCM3000

• Fast time to market using a fully engineered, "ready to run" microprocessor core.
• Competitive pricing when compared with the alternative of purchasing and assembling
individual components.
• Easy C-language program development and debugging
• Utility programs for rapid production loading of programs.
• Generous memory size allows large programs with tens of thousands of lines of code,
and substantial data storage.
• Integrated Ethernet port for network connectivity, royalty-free TCP/IP software.

1.3 Development and Evaluation Tools

A complete Development Kit, including a Prototyping Board and Dynamic C develop-
ment software, is available for the RCM3000. The Development Kit puts together the
essentials you need to design an embedded microprocessor-based system rapidly and effi-
ciently.

1.4 How to Use This Manual

This user's manual is intended to give users detailed information on the RCM3000 mod-
ule. It does not contain detailed information on the Dynamic C development environment
or the TCP/IP software support for the integrated Ethernet port. Most users will want more
detailed information on some or all of these topics in order to put the RCM3000 module to
effective use.

1.4.1 Additional Product Information

Information about the RCM3000 and its associated Development Kit and Prototyping
Board can be found in this RabbitCore RCM3000 User's Manual, which is provided on
