Chapter 3. Running Sample Programs; Introduction - Rabbit RabbitCore RCM3400 User Manual

3. R
To develop and debug programs for the RCM3400 (and for all
other Rabbit Semiconductor hardware), you must install and use
Dynamic C. This chapter provides a tour of its major features
with respect to the RCM3400.

3.1 Introduction

To help familiarize you with the RCM3400 modules, Dynamic C includes several sample
programs. Loading, executing and studying these programs will give you a solid hands-on
overview of the RCM3400's capabilities, as well as a quick start with Dynamic C as an
application development tool.
NOTE: The sample programs assume that you have at least an elementary grasp of ANSI
C. If you do not, see the introductory pages of the Dynamic C User's Manual for a sug-
gested reading list.
In order to run the sample programs discussed in this chapter and elsewhere in this manual,
1. Your RCM3400 must be plugged in to the Prototyping Board as described in Chapter 2,
"Getting Started."
2. Dynamic C must be installed and running on your PC.
3. The programming cable must connect the programming header on the Prototyping
Board to your PC.
4. Power must be applied to the RCM3400 through the Prototyping Board.
Refer to Chapter 2, "Getting Started," if you need further information on these steps.
To run a sample program, open it with the
using the menu (or press
Compile
(or press F9 ). The RCM3400 must be in Program Mode (see Figure 7) and must be con-
nected to a PC using the programming cable.
More complete information on Dynamic C is provided in the Dynamic C User's Manual.
