Starting Dynamic C - Z-World Wolf BL2600 User Manual

2.4 Starting Dynamic C

Once the BL2600 is connected to your PC and to a power source,
clicking on the Dynamic C icon or by double-clicking on dcrabXXXX.exe in the Dynamic C
root directory, where XXXX are version-specific characters.
Dynamic C defaults to using the serial port on your PC that you specified during installa-
tion. If the port setting is correct, Dynamic C should detect the BL2600 and go through a
sequence of steps to cold-boot the BL2600 and to compile the BIOS. (Some versions of
Dynamic C will not do the initial BIOS compile and load until the first time you compile a
program.)
If you receive the message
cable may be connected to the wrong COM port, a connection may be faulty, or the target
system may not be powered up. First, check both ends of the programming cable to ensure

If Dynamic C appears to compile the BIOS successfully, but you then receive a communi-
cation error message when you compile and load a sample program, it is possible that your
PC cannot handle the higher program-loading baud rate. Try changing the maximum
download rate to a slower baud rate as follows.
• Locate the
Serial Options
menu. Select a slower Max download baud rate.
If a program compiles and loads, but then loses target communication before you can
begin debugging, it is possible that your PC cannot handle the default debugging baud
rate. Try lowering the debugging baud rate as follows.
• Locate the Serial Options
menu. Choose a lower debug baud rate.
