RabbitCore RCM3000
Development Kit Contents
The RCM3000 Development Kit contains the following items:
•RCM3010 module with Ethernet port, 256K flash memory, and 128K SRAM.
•Prototyping Board.
•AC adapter, 12 V DC, 1 A. (Included only with Development Kits sold for the North American market.
A header plug leading to bare leads is provided to allow overseas users to connect their own power
supply with a DC output of 8–24 V.)
•10-pin header to DB9 programming cable with integrated level-matching circuitry.
•Dynamic C®CD-ROM, with complete product documentation on disk.
•Getting Started instructions.
•A bag of accessory parts for use on the Prototyping Board.
•Rabbit 3000 Processor Easy Reference poster.
•Registration card.
Starting Dynamic C
Once the RCM3010 is connected as described in the preceding pages, start Dynamic C by double-clicking
on the Dynamic C icon or by double-clicking on dcrab_XXXX.exe in the Dynamic C root directory,
where XXXX are version-specific characters. Dynamic C uses the serial port specified during installation.
If you are using a USB port to connect your computer to the RCM3010, choose Options > Project
Options and select “Use USB to Serial Converter.” You may have to determine which COM port was
assigned to the RS-232/USB converter.
Run a Sample Program
Use the File menu to open the sample program PONG.C, which is in the Dynamic C SAMPLES folder.
Press function key F9 to compile and run the program.The STDIO window will open on your PC and will
display a small square bouncing around in a box.
Where Do I Go From Here?
If the sample program ran fine, you are now ready to go on to other sample programs and to develop your
own applications. The source code for the sample programs is provided to allow you to modify them for
your own use. The RCM3000 User's Manual on the Dynamic C CD also provides complete hardware
reference information and describes the software function calls for the RCM3000 RabbitCore modules and
the Prototyping Board.
Troubleshooting
If Dynamic C cannot find the target system (error message "No Rabbit Processor Detected."):
•Check that the RCM3010 is powered correctly — the red POWER LED on the Prototyping Board should
be lit when the RCM3010 is mounted on the Prototyping Board and the AC adapter is plugged in.
•Check both ends of the programming cable to ensure that they are firmly plugged into the PC and the
PROG connector, not the DIAG connector, is plugged in to the programming port on the RCM3010.
•Ensure that the RCM3010 module is firmly and correctly installed in its socket on the Prototyping
Board.
•Select a different COM port within Dynamic C. From the Options menu, select Project Options,
then select Communications. Select another COM port from the list, then click OK. Press <Ctrl-Y>
to force Dynamic C to recompile the BIOS. If Dynamic C still reports it is unable to locate the target sys-
tem, repeat the above steps until you locate the active COM port.
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.
•Locate the Serial Options dialog in the Dynamic C Options > Project Options > Communica-
tions menu. Choose a lower debug baud rate.
If there are any other problems:
•Use the Dynamic C Help menu to get further assistance with Dynamic C.
•Check the Rabbit Semiconductor Technical Bulletin Board at www.rabbit.com/support/bb/.
•Use the Technical Support e-mail form at www.rabbit.com/support/.
NOTE: If you purchased your RCM3000 Development Kit through a distributor or through a
Rabbit Semiconductor partner, contact the distributor or partner first for technical support.
Installing Dynamic C®
Insert the CD from the Development Kit in your PC’s CD-ROM drive. If the instal-
lation does not auto-start, run the setup.exe program in the root directory of the
Dynamic C CD. Install any Dynamic C modules after you install Dynamic C.

Hardware Connections
Attach Module to Prototyping Board
Turn the RCM3010 module so that the Ethernet connector end of the module extends off the Prototyp-
ing Board, as shown in Figure 1 below. Align the pins from headers J1 and J2 on the bottom side of
the module into header sockets RCM2JA and RCM2JB on the Prototyping Board (these sockets were
labeled J12 and J13 on earlier versions of the Prototyping Board).
Figure 1. Install the RCM3010 Module on the Prototyping Board
Although you can install a single module into either the MASTER or the SLAVE position on the Proto-
typing Board, all the Prototyping Board features (switches, LEDs, serial port drivers, etc.) are con-
nected to the MASTER position — install a single module in the MASTER position.
NOTE: It is important that you line up the pins on headers J1 and J2 of the RCM3010 module
exactly with the corresponding header sockets RCM2JA and RCM2JB on the Prototyping
Board. The header pins may become bent or damaged if the pin alignment is offset, and the
module will not work. Permanent electrical damage to the module may also result if a mis-
aligned module is powered up.
Press the module’s pins firmly into the Prototyping Board header sockets—press down in the area
above the header pins using your thumbs or fingers over the connectors as shown in Figure 1. Do not
press down on the middle of the RCM3010 module to avoid flexing the module, which could damage
the module or the components on the module.
Should you need to remove the RCM3010 module, grasp it with your fingers along the sides by the
connectors and gently work the module up to pull the pins away from the sockets where they are
installed. Do not remove the module by grasping it at the top and bottom.
Connect Programming Cable
The programming cable connects the RCM3010 to the PC running Dynamic C to download programs
and to monitor the RCM3010 module during debugging.
Connect the 10-pin connector of the programming cable labeled PROG to header J3 on the RCM3010
as shown in Figure 2. Be sure to orient the marked (usually red) edge of the cable towards pin 1 of the
connector. (Do not use the DIAG connector, which is used for a normal serial connection.)

Figure 2. Connect Programming Cable and Power Supply
NOTE: Be sure to use the programming cable (part number 101-0513) supplied with this Devel-
opment Kit—the programming cable has red shrink wrap around the RS-232 converter section
located in the middle of the cable. Programming cables with blue or clear shrink wrap from
other Rabbit Semiconductor kits are not designed to work with RCM3000 modules.
Connect the other end of the programming cable to a COM port on your PC.
NOTE: Some PCs now come equipped only with a USB port. It may be possible to use an
RS-232/USB converter (Part No. 540-0070) with the programming cable supplied with the
RCM3000 Development Kit. Note that not all RS-232/USB converters work with Dynamic C.
Connect Power
Once all the other connections have been made, you can connect power to the Prototyping Board.
Connect the AC adapter to jack J11 on the Prototyping Board as shown in Figure 2 above.
Plug in the AC adapter. The POWER LED on the Prototyping Board should light up. The RCM3010
and the Prototyping Board are now ready to be used.
NOTE: A RESET button is provided on the Prototyping Board to allow a hardware reset without
disconnecting power.
Alternate Power-Supply Connections
Development kits sold outside North America include a header connector that may be used to connect
your power supply to 3-pin header J9 on the Prototyping Board. The connector may be attached either
way as long as it is not offset to one side—the center pin of J9 is always connected to the positive ter-
minal, and either edge pin is ground. The power supply should deliver 8 V–24 V DC at 8 W.
