RIO Programmable I/O Kit

The RIO Programmable I/O Kit is intended to demonstrate how to expand an embedded control system

design by adding additional I/O and other features. The Kit provides a Prototyping Board with a Rabbit

RIO chip already installed and configurable header locations to allow you to develop your own appli-

cation using the Dynamic C function calls and sample programs included with the Kit.

Application Kit Contents

The RIO Programmable I/O Kit contains the following items:

•2 CD-ROMs — Dynamic C®with complete product documentation on disk, and supplemental CD with

sample programs and information related to the RIO Programmable I/O Kit.

•RCM4110 module.

•Rabbit RIO Prototyping Board.

•Universal AC adapter, 12 V DC, 1 A (includes Canada/Japan/U.S., Australia/N.Z., U.K., and

European style plugs).

•10-pin header to DB9 programming cable with integrated level-matching circuitry.

•Getting Started instructions.

•Plastic and metal standoffs with 4-40 screws.

•A bag of jumpers and jumper wires for use on the

Prototyping Board.

•Rabbit 4000 Processor Easy Reference poster.

•Registration card.

Visit our online Rabbit store at www.rabbit.com/store/ for

the latest information on peripherals and accessories that

are available for the Rabbit RIO chip.

Starting Dynamic C

Once the RCM4110 is connected as described in the preceding pages, start Dynamic C by double-clicking on

the Dynamic C icon on your desktop or in your Start menu. Dynamic C uses the serial port specified during

installation.

If you are using a USB port to connect your computer to the RCM4110, choose Options > Project

Options and check “Use USB to Serial Converter” in “Serial Options.” Click OK to save the settings.

Run a Sample Program

Use the File menu to open the sample program ROTATELED.C in the Dynamic C SAMPLES\RIO folder.

Press function key F9 to compile and run the program.The four LEDs on the Prototyping Board will flash on

and off in a rotating sequence, and the Dynamic C STDIO window will open on your PC to display the status

of the Rabbit RIO chip’s Channel 1.

This sample program uses Channel 1 with the Rabbit RIO chip operating in the SPI clocked serial communi-

cation mode. The Rabbit RIO Chip User's Manual describes the communication modes in more detail.

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. Application Note AN415, RIO Programmable I/O Kit, discusses how to use the Prototyp-

ing Board and explains the sample programs and Rabbit RIO function calls. The source code for the sample

programs is provided to allow you to modify them for your own use. The RCM4100 User's Manual on the

Dynamic C CD also provides complete hardware reference information and describes the software function

calls for the RCM4110 RabbitCore module, and the Rabbit RIO User's Manual provides complete reference

information for the Rabbit RIO chip.

Troubleshooting

If Dynamic C cannot find the target system (error message "No Rabbit Processor Detected."):

•Check that the RCM4110 is powered correctly — the red power LED on the Prototyping Board should be

lit when the RCM4110 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 RCM4110.

•Ensure that the RCM4110 module is firmly and correctly installed in its socket on the Prototyping Board.

If there are no faults with the hardware, select a different COM port within Dynamic C. On your computer,

open Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Ports and look at the list of available

COM ports. In Dynamic C, select Options > Project Options, then select one of the available COM ports

on the “Communications” tab, 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 system, repeat the above steps for another available

COM port. You should receive a Bios compiled successfully message once this step is com-

pleted successfully.

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 RIO Programmable I/O 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 RIO Programmable

I/O Kit in your PC’s CD-ROM drive. If the

installation 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

1. Prepare the Prototyping Board for

Development

Snap in four of the plastic standoffs supplied in the bag

of accessory parts from the RIO Programmable I/O Kit

in the holes at the corners as shown.

2. Attach Module to Prototyping Board

Turn the RCM4110 module so that the mounting holes

of the RCM4110 line up with the corresponding holes

on the Prototyping Board. Insert the metal standoffs as shown in Figure 2, secure them from the bottom of

the Prototyping Board using the 4-40 × 3/16 screws, then insert the module’s header J3 on the bottom side

into header socket RCM1 on the Prototyping Board.

Figure 2. Install the RCM4110 Module on the Prototyping Board

NOTE: It is important that you line up the pins on header J3 of the RCM4110 module exactly with

socket RCM1 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 misaligned module is powered up.

Press the module’s pins gently into the Prototyping Board header socket—press down in the area above

the header pins. For additional integrity, you may secure the RCM4110 to the standoffs from the top

using the remaining two 4-40 × 3/16 screws.

3. Set Jumpers

Jumpers were placed at the factory on Prototyping Board headers J2, J7, J8, J9, and J15 as shown in Figure 3

to set up the Prototyping Board for the SPI serial mode used with the sample programs. Application Note

AN415, RIO Programmable I/O Kit, describes other configuration options.

4. Connect Programming Cable

The programming cable connects the RCM4110 to the PC running Dynamic C to download programs

and to monitor the RCM4110 module during debugging.

Connect the 10-pin connector of the programming cable labeled PROG to header J1 on the RCM4110

as shown in Figure 3. 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 to Serial Port A.)

Figure 3. Prototyping Board and Programming Cable Setup

NOTE: Be sure to use the programming cable (part number 101-0542) supplied with the RIO

Programmable I/O Kit—the programming cable has blue shrink wrap around the RS-232 con-

verter section located in the middle of the cable. Programming cables with red or clear shrink

wrap from other Rabbit Semiconductor kits are not designed to work with RCM4110 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 RIO Pro-

grammable I/O Kit. Note that not all RS-232/USB converters work with Dynamic C.

5. Connect Power

Once all the other connections have been made, you can connect power to the Prototyping Board.

First, prepare the AC adapter for the country where it will be used by selecting the appropriate plug.

The RIO Programmable I/O Kit presently includes Canada/Japan/U.S., Australia/N.Z., U.K., and

European style plugs. Snap in the top of the plug assembly into the slot at the top of the AC adapter as

shown in Figure 3, then press down on the plug until it clicks into place.

Connect the AC adapter to 3-pin header J1 on the Prototyping Board as shown in Figure 3 above. The

connector may be attached either way as long as it is not offset to one side—the center pin of J1 is

always connected to the positive terminal, and either edge pin is ground.

Plug in the AC adapter. The power LED on the Prototyping Board above the power connector at J1

should light up. The RCM4110 and the Prototyping Board are now ready to be used.

NOTE: If you need to reset the RCM4110, disconnect, then reconnect the power supply.
