2.2 BL2600 Connections
1. Connect the programming cable to download programs from your PC and to program
and debug the BL2600.
NOTE: Use only the programming cable that has a blue shrink wrap around the RS-232
level converter (Z-World part number 101-0542). If you are using a BL2610, which is
based on the RCM3000, you will need the programming cable that has a red shrink
wrap around the RS-232 level converter (Z-World part number 101-0513). Other
Z-World programming cables might not be voltage-compatible or their connector sizes
may be different.
Connect the 10-pin PROG connector of the programming cable to header J1 on the
BL2600’s RabbitCore module (header J3 for the BL2610 RabbitCore module). Ensure
that the colored edge lines up with pin 1 as shown. (Do not use the DIAG connector, which
is used for monitoring only.) Connect the other end of the programming cable to a COM
port on your PC. Make a note of the port to which you connect the cable, as Dynamic C
will need to have this parameter configured. Note that COM1 on the PC is the default
COM port used by Dynamic C.
Figure 3. Programming Cable Connections
NOTE: Some PCs now come equipped only with a USB port. It may be possible to use
an RS-232/USB converter (Z-World Part No. 540-0070) with the programming cables
mentioned above.

2.3 Installing Dynamic C
If you have not yet installed Dynamic C version 8.51 (or a later version), do so now by
inserting the Dynamic C CD from the BL2600 Tool Kit in your PC’s CD-ROM drive. The
CD will auto-install unless you have disabled auto-install on your PC.
If the CD does not auto-install, click Start > Run from the Windows Start button and
browse for the Dynamic C setup.exe file on your CD drive. Click OK to begin the
installation once you have selected the setup.exe file.
The online documentation is installed along with Dynamic C, and an icon for the docu-
mentation menu is placed on the workstation’s desktop. Double-click this icon to reach the
menu. If the icon is missing, create a new desktop icon that points to default.htm in the
docs folder, found in the Dynamic C installation folder.
The latest versions of all documents are always available for free, unregistered download
from our Web sites as well.
The Dynamic C User’s Manual provides detailed instructions for the installation of
Dynamic C and any future upgrades.
NOTE: If you have an earlier version of Dynamic C already installed, the default instal-
lation of the later version will be in a different folder, and a separate icon will appear on
your desktop.
Once your installation is complete, you will have up to three icons on your PC desktop.
One icon is for Dynamic C, one opens the documentation menu, and the third is for the
Rabbit Field Utility, a tool used to download precompiled software to a target system.
If you have purchased any of the optional Dynamic C modules, install them after installing
Dynamic C. The modules may be installed in any order. You must install the modules in
the same directory where Dynamic C was installed.

User’s Manual 9
2.4 Starting Dynamic C
Once the BL2600 is connected to your PC and to a power source, start Dynamic C by double-
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 No Rabbit Processor Detected, the programming
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
that it is firmly plugged into the PC and the programming port.
If there are no faults with the hardware, select a different COM port within Dynamic C.
From the Options menu, 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 system, repeat the above steps until you locate the
active COM port. You should receive a Bios compiled successfully message
once this step is completed successfully.
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 dialog in the Dynamic C Options > Communications
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 dialog in the Dynamic C Options > Communications
menu. Choose a lower debug baud rate.

10 Wolf (BL2600)
2.5 PONG.C
You are now ready to test your set-up by running a sample program.
Find the file PONG.C, which is in the Dynamic C SAMPLES folder. To run the program,
open it with the File menu (if it is not still open), compile it using the Compile menu, and
then run it by selecting Run in the Run menu. The STDIO window will open and will dis-
play a small square bouncing around in a box.
This program shows that the CPU is working. The sample program described in
Section 5.2.3, “Run the PINGME.C Demo,” tests the TCP/IP portion of the board.
2.6 Where Do I Go From Here?
NOTE: If you purchased your BL2600 through a distributor or Z-World partner, contact
the distributor or Z-World partner first for technical support.
If there are any problems at this point:
•Check the Z-World Technical Bulletin Board at www.zworld.com/support/bb/.
•Use the Technical Support e-mail form at www.zworld.com/support/.
If the sample program ran fine, you are now ready to go on to explore other BL2600 fea-
tures and develop your own applications.
Chapter 3, “Subsystems,” provides a description of the BL2600’s features, Chapter 4,
“Software,” describes the Dynamic C software libraries and introduces some sample pro-
grams, and Chapter 5, “Using the TCP/IP Features,” explains the TCP/IP features.
2.6.1 Real-Time Clock
If you plan to use the real-time clock functionality in your application, you will need to set
the real-time clock. You may set the real-time clock using the SETRTCKB.C sample pro-
gram from the Dynamic C SAMPLES\RTCLOCK folder. The RTC_TEST.C sample pro-
gram in the Dynamic C SAMPLES\RTCLOCK folder provides additional examples of how
to read and set the real-time clock

3.2 Digital I/O
3.2.1 Digital Inputs
The BL2600 has 16 digital inputs, DIN16–DIN31, each of which is protected over a range
of –36 V to +36 V. The inputs are factory-configured to be pulled up to +5 V, but they can
also be pulled up to +K or DCIN, or pulled down to 0 V in banks by changing a jumper as
shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7. BL2600 Digital Inputs DIN16–DIN31 [Pulled Up—Factory Default]
Table 2 lists the banks of digital inputs and summarizes the jumper settings.
When you use the software digIn function call to read the digital inputs, DIN16–DIN31
are considered to be digital input channels 16–31.

User’s Manual 15
The actual switching threshold is approximately
1.40 V. Anything below this value is a logic 0,
and anything above is a logic 1. The digital inputs
are each fully protected over a range of -36 V to
+36 V, and can handle short spikes of ±40 V.
NOTE: If the inputs are pulled up to +K or
to DCIN, the voltage range over which
the digital inputs are protected changes
to +K (or DCIN) – 36 V to +36 V.
Individual DIN16–DIN23 channels may be used
for interrupts, input capture, as quadrature decod-
ers, or as PWM outputs.
The use of these channels for interrupts, input
capture, and as quadrature decoders is described
in the Rabbit 3000 Microprocessor User’s Manual,
and is illustrated through sample programs in the
Dynamic C SAMPLES\RABBIT3000 folder. Table 3 lists these alternate uses.
3.2.2 PWM Outputs
Digital inputs DIN20–DIN23 can be used as PWM output channels by setting the jumper
on header JP4 across pins 7–8 to pull the digital inputs to ground. Once the PWM driver
sets up a given PWM channel, the corresponding digital input channel is no longer avail-
able for use as a digital input. The output voltage swing will be 0 to 2.5 V, which is suitable
for interfacing only to CMOS-level inputs. Since the output impedance is approximately
27 kΩ, the input impedance of the circuit the PWM output is connected to should be at
least 10 times as high.
The sample program PWM.C in the IO subdirectory in SAMPLES\BL2600 shows how to
set up and use the PWM outputs.

3.2.3 High-Current Digital Outputs
The BL2600 has four high-current digital outputs, HOUT0–HOUT3, which can each sink
or source up to 2 A. Figure 9 shows a wiring diagram for using the digital outputs in either
a sinking or a souring configuration.
Figure 9. BL2600 High-Current Digital Outputs
All the digital outputs sink and source actively. They can be used as high-side drivers, low-
side drivers, or as an H-bridge driver. When the BL2600 is first powered up or reset, all
the outputs are disabled, that is, at a high-impedance tristate, until the digHoutConfig
software function call is made. The digHoutConfig call sets the initial state of each
high-current output according to the configuration specified by the user, and enables the
digital outputs to their initial status.
