MiniCore RCM5700/RCM6700 User’s Manual rabbit.com 11
2. GETTING STARTED
This chapter describes the RCM5700/RCM6700 hardware in more
detail, and explains how to set up and use the accompanying Interface
Board.
NOTE: This chapter (and this manual) assume that you have the RCM5700/RCM6700 Develop-
ment Kit. If you purchased an MiniCore module by itself, you will have to adapt the information
in this chapter and elsewhere to your test and development setup.
2.1 Install Dynamic C
Dynamic C must be installed to develop and debug programs for the RCM5700/RCM6700 series
of modules (and for all other Rabbit hardware). The latest version of Dynamic C is included on
CD in the Development Kit and is also available for download at www.rabbit.com.
If you have not yet installed Dynamic C, do so now by inserting the Dynamic C CD from the
Development Kit in your PC’s CD-ROM drive. If autorun is enabled, the CD installation will
begin automatically.
If autorun is disabled or the installation does not start, use the Windows Start | Run menu or Win-
dows Disk Explorer to launch setup.exe from the root folder of the CD-ROM.
The installation program will guide you through the installation process. Most steps of the process
are self-explanatory.
Once your installation is complete, you will have up to three new icons on your PC desktop. One
icon is for Dynamic C, another 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
folder where Dynamic C was installed.
