1. OVERVIEW
The RCM2000 series of RabbitCore modules is an advanced
line of modules that incorporates the powerful Rabbit

microprocessor, flash memory, and static RAM, all on a PCB
not much larger than the size of a business card.
Throughout this manual, the term RCM2000 refers to the complete series of RCM2000
RabbitCore modules unless other production models are referred to specifically.
The RCM2000 modules are designed for use on a motherboard that supplies power and
interfaces with real-world I/O devices. Up to 40 pins of I/O and four serial ports are avail-
able for system interfacing.
To accommodate a variety of user and production needs, the RCM2000 family includes
versions with varying amounts of onboard memory. All modules within the family are pin-
for-pin compatible and may be installed or swapped in a matter of minutes.
