2–6 Hardware Setup RabbitCore RCM2200
IMPORTANT! It is important that you
line up the pins of the RabbitCore
module headers J4 and J5 exactly
with the corresponding pins of
headers J1 and J2 on the Prototyp-
ing 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 firmly into the Prototyping
Board headers. The installed module is shown in
Figure 2–4.
2.3.2 Connect Programming Cable
The programming cable connects the RabbitCore
module to the PC workstation running Dynamic C,
to permit download of programs and monitoring for
debugging.
Connect the 10-pin connector of the programming
cable labeled PROG to header J1 on the Rabbit-
Core RCM2200 module as shown in Figure 2–5. 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.)
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 needs
to have this parameter configured when it is
installed.
NOTE: COM 1 is the default port used
by Dynamic C.
2.3.3 Connect Ethernet Network Cable
Programming and development can be done with
the RabbitCore RCM2200 without connecting the
Ethernet port to a network. However, if you will be
running the sample programs that use the Ethernet
capability or will be doing Ethernet-enabled devel-
opment, you should connect the RabbitCore mod-
ule’s Ethernet port at this time.
There are four options for connecting the Rabbit-
Core module to a network for development and
Figure 2–5: Attaching the programming cable to the RabbitCore module.
Note that the stripe on the cable is towards pin 1 of the header J5.
