1. INTRODUCTION
This chapter introduces the RabbitLink Network Programming Gateway and describes its features.
Rabbit-based embedded systems are normally programmed using a direct connection between a
PC and the programming port of a Rabbit-based embedded system. The RabbitLink provides an
indirect connection between the two for remote downloading and debugging.
