RabbitCore RCM2300
Although you can install a single module into either the MASTER or the SLAVE position
on the Prototyping Board, all the Prototyping Board features (switches, LEDs, serial port
drivers, etc.) are connected to the MASTER position. We recommend you install a single
module in the MASTER position.
NOTE: It is important that you line up the pins on headers J4 and J5 of the RCM2300
exactly with the corresponding pins of headers J1 and J2 on the Prototyping 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 mis-
aligned module is powered up.
Press the module’s pins firmly into the Prototyping Board headers.
2.3.2 Connect Programming Cable
The programming cable connects the RCM2300 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 RabbitCore RCM2300 module as shown in
Figure 5. Be sure to orient the marked
(usually red) edge of the cable towards pin 1 of the connector. (Do not use the DIAG con-
nector, which is used for a normal serial connection.)
Connect the other end of the pro-
gramming 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 param-
eter configured when it is installed.
NOTE: COM 1 is the default
port used by Dynamic C.
