3. RUNNING SAMPLE PROGRAMS
To develop and debug programs for the RCM2000 (and for all
other Rabbit hardware), you must install and use Dynamic C.
Dynamic C is an integrated development system for writing
embedded software. It runs on an IBM-compatible PC and is
designed for use with Rabbit single-board computers and other
single-board computers based on the Rabbit microprocessor.
Chapter 3 provides the sample programs related to the RCM2000.
3.1 Sample Programs
To help familiarize you with the RCM2000 modules, Dynamic C includes several sample
programs in the Dynamic C SAMPLES\RCM2000 directory. Loading, executing and study-
ing these programs will give you a solid hands-on overview of the RCM2000’s
capabilities, as well as a quick start with Dynamic C as an application development tool.
These programs are intended to serve as tutorials, but then can also be used as starting
points or building blocks for your own applications.
NOTE: It is assumed in this section that you have at least an elementary grasp of ANSI C.
If you do not, see the introductory pages of the Dynamic C User’s Manual for a sug-
gested reading list.
Each sample program has comments that describe the purpose and function of the program.
Before running any of these sample program, make sure that your RCM2000 is connected
To run a sample program, open it with the File menu (if it is not already open), then com-
pile and run it by pressing F9 or by selecting Run in the Run menu.
Complete information on Dynamic C is provided in the Dynamic C User’s Manual.
