3. RUNNING SAMPLE PROGRAMS
To develop and debug programs for the RCM3600 (and for all
other Rabbit Semiconductor hardware), you must install and use
Dynamic C.
3.1 Introduction
To help familiarize you with the RCM3600 modules, Dynamic C includes several sample
programs. Loading, executing and studying these programs will give you a solid hands-on
overview of the RCM3600’s capabilities, as well as a quick start with Dynamic C as an
application development tool.
NOTE: The sample programs assume that you have at least an elementary grasp of the C
programming language. If you do not, see the introductory pages of the Dynamic C
User’s Manual for a suggested reading list.
In order to run the sample programs discussed in this chapter and elsewhere in this manual,
1. Your RCM3600 must be plugged in to the Prototyping Board as described in
Chapter 2,2. Dynamic C must be installed and running on your PC.
3. The programming cable must connect the programming header (J2) on the RCM3600
to your PC.
4. Power must be applied to the RCM3600 through the Prototyping Board.
To run a sample program, open it with the File menu, then compile and run it by pressing
F9
or by selecting Run in the Run menu. The RCM3600 must be in Program Mode (see
Figure 8) and must be connected to a PC using the programming cable.
Complete information on Dynamic C is provided in the Dynamic C User’s Manual.
