1.4 Development and Evaluation Tools
1.4.1 Tool Kit
A Tool Kit contains the hardware essentials you will need to develop applications with the
LP3500 single-board computer. The items in the Tool Kit and their use are as follows.
•
LP3500 Getting Started instructions.
•
Dynamic C CD-ROM, with complete product documentation on disk.
•
Programming cable, used to connect your PC serial port to the LP3500.
•
Universal AC adapter, 12 V DC, 1 A (includes Canada/Japan/U.S., Australia/N.Z.,
U.K., and European style plugs). If you are using another power supply, it must provide
3 to 30 V DC.
•
Prototyping Board with pushbutton switches, LEDs, and screw-terminal headers. The
Prototyping Board can be hooked up to the LP3500 to demonstrate the I/O capabilities
of the LP3500 and to provide a prototyping area for you to develop your own add-on
circuits. The screw-terminal headers extend the LP3500’s headers for development, and
can also be used in a production environment.
•
Plastic enclosure with four screws.
•
Four standoffs with mounting screws.
•
Screwdriver.
•
Rabbit 3000 Processor Easy Reference poster.
•

The LP3500 is a low-power single-board computer designed to operate reliably virtually any place it
is deployed, especially where power is limited. These Getting Started instructions included with the
Tool Kit will help you get your LP3500 up and running so that you can run the sample programs to
explore its capabilities and develop your own applications.

Step 1 — Install Dynamic C
®
Before doing any development, you must install Dynamic C. Insert the CD from the Development Kit in
your PC’s CD-ROM drive. If the installation does not auto-start, run the
setup.exe
program in the root
directory of the Dynamic C CD. Install any Dynamic C modules after you install Dynamic C .
