The Rabbit 3000
®
is a modern 8-bit microprocessor that is the
central element of a complete and fully supported embedded
design system that includes development tools, software libraries,
core modules, sample designs, a parts store, and readily available
expert, human support.
This Development Kit has the essentials that you need to design
your own microprocessor-based system, and includes a complete
Dynamic C
®
software development system. This Development
Kit contains a powerful RabbitCore™ module (the RCM3010)
and Prototyping Board that will allow you to evaluate the Rabbit
3000 and to prototype circuits that interface to a Rabbit 3000
microprocessor. You will also be able to write and test software
for the RCM3000 series RabbitCore modules, including TCP/IP
applications.
1.1 Rabbit 3000 Microprocessor
The Rabbit 3000 microprocessor shares its instruction set and conceptual design with the
successful Rabbit 2000. The instruction set is based on the Z80/Z180, but has been
adapted to be C-friendly and to allow a megabyte of code space. Rabbit processors are fast
with compact code.
The Rabbit 3000 has an extensive array of on-chip peripherals including 6 serial ports, 56
parallel I/O pins, motion control interfaces, a time/date clock, glueless memory and I/O
interfacing, a slave interface, and in-circuit programming. Low-EMI features including a
clock spectrum spreader eliminate schedule-wrecking EMI problems.
Software development support is based on Z-World’s Dynamic C, and includes extensive
libraries for Internet connectivity.
Refer to the
Rabbit 3000 Microprocessor User’s Manual
for complete information on the
Rabbit 3000 microprocessor and complete specifications.
