RabbitCore RCM4400W
There are two LEDs close to the RP-SMA antenna connector at J3, a green LED at DS1
(
LINK
) to indicate association with the Wi-Fi access point, and a yellow LED at DS2
(
ACT
) to indicate activity.
An RG316 coaxial cable may be used to extend the antenna up to 30 cm (1 ft). This coaxial
cable has an impedance of 50
Ω
and experiences 1.65 dB/m signal loss at 2.4 GHz.
4.2.3 Programming Port
The RCM4400W is programmed via the 10-pin header labeled J2. The programming port
uses the Rabbit 4000’s Serial Port A for communication. Dynamic C uses the programming
port to download and debug programs.
Serial Port A is also used for the following operations.
•
Cold-boot the Rabbit 4000 on the RCM4400W after a reset.
•
Fast copy designated portions of flash memory from one Rabbit-based board (the
master) to another (the slave) using the Rabbit Cloning Board.
Alternate Uses of the Programming Port
All three Serial Port A signals are available as
•
a synchronous serial port
•
an asynchronous serial port, with the clock line usable as a general CMOS I/O pin
The programming port may also be used as a serial port via the
DIAG
connector on the
programming cable.
In addition to Serial Port A, the Rabbit 4000 startup-mode (SMODE0, SMODE1),
STATUS, and reset pins are available on the programming port.
The two startup-mode pins determine what happens after a reset—the Rabbit 4000 is
either cold-booted or the program begins executing at address 0x0000.
The status pin is used by Dynamic C to determine whether a Rabbit microprocessor is
present. The status output has three different programmable functions:
1. It can be driven low on the first op code fetch cycle.
2. It can be driven low during an interrupt acknowledge cycle.
3. It can also serve as a general-purpose output once a program has been downloaded and
is running.
The reset pin is an external input that is used to reset the Rabbit 4000.

Rabbit 4000 Microprocessor User’s Manual
