Hardware Connections
Step 1 — Prepare the Prototyping Board
To facilitate handling the Prototyping Board, snap in the
four standoffs to the four holes at the corners from the
bottom side of the Prototyping Board as shown in
Figure 1.
NOTE:
The hole at the bottom left of the Prototyping
Board is used to mount the RCM4300, so use the
hole immediately above it for the standoff.
Step 2 — Insert the miniSD™ Card
Insert the
miniSD™ Card
.into the
miniSD
Card holder on
the RCM4300. The card is designed to fit easily only one way — do
not
bend
the card or force it into the slot.You will sense a soft click once the card is
inserted completely.
Step 3 — Attach RCM4300 Module to Prototyping Board
Step 4 — Connect Programming Cable
The programming cable connects the RCM4300 to the PC running Dynamic C to download programs and to mon-
itor the RCM4300 module during debugging.
Connect the 10-pin connector of the programming cable labeled
PROG
to header J1 on the RCM4300 as shown in
Figure 3. Be sure to orient the marked (usually red) edge of the cable towards pin 1 of the connector. (Do not use
the
DIAG
connector,
which is presently not supported by the RCM4300
.)
Turn the RCM4300 module so that the
mounting holes line up with the correspond-
ing holes on the Prototyping Board. Insert
the metal standoffs as shown in Figure 2,
secure them from the bottom using the three
screws and washers, then insert the module’s
header J4 on the bottom side into socket
RCM1 on the Prototyping Board.
NOTE:
It is important that you line up the
pins on header J4 of the module
exactly with socket RCM1 on the Pro-
totyping Board. The header pins may
become bent or damaged if the pin
alignment is offset, and the module
will not work. Permanent electrical
damage to the module may also result
if a misaligned module is powered up.
Press the module’s pins firmly into the Proto-
typing Board socket—press down in the area
above the header pins. For additional integ-
rity, you may secure the RCM4300 to the
standoffs from the top using the remaining
three screws and washers.

Figure 3. Connect Programming Cable and Power Supply
Connect the other end of the programming cable to an available USB port on your PC or workstation.
Your PC should recognize the new USB hardware, and the LEDs in the shrink-wrapped area of the USB
programming cable will flash — if you get an error message, you will have to install USB drivers. Drivers
for Windows XP are available in the Dynamic C
Drivers\Rabbit USB Programming Cable\
WinXP_2K
folder — double-click
DPInst.exe
to install the USB drivers. Drivers for other operating
systems are available online at
www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
.
Step 5 — Connect Power
Once all the other connections have been made, you can connect power to the Prototyping Board.
First, prepare the AC adapter for the country where it will be used by selecting the plug. The RCM4300
Development Kit presently includes Canada/Japan/U.S., Australia/N.Z., U.K., and European style plugs.
Snap in the top of the plug assembly into the slot at the top of the AC adapter as shown in Figure 3, then
press down on the spring-loaded clip below the plug assembly to allow the plug assembly to click into
place. Release the clip to secure the plug assembly in the AC adapter.
Connect the AC adapter to 3-pin header J1 on the Prototyping Board as shown in Figure 3. The connector
may be attached either way as long as it is not offset to one side—the center pin of J1 is always connected
to the positive terminal, and either edge pin is ground.
Plug in the AC adapter. The
PWR
LED on the Prototyping Board next to the power connector at J1 should
light up. The RCM4300 and the Prototyping Board are now ready to be used.
NOTE:
A
RESET
button is provided on the Prototyping Board next to the battery holder to allow
a hardware reset without disconnecting power.
