10 RabbitCore RCM2200
Although you can install a single module into either the
MASTER
or the
SLAVE
position
on the Prototyping Board, all the Prototyping Board features (switches, LEDs, serial port
drivers, etc.) are connected to the
MASTER
position. We recommend you install a single
module in the
MASTER
position.
NOTE: It is important that you line up the pins on headers J4 and J5 of the RCM2200
exactly with the corresponding pins of headers J1 and J2 on the Prototyping 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 mis-
aligned module is powered up.
Press the module’s pins firmly into the Prototyping Board headers.
2.3.2 Connect Programming Cable
The programming cable connects the RCM2200 module to the PC running Dynamic C to
download programs and to monitor the RCM2200 for debugging.
Connect the 10-pin connector of
the programming cable labeled
PROG
to header J1 on the
RCM2200 module as shown in
Figure 5. Be sure to orient the
marked (usually red) edge of the
cable towards pin 1 of the connec-
tor. (Do not use the
DIAG connec-
tor, which is used for a normal
serial connection.)
Connect the other end of the pro-
gramming cable to a COM port on
your PC. Make a note of the port to
which you connect the cable, as
Dynamic C needs to have this
parameter configured when it is
installed.
NOTE: COM 1 is the default
port used by Dynamic C.
