This chapter describes the RCM2100 hardware in more detail,
and explains how to set up and use the accompanying prototyp-
ing and development board.

NOTE:

This chapter (and this manual) assume that you have the RabbitCore RCM2100

Development Kit. If you purchased an RCM2100 module by itself, you will have to
adapt the information in this chapter and elsewhere to your test and development setup.

2.1 Development Kit Contents

The RCM2100 Development Kit contains the following items:

•

RCM2100 module with Ethernet port, 512K flash memory and 512K SRAM.

•

RCM2100 Prototyping Board with accessory hardware and components.

•

Wall transformer power supply, 12 V DC, 1 A. (Included only with Development Kits
sold for the North American market. Overseas users will have to substitute a power
supply compatible with their local mains power.)

•

10-pin header to DE9 programming cable with integrated level-matching circuitry.

•

Dynamic C

CD-ROM, with complete product documentation on disk.
