4 RabbitCore RCM3100
1.3 Development Software
The RCM3100 module uses the Dynamic C development environment for rapid creation
and debugging of runtime applications. Dynamic C provides a complete development
environment with integrated editor, compiler and debugger. It interfaces directly with the
target system, eliminating the need for complex and unreliable in-circuit emulators.
Dynamic C must be installed on a Windows workstation with at least one free serial USB
or COM port for communication with the target system.
NOTE: An RS-232/USB converter is required if you intend to use a USB port on your
computer. Z-World and Rabbit Semiconductor offer a suitable converter—more infor-
mation is available at www.rabbitsemiconductor.com, or you may telephone your
Z-World/Rabbit Semiconductor sales representative or authorized distributor.
See Chapter 3., “Software Installation & Overview,” for complete information on install-
ing Dynamic C.
NOTE: The RCM3100 module requires Dynamic C v7.25 or later for development. A
compatible version is included on the Development Kit CD-ROM.
1.4 How to Use This Manual
This Getting Started manual is intended to give users a quick but solid start with the
RCM3100 series modules. It does not contain detailed information on the module hard-
ware capabilities or the Dynamic C development environment. Most users will want more
