2.2 BL2600 Connections
1. Connect the programming cable to download programs from your PC and to program
and debug the BL2600.
NOTE: Use only the programming cable that has a blue shrink wrap around the RS-232
level converter (Z-World part number 101-0542). If you are using a BL2610, which is
based on the RCM3000, you will need the programming cable that has a red shrink
wrap around the RS-232 level converter (Z-World part number 101-0513). Other
Z-World programming cables might not be voltage-compatible or their connector sizes
may be different.
Connect the 10-pin PROG connector of the programming cable to header J1 on the
BL2600’s RabbitCore module (header J3 for the BL2610 RabbitCore module). Ensure
that the colored edge lines up with pin 1 as shown. (Do n o t use t h e DIAG connector, which
is used for monitoring only.) Connect the other end of the programming cable to a COM
port on your PC. Make a note of the port to which you connect the cable, as Dynamic C
will need to have this parameter configured. Note that COM1 on the PC is the default
COM port used by Dynamic C.
Figure 3. Programming Cable Connections
NOTE: Some PCs now come equipped only with a USB port. It may be possible to use
an RS-232/USB converter (Z-World Part No. 540-0070) with the programming cables
mentioned above.

2.3 Installing Dynamic C
If you have not yet installed Dynamic C version 8.51 (or a later version), do so now by
inserting the Dynamic C CD from the BL2600 T ool Kit in your PC’s CD-ROM drive. The
CD will auto-install unless you have disabled auto-install on your PC.
If the CD does not auto-install, click
Start > Run from the Windows Start button and
browse for the Dynamic C setup.exe file on your CD drive. Click OK to begin the
installation once you have selected the
setup.exe file.
The online documentation is installed along with Dynamic C, and an icon for the documentation menu is placed on the workstation’s desktop. Double-click this icon to reach the
menu. If the icon is missing, create a new desktop icon that points to
default.htm in the
docs folder, found in the Dynamic C installation folder.
The latest versions of all documents are always available for free, unregistered download
from our Web sites as well.
The Dynamic C User’s Manual provides detailed instructions for the installation of
Dynamic C and any future upgrades.
NOTE: If you have an earlier version of Dynamic C already installed, the default instal-
lation of the la te r ver sion wi ll b e in a different fold er, and a sep arate icon will appear on
your desktop.
Once your installation is complete, you will have up to three icons on your PC desktop.
One icon is for Dynamic C, one opens the documentation menu, and the third is for the
Rabbit Field Utility, a tool used to download precompiled software to a target system.
If you have purchased any of the optional Dynamic C modules, install them after installing
Dynamic C. The modules may be installed in any order. You must install the modules in
the same directory where Dynamic C was installed.
Page 13
User’s Manual 9
2.4 St arting Dynamic C
Once the BL2600 is connected to your PC and to a power s ource, s ta rt Dyn ami c C by double-
clicking on the Dynamic C icon or by double-clicking on dcrabXXXX.exe in the Dynami c C
root directory, where XXXX are version-specific characters.
Dynamic C defaults to using the serial port on your PC that you specified during installation. If the port setting is correct, Dynamic C should detect the BL2600 and go through a
sequence of steps to cold-boot the BL2600 and to compile the BIOS. (Some versions of
Dynamic C will not do the initial BIOS compile and load until the firs t time you compile a
program.)
If you receive the message
No Rabbit Processor Detected, the programming
cable may be connected to the wrong COM port, a connection may be faulty, or the target
system may not be powered up. First, check both ends of the programming cable to ensure
that it is firmly plugged into the PC and the programming port.
If there are no faults with the hardware, select a different COM port within Dynamic C.
From the
Options menu, select Communications. Select another COM port from the list,
then click OK. Press <Ctrl-Y> to force Dynamic C to recompile the BIOS. If Dynamic C
still reports it is unable to locate the target system, repeat the above steps until you locate the
active COM port. You should receive a Bios compiled successfully message
once this step is completed successfully.
If Dynamic C appears to compile the BIOS successfully, but you then receive a communication error message when you compile and load a sample program, it is possible that your
PC cannot handle the higher program-loading baud rate. Try changing the maximum
download rate to a slower baud rate as follows.
• Locate the Serial Options dialog in the Dynamic C Options > Communications
menu. Select a slower Max download baud rate.
If a program compiles and loads, but then loses target communication before you can
begin debugging, it is possible that your PC cannot handle the default debugging baud
rate. Try lowering the debugging baud rate as follows.
• Locate the
Serial Options dialog in the Dynamic C Options > Communications
menu. Choose a lower debug baud rate.

2.5 PONG.C
You are now ready to test your set-up by running a sample program.
Find the file
PONG.C, which is in the Dynamic C SAMPLES folder. To run the program,
open it with the
File menu (if it is not still open), compile it using the Compile menu, and
then run it by selecting Run in the Run menu. The STDIO window will open and will display a small square bouncing around in a box.
This program shows that the CPU is working. The sample program described in
Section 5.2.3, “Run the PINGME.C Demo,” tests the TCP/IP portion of the board.
2.6 Where Do I Go From Here?
NOTE: If you purchased your BL2600 through a distributor or Z-World partner, contact
the distributor or Z-World partner first for technical support.
If there are any problems at this point:
• Check the Z-W orld Technical Bulletin Board at www .zworld.com/support/bb/.
• Use the Technical Support e-mail form at www.zworld.com/support/.
If the sample program ran fine, you are now ready to go on to explore other BL2600 features and develop your own applications.
Chapter 3, “Subsystems,” provides a description of the BL2600’s features, Chapter 4,
“Software,” describes the Dynamic C software libraries and introduces some sample programs, and Chapter 5, “Using the TCP/IP Features,” explains the TCP/IP features.
2.6.1 Real-Time Clock
If you plan to use the real-time clock functionality in your application, you will need to set
the real-time clock. You may set the real-time clock using the SETRTCKB.C sample program from the Dynamic C SAMPLES\RTCLOCK folder. The RTC_TEST.C sample program in the Dynamic C SAMPLES\RTCLOCK folder provides additional examples of how
to read and set the real-time clock

3.1 BL2600 Pinouts
The BL2600 pinouts are shown in Figure 6(a) and Figure 6(b).
Figure 6(a). BL2600 Pinouts (friction-lock connectors)
3.1.1 Connector Options
Standard BL2600 models are equipped with two 1 × 20 friction-lock connector terminals
(J1 and J2), two polarized 1 × 9 friction-lock connector terminals (J8 and J15), one 1 × 13
friction-lock connector terminal (J16), and one 1 × 10 friction-lock connector terminal
(J17); all of these friction-lock connector terminals have a 0.1" pitch.
The RJ-45 jacks at J4 and J6 labeled RabbitNet are serial I/O expansion ports for use with
RabbitNet peripheral expansion boards. The
RabbitNet jacks do not support Ethernet con-
nections. Be careful to make your Ethernet connection to the jack labeled
Ethernet in the
above diagram (note that BL2610 models do not have an Ethernet port).

3.2.1 Digital Inputs
The BL2600 has 16 digital inputs, DIN16–DIN31, each of which is protected over a range
of –36 V to +36 V. The inputs are factory-configured to be pulled up to +5 V, but they can
also be pulled up to +K or DCIN, or pulled down to 0 V i n banks by changing a j umper as
shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7. BL2600 Digital Inputs DIN16–DIN31 [Pulled Up—Factory Default]
Table 2 lists the banks of digital inputs and summarizes the jumper settings.
When you use the software digIn function call to read the digital inputs, DIN16–DIN31
are considered to be digital input channels 16–31.

The actual switching threshold is approximately
1.40 V. Anything below this value is a logic 0,
and anything above is a logic 1. The digital inputs
are each fully protected over a range of -36 V to
+36 V, and can handle short spikes of ±40 V.
NOTE: If the inputs are pulled up to +K or
to DCIN, the voltage range over which
the digital inputs are protected changes
to +K (or DCIN) – 36 V to +36 V.
Individual DIN16–DIN23 channels may be used
for interrupts, input capture, as quadrature decoders, or as PWM outputs.
The use of these channels for interrupts, input
capture, and as quadrature decoders is described
in the Rabbit 3000 Microp ro cess or U s er’s Manual,
and is illustrated through sample programs in the
Dynamic C SAMPLES\RABBIT3000 folder. Table 3 lists these alternate uses.
3.2.2 PWM Outputs
Digital inputs DIN20–DIN23 can be used as PWM output channels by setting the jumper
on header JP4 across pins 7–8 to pull the digital inputs to ground. Once the PWM driver
sets up a given PWM channel, the corresponding digital input channel is no longer available for use as a digital input. T he output vo ltage swing will be 0 to 2. 5 V, which is su itable
for interfacing only to CMOS-level inputs. Since the output impedance is approximately
27 kΩ, the input impedance of the circuit the PWM output is connected to should be at
least 10 times as high.
The sample program
PWM.C in the IO subdirectory in SAMPLES\BL2600 shows how to
set up and use the PWM outputs.

3.2.3 High-Current Digital Outputs
The BL2600 has four high-current digital outputs, HOUT0–HOUT3, which can each sink
or source up to 2 A. Figure 9 shows a wiring diagram for using the digital outputs in either
a sinking or a souring configuration.
Figure 9. BL2600 High-Current Digital Outputs
All the digital outputs sink and source actively. They can be used as high-side drivers, lowside drivers, or as an H-bridge driver. When the BL2600 is first powered up or reset, all
the outputs are disabled, that is, at a high-impedance tristate, until the digHoutConfig
software function call is made. The digHoutConfig call sets the initial state of each
high-current output according to the configuration specified by the user, and enables the
digital outputs to their initial status.

Each high-current output has its own +K supply. When wiring the high-current outputs,
keep the distance to the power supply as short as possible.
CAUTION: If you are using a BL2600 with the ID C hea der con nec tors, beware that
an individual IDC header pin can only handle up to 1 A. Since the same high-current
outputs are avail able on opposit e pair s o f IDC head er conne ctors , you can sti ll us e the
2 A sinking or sourcing capability of the BL2600 by wiring all your connections,
including the ground, in parallel to the opposite pairs (see Figure 10 for an example).

3.2.4 Configurable I/O
The BL2600 has 16 configurable I/O that may be configured individually in software as
either digital inputs or as sinking digital outputs. By default, a configurable I/O channel is
a digital input, but may be set as a sinking digital output by using the digOutConfig
function call. The inputs are factory-configured to be pulled up to +5 V, but they can also
be pulled up to +K or DCIN, or pulled down to 0 V in banks by changing a jumper as
shown in Figure 12.

When you use the software digIn function call to read the configurable I/O, DIO00–
DIO15 are considered to be digital input channels 00–15. Note that the digIn function
call can also read these channels if they are set to be sinking digital outputs.
Table 2 lists the banks of digital inputs and summarizes the jumper settings.
As for the nonconfigurable digital inputs, the actual switching threshold is approximately
1.40 V. Anything below this value is a logic 0, and anything above is a logic 1. The digital
inputs are each fully protected over a range of -36 V to +36 V, and can handle short spikes
of ±40 V.
NOTE: If the inputs are pulled up to +K or to DCIN, the voltage range over which
the digital inputs are protected changes to +K (or DCIN) – 36 V to +36 V.
When set as a sinking digital output, a configurable I/O channel can sink up to 200 mA at
up to 40 V. When you use the software digOutConfig function call to set the configurable I/O, DIO00–DIO15 are considered to be digital output channels 00–15. The output
can be set up either as a sinking output or it can be put in a high-impedance tristate.

3.3 Serial Communication
The BL2600 has three serial communication ports, which can be configured as one RS-232
serial channel (with RTS/CTS) and one RS-232 (3-wire) channel or one RS-485 channel, or
as three RS-232 (3-wire) channels, or as two RS-232 (3-wire) channels and one RS-485
channel by using the serMode software function call. Table 6 summarizes the options.
The BL2600 also has one CMOS serial channel that serves as the programming port.
All four serial ports operate in an asynchronous mode. An asynchronous port can handle 7
or 8 data bits. A 9th bit address scheme, where an additional bit is sent to mark the first
byte of a message, is also supported. Serial Port A, the programming port, can be operated
alternately in the clocked serial mode. In this mode, a clock line synchronously clocks the
data in or out. Either of the two communicating devices can supply the clock. The BL2600
boards typically use all four ports in the asynchronous serial mode. Serial Ports C and F
are used for RS-232 communication, and Serial Port E is used for RS-232 or RS-485 communication. The BL2600 uses a 22.12 MHz resonator, which is doubled to 44.2 MHz. At
this frequency, the BL2600 supports standard asynchronous baud rates up to a maximum
of 5.525 Mbps.
3.3.1 RS-232
The BL2600 RS-232 serial communication is supported by an RS-232 transceiver. This
transceiver provides the voltage output, slew rate, and input voltage immunity required to
meet the RS-232 serial communication protocol. Basically, the chip translates the Rabbit
3000’s CMOS signals to RS-232 signal levels. Note that the polarity is reversed in an
RS-232 circuit so that a +3.3 V output becomes approximately -10 V and 0 V is output as
+10 V. The RS-232 transceiver also provides the proper line loading for reliable communication.
RS-232 can be used effectively at the BL2600’s maximum baud rate for distances of up to
15 m.
3.3.2 RS-485
The BL2600 can be set for one RS-485 serial channel, which is connected to the Rabbit
3000 Serial Port E through an RS-485 transceiver. The half-duplex communication uses
the Rabbit 3000’s PE3 pin to control the transmit enable on the communication line.

The BL2600 can be used in an RS-485 multidrop network. Connect the 485+ to 485+ and
485– to 485– using single twisted-pair wires (nonstranded, tinned) as shown in Figure 13.
Note that a common ground is recommended.
Figure 13. BL2600 Multidrop Network
The BL2600 comes with a 220 Ω termination resistor and two 681 Ω bias resistors installed
and enabled with jumpers across pins 1–2 and 5–6 on header JP7, as shown in Figure 14.

For best performance, the bias and termination resistors in a multidrop network should
only be enabled on both end nodes of the network. Disable the termination and bias resistors on any intervening BL2600 units in the network by removing both jumpers from
header JP6.
TIP: Save the jumpers for possible fut ure us e by “par king” t hem acr oss pin s 1–3 and 4 –6
of header JP7. Pins 3 and 4 are not otherwise connected to the BL2600.
3.3.3 Programming Port
The RabbitCore module on the BL2600 has a 10-pin programming header. The programming port uses the Rabbit 3000’s Serial Port A for communication, and is used for the following operations.
• Programming/debugging
• Cloning
The programming port is used to start the BL2600 in a mode where the BL2600 will
download a program from the port and then execute the program. The programming port
transmits information to and from a PC while a program is being debugged.
The Rabbit 3000 startup-mode pins (SMODE0, SMODE1) are presented to the programming port so that an externally connected device can force the BL2600 to start up in an
external bootstrap mode. The BL2600 can be reset from the programming port via the
/EXT_RSTIN line.
The Rabbit 3000 status pin is also presented to the programming port. The status pin is an
output that can be used to send a general digital signal.
NOTE: Refer to the Rabbit 3000 Microprocessor User’s Manual for more information
related to the bootstrap mode.

3.3.4 Ethernet Port
Figure 15 shows the pinout for the Ethernet port (J2 on the BL2600 module). Note that
there are two standards for numbering the pins on this connector—the convention used
here, and numbering in reverse to that shown. Regardless of the numbering convention
followed, the pin positions relative to the spring tab position (located at the bottom of the
RJ-45 jack in Figure 15) are always absolute, and the RJ-45 connector will work properly
with off-the-shelf Ethernet cables.
Figure 15. RJ-45 Ethernet Port Pinout
Two LEDs are placed next to the RJ-45 Ethernet jack, one to indicate an Ethernet link
(LNK) and one to indicate Ethernet activity (ACT).
The RJ-45 connector is shielded to minimize EMI effects to/from the Ethernet signals.

3.4 A/D Converter Inputs
The single A/D converter chip used in the BL2600 has a resolution of 12 bits (11 bits for the
value and one bit for the polarity)
. The A/D converter chip has a programmable amplifier.
Each external input has circuitry that provides scaling and filtering. All 8 external inputs
are scaled and filtered to provide the user with an input impedance of 1 MΩ and a variety
of single-ended unipolar, singl e-ended bipolar, and differential bipolar ranges as shown in
Table 7.
Figure 16 shows a pair of A/D converter input circuits. The resistors form an approx. 10:1
attenuator, and the capacitors filter noise pulses from the A/D converter inputs.
Figure 16. Buffered A/D Converter Inputs
The A/D converter chip can only accept positive voltages. By pairing the analog inputs and
setting the reference voltage from the D/A converter [0 V for single-ended unipolar or differential measurements, V = (voltage range) ÷ 9 for single-ended bipolar measurements],
single-ended unipolar, single-ended bipolar, differential bipolar, or current (4–20 mA on
channels 0–3 only) measurements are possible, and can be configured for each channel or
channel pair with the
opmode parameter in the anaInConfig software function call.
Adjacent A/D converter inputs are paired to make bipolar measurements. The default
setup is to measure only voltages for the ranges listed in Table 7.

When using channels AIN0–AIN3 for current measurements, remember to set the corresponding jumper(s) on header JP6.
The A/D converter inputs are factory-calibrated and the calibration constants are stored in a
separate EEPROM.
3.4.1 A/D Converter Calibration
To get the best results form the A/D converter, it is necessary to calibrate each mode (single-ended, differential, and current) for each of its gains. It is imperative that you calibrate
each of the A/D converter inputs in the same manner as they are to be used in the application. For example, if you will be performing floating differential measurements or differential measurements using a common analog ground, then calibrate the A/D converter in
the corresponding manner. The calibration table in software only holds calibration constants based on mode, channel, and gain.
Other factors affec ting the calibr ation must be taken
into account by calibrating using the same mode and gain setup as in the intended use.
Sample programs are provided to illustrate how to read and calibrate the various A/D
inputs for the three operating modes.
These sample programs are found in the
ADC subdirectory in SAMPLES\BL2600. See
Section 4.2.4 for more information on these sample programs and how to use them.

3.5 D/A Converter Outputs
The four D/A converter outputs are buffered and scaled to provide an output from 0 V to
+10 V (12-bit resolution) or ±10 V (11-bit resolution, one bit used for polarity). There are
also four 4–20 mA current outputs. Figure 17 shows the D/A converter outputs.
Figure 17. D/A Converter Outputs
T o stay within the maximum power dissipation of the D/A converter circuit, the maximum
D/A converter output current is 10 mA per channel for the voltage outputs. If you are
using the current outputs, keep the resistance driven by a current output channel below
400 Ω to stay within the power dissipation capabilities of the D/A converter circuit.
As Figure 17 shows, both the voltage and the current outputs for a particular channel are
driven by the same output on the D/A converter chip. As a result, either the anaOutVolts
or the anaOutmAmps function calls will set both the voltage and the current outputs corresponding to a particular channel. For example, if anaOutVolts sets unipolar channel
AV0 to be +10 V, AI0 will be 20 mA; if anaOutVolts sets unipolar channel AV0 to be
+5 V, AI0 will be 12 mA, the midpoint of the 4–20 mA range. It is possible to connect a
load to both the corresponding voltage and current outputs as long as the combined current
consumption does not exceed the 20 mA individual limit.
Because of the “connection” between the analog voltage outputs and the analog current
outputs, the configuration of the analog voltage outputs with the anaOutConfig function
call as unipolar outputs with 12-bit resolution or as bipolar outputs with 11-bit resolution

also affects the resolution of the 4–20 mA current outputs—you need to configure a voltage output for unipolar operation if you want 12-bit resolution on the associated current
output.
There are other effects on a current output when the associated voltage output is operating
in the bipola r mode. While vol tages of 0 to +10 V still co rrespond to current s of 4 to 20 mA,
the current cannot be determined reliably for voltages below 0 V, and will be “negative” at
voltages below -2.5 V. Thus the current output effectively becomes a “current sink”
instead of a “current source.”
The D/A converter outputs are factory-calibrated and the calibration constants are stored in a
separate EEPROM.
3.5.1 D/A Converter Calibration
To get the best results form the D/A converter, it is necessary to calibrate each mode (unipolar, bipolar, and current) for each of its gains. It is imperative that you calibrate each of
the D/A converter outputs in the same manner as they are to be used in the application.
The calibration table in software only holds calibration constants based on unipolar, bipolar, and voltage or current operation.
Other factors affec ting the calibr ation must be taken i nto
account by calibrating using the same mo de and voltage/current setup as in the intended use.
Sample programs are provided to illustrate how to calibrate the various D/A outputs for
the three operating modes.
These sample programs are found in the DAC subdirectory in SAMPLES\BL2600. See
Section 4.2.5 for more information on these sample programs and how to use them.

3.6 Analog Reference Voltage Circuit
Figure 18 shows the analog voltage reference circuit.
Figure 18. Analog Reference Voltages
The A/D converter chip supplies the 2.048 V reference voltage, which is divided in half
and then amplified and buffered to provide the 1.667 V and 2.5 V reference voltages used
by the digital output circuits.
The D/A converter chip provides the reference voltages for the digital inputs to provide
single-ended unipolar or differential measurements [0 V], or to provide single-ended
bipolar measurements [V = (voltage ran ge) ÷ 9]. Becau se the D/A conv erter chip operation
is configured by the anaOutConfig function, it is important to run the anaOutConfig
function before running anaInConfig if you plan to use the digital outputs to ensure that
the reference voltages are established first before the analog inputs are configured.

3.7 Programming Cable
The programming cable has a level converter board in the middle of the cable since the
BL2600 programming port supports CMOS logic levels , and not the higher voltage RS -232
levels that are used by PC serial ports. When the programming cable is connected, Dynamic
C running on the PC can hard-reset the BL2600 and cold-boot it. The cold boot includes
compiling and downloading a BIOS program that stays resident while you work. If you
crash the target, Dynamic C will automatically reboot and recompile the BIOS if it senses
that a target communication error occurred or that the BIOS source code has changed.
3.7.1 Switching Between Program Mode and Run Mode
The BL2600 is automatically in Program Mode when the
PROG
connector on the program-
ming cable is attached,
and is automatically in Run Mode when no programming cable is
attached. See Figure 19.
Figure 19. BL2600 Program Mode and Run Mode Set-Up
3.7.2 Detailed Instructions: Changing from Program Mode to Run Mode
1. Disconnect the programming cable from header J1 of the BL2600 module.
2. Reset the BL2600 by unplugging the AC adapter, then plugging it back in.
The BL2600 is now ready to operate in the Run Mode.
3.7.3 Detailed Instructions: Changing from Run Mode to Program Mode
1. Attach the programming cable to header J1 of the BL2600 module.
2. Reset the BL2600 by unplugging the AC adapter, then plugging it back in. Alternatively, you may press <Ctrl-Y> on your PC if Dynamic C is running.
The BL2600 is now ready to operate in the Program Mode.

3.8 Other Hardware
3.8.1 Clock Doubler
The BL2600 takes advantage of the Rabbit 3000 microprocessor’s internal clock doubler.
A built-in clock doubler allows half-frequency crystals to be used to reduce radiated emissions. The 44.2 MHz frequency specified for the BL2600 is generated using a 22.12 MHz
resonator.
The clock doubler may be disabled if 44.2 MHz clock speeds are not required. Disabling
the Rabbit 3000 microprocessor’s internal clock doubler will reduce power consumption
and further reduce radiated emissions. The clock doubler is disabled with a simple change
to the BIOS as described below.
3.8.2 Spectrum Spreader
The Rabbit 3000 features a spectrum spreader, which helps to mitigate EMI problems. By
default, the spectrum spreader is on automatically, but it may also be turned off or set to a
stronger setting. The means for doing so is through a simple change to the following BIOS
line in a way that is similar to the clock doubler described above.
#define ENABLE_SPREADER 1 // Set to 0 to disable spectrum spreader.
#define SPREADER_SETTING 0 // 0 = normal spreading, 1 = strong spreading
NOTE: The strong spectrum-spreading sett ing i s n ot rec ommended s ince i t may l imit the
maximum clock speed or the maximum baud rate.
1. Open the BIOS source code file, RABBITBIOS.C in the BIOS directory.
2. Change the line
#define CLOCK_DOUBLED 1 // set to 1 to double clock if
// Rabbit 2000: crystal <= 12.9024 MHz,
// Rabbit 3000: crystal <= 26.7264 MHz,
// or to 0 to always disable clock doubler
to read as follows.
#define CLOCK_DOUBLED 0
3. Save the change using File > Save.

3.9 Memory
3.9.1 SRAM
The BL2600 modules have 512K of program-execution SRAM packaged in an SOIC
case. The BL2600 modules also come with 256K of data SRAM.
3.9.2 Flash M emory
The BL2600 also has 512K of flash memory packaged in a TSOP case.
NOTE: Z-Wor ld rec ommends that any cust omer applications should not be constrain ed
by the sector size of the flash memory since it may be necessary to change the sector
size in the future.
Writing to arbitrary flash memory addresses at run time is also discouraged. Instead,
define a “user block” area to store persistent data. The functions writeUserBlock and
readUserBlock are provided for this.
A Flash Memory Bank Select jumper configuration option based on 0 Ω surface-mounted
resistors exists at header JP4 on the RabbitCore module (BL2600) or at header JP1 on the
RabbitCore module (BL2610). This option, used in conjunction with some configuration
macros, allows Dynamic C to compile two different co-resident programs for the upper
and lower halves of the 512K flash in such a way that both programs start at logical
address 0000. This is useful for applications that require a resident download manager and
a separate downloaded program. See Technical Note 218,
Implementing a Serial Download
Manager for a 256K Flash
, for details.
3.9.3 Serial Flash
Header J9 is provided to allow you to plug in a Z-World SF1000 serial flash. You may use
two ½" (12 mm) spacers with 4-40 × 3/4 screws and nuts to attach the SF1000 securely.

4. SOFTWARE
Dynamic C is an integrated development system for writing
embedded software. It runs on an IBM-compatible PC and is
designed for use with Z-World single-board computers and other
devices based on the Rabbit microprocessor.
Chapter 4 provides the libraries, function calls, and sample programs related to the BL2600.
4.1 Running Dynamic C
You have a choice of doing your software development in the flash memory or in the static
RAM included on the BL2600. The advantage of working in RAM is to save wear on the
flash memory, which is limited to about 100,000 write cycles.
NOTE: An application can be developed in RAM, but cannot run sta nda lon e fr om RAM
after the programming ca ble is disconn ected. S tandalone ap plications can on ly run from
flash memory.
The disadvantage of using flash memory for debug is that interrupts must be disabled for
approximately 5 ms whenever a break point is set in the program. This can crash fast interrupt routines that are running while you stop at a break point or single-step the program.
Flash memory or RAM is selected on the Options > Compiler menu.

4.1.1 Upgrading Dynamic C
4.1.1.1 Patches and Updates
Dynamic C patches that focus on patches and updates are available from time to time.
Check the Web site
• www.zworld.com/support/
for the latest patches, workarounds, and updates.
The default installation of a patch or update is to install the file in a directory (folder) dif-
ferent from that of the original Dynamic C installation. Z-World recommends using a different directory so that you can verify the operation of the patch or update without
overwriting the existing Dynamic C installation. If you have made any changes to the
BIOS or to libraries, or if you have programs in the old directory (folder), make these
same changes to the BIOS or libraries in the new directory containing the patch. Do not
simply copy over an entire file since you may overwrite an update; of course, you may
copy over any programs you have written. Once you are sure the new patch or update
works entirely to your satisfaction, you may retire the existing installation, but keep it
available to handle legacy applications.
4.1.1.2 Upgrades
Dynamic C installations are designed for use with the board they are included with, and
are included at no charge as part of our low-cost kits. Dynamic C is a complete software
development system, but does not include all the Dynamic C features. Z-W orld also offers
for sale add-on Dynamic C modules containing the popular µC/OS-II real-time operating
system, as well as PPP, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), RabbitWeb, FAT File System, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and other select libraries. In addition to the Web-based
technical support included at no extra charge, a one-year telephone-based technical support module is also available for purchase.

4.2 Sample Programs
Sample programs are provided in the Dynamic C Samples folder. The sample program
PONG.C demonstrates the output to the STDIO window.
The various directories in the
Samples folder contain specific sa mple pr ograms tha t illus-
trate the use of the corresponding Dynamic C libraries.
The
BL2600 folder provides sample programs specific to the BL2600. Each sample pro-
gram has comments that describe the purpose and function of the program. Follow the
instructions at the beginning of the sample program.
T o run a sample program , open it with the
File menu (if it is not still op en), compi le it using
the Compile menu, and then run it by selecting Run in the Run menu. The BL2600 must
be in Program mode (see Section 3.7, “Programming Cable,”) and must be connected to a
PC using the programming cable as described in Section 2.2, “BL2600 Connections.”
More complete information on Dynamic C is provided in the Dynamic C User’s Manual.
TCP/IP specific functions are described in the Dynamic C TCP/IP User’s Manual. Infor-
mation on using the TCP/IP features and sample programs is provided in Section 5,
“Using the TCP/IP Features.”
4.2.1 General BL2600 Sample Programs
The following sample programs are found in the SAMPLES\BL2600 folder.
•
BOARD_ID.C—This program is used to identify the model of BL2600 being used, and
displays that information in the
STDIO window.
4.2.2 Digital I/O
The following sample programs are found in the IO subdirectory in SAMPLES\BL2600.
•
DIGIN.C—Demonstrates the use of the digital inputs. Using the Demonstration Board,
you can see an input channel toggle from HIGH to LOW when pressing a pushbutton
on the Demonstration Board. See Appendix D for hookup instructions for the Demonstration Board. This sample program does not explicitly configure any of the configurable I/O, so all the configurable I/O are available by default as digital inputs.
• DIGINBANK.C—Demonstrates the use of digInBank to read digital inputs. Using the
Demonstration Board, you can see an input channel toggle from HIGH to LOW when
pressing a pushbutton on the Demonstration Board. See Appendix D for hookup
instructions for the Demonstration Board. This sample program does not explicitly configure any of the configurable I/O, so all the configurable I/O are available by default as
digital inputs.
• DIGOUT.C—Demonstrates the use of the configurable I/O sinking outputs. Using the
Demonstration Board, you can see an LED toggle on/off via a sinking output. See
Appendix D for hookup instructions for the Demonstration Board.
• DIGOUTBANK.C—Demonstrates the use of digInBank to control the configurable I/O
sinking outputs. Using the Demonstration Board, you can see an LED toggle on/off via
a sinking output. See Appendix D for hookup instructions for the Demonstration Board.
Page 40
36 Wolf (BL2600)
• HIGH_CURRENT_IO.C—Demonstrates the use of the high-current outputs configured
as either sinking or sourcing outputs. High-current output HOUT0 is configured for
sourcing to provide power to the Demonstration Board. Outputs HOUT1 and HOUT2
are configured to demonstrate tristate operation to toggle the LEDs on the Demonstration Board. Output HOUT3 is configured as a sinking output to toggle an LED on the
Demonstration Board. See Appendix D for hookup instructions for the Demonstration
Board.
•
PWM.C—Demonstrates the use of the four PWM channels on Parallel Port F (PF4–PF7)
on pins DIN20–DIN23. The PWM signals are set for a frequency of 10 kHz with the
duty cycle adjustable from 1 to 99% by the user. Since the output voltage swing is 0 V
to 2.5 V DC, the PWM outputs should interface only with TTL-compatible components. Follow these instructions when running this sample program.
1. Connect the jumper across pins 7–8 on header JP4 to select the GND option.
2. Once you have compiled and run thi s pr ogr am, you may chang e duty cycle for a given PWM channel via the Dynamic C
STDIO window and use either an oscilloscope or a voltmeter to view the
output. When monitoring with a voltmeter, you can compute the expected voltage Vout = PWM
percentage × 2.5 V.
4.2.3 Serial Communication
The following sample programs are found in the RS232 subdirectory in SAMPLES\BL2600.
• PARITY.C—This sample program repeatedly sends byte values 0–127 from Serial Port F
to Serial Port C. The program switches between generating parity and not generating
parity on Serial Port F. Serial Port C will always be checking parity, so parity errors
should occur during every other sequence. The results are displayed in the Dynamic C
STDIO window.
Connect TxF to RxC before compiling and running this sample program.
NOTE: For the sequence that does yield parity errors, the errors won't occur for each
byte received. Th is is be cause certain byte patte rns alon g with th e stop bit wil l appear to
generate the correct parity for the UART.
• SIMPLE3WIRE.C—This program demonstrates basic RS-232 serial communication.
Connect TxC to RxF on header J17 and connect TxF to RxC on header J17 before compiling and running this sample program.
• SIMPLE5WIRE.C—This program demonstrates 5-wire RS-232 serial communication.
Connect TxC to RxC on header J17 and conn ect TxF to RxF on header J17 before compiling and running this sample program.
TxF and RxF become the flow control RTS and CTS. To test flow control, disconnect
RTS from CTS while running this program. Characters should stop printing in the
Dynamic C STDIO window and should resume when RTS and CTS are connected again
Page 41
User’s Manual 37
The following sample programs are found in the RS485 subdirectory in SAMPLES\BL2600.

letters to a slave. The slave will send back converted upper case letters back to the
master BL2600 and display them in the
STDIO window. Use SLAVE.C to program the
slave. Make the following connections between the master and slave:
485+ to 485+

4.4.3 Serial Co mmunication
Library files included with Dynamic C provide a full range of serial communications support. The RS232.LIB library provides a set of circular-buffer-based serial functions. The
PACKET.LIB library provides packet-based serial functions where packets can be delim-
ited by the 9th bit, by transmission gaps, or with user-defined special characters. Both
libraries provide blocking functions, which do not return until they are finished transmitting or receiving, and nonblocking functions, which must be called repeatedly until they
are finished. For more information, see the Dynamic C User’s Manual and T echnical Note
213, Rabbit 2000 Serial Port Software.

4.4.4 A/D Converter Inputs
Configures an A/D converter input channel pair for a given mode of operation. This function must be
called before accessing the A/D converter chip.
NOTE: If you plan to configure the D/A converter chip usi ng anaOutConfig, you must
call
anaOutConfig before executing anaInConfig. This is because the A/D con-
verter uses internal channels 4–7 on the D/A converter chip to bias the A/D converter
input circuit.

4.4.5 D/A Converter Outputs
Configures the D/A converter chip for a given output vo ltag e range, 0– 10 V or ±10 V, and loads the calibration data for use by the D/A converter API functions. This function must be called before accessing
any of the D/A converter channels.
NOTE: If you are using the analog outputs, you must configure the D/A converter chip
using the
anaOutConfig function before executin g anaInConfig to configure the
A/D converter chip. This is because the A/D converter chip uses internal channels 4–7
on the D/A converter chip to bias the A/D converter input circuit, and the correct configuration of the A/D converter would be affected if the D/A converter configuration
was changed later.
PARAMETERS
configuration sets the output configuration as follows:
0 = unipolar operation. (0–10V and 4–20 mA)
1 = bipolar operation. (±10V and 4–20 mA)
NOTE: When the D/A converter is configured for bipolar operation, the 4–20 mA chan-
nels change from 12-bit to 11-bit resolution.
mode is the mode of operation:
0 = asynchronous—an output is updated at the time data are written to the given channel
1 = synchronous—all outputs are updated with data previously written when the anaOutStrobe
function is executed.
RETURN VALUE
None.

5. USING THE TCP/IP FEATURES
Chapter 5 discusses using the TCP/IP features on the BL2600
and BL2610 boards. The TCP/IP feature is not available on
BL2610.
5.1 TCP/IP Connections
Before proceeding you will need to have the following items.
• If you don’t have Ethernet access, you will need at least a 10Base-T Ethernet card
(available from your favorite computer supplier) installed in a PC.
• Two RJ-45 straight through Ethernet cables and a hub, or an RJ-45 crossover Ethernet
cable.
The Ethernet cables and Ethernet hub are available from Z-World in a TCP/IP tool kit.
More information is available at www.zworld.com
.
1. Connect the AC adapter and the programming cable as shown in Chapter 2, “Getting
Started.”
2. Ethernet Connections
If you do not have access to an Ethernet network, use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the BL2600 to a PC that at least has a 10Base-T Ethernet card.
If you have Ethernet access, use a straight through Ethernet cable to establish an Ethernet
connection to the BL2600 from an Ethernet hub. These connections are shown in Figure 21.

The PC running Dynamic C through the serial programming port on the BL2600 does not
need to be the PC with the Ethernet card.
3. Apply Power
Plug in the AC adapter. The BL2600 is now ready to be used.
NOTE: A hardware RESET is accomplished by unplugging the AC adapter, then plug-
ging it back in, or by momentarily grounding the board reset input at pin 9 on sc rew t erminal header J2.
When working with the BL2600, the green LNK light is on when a program is running and
the board is properly connected either to an Ethernet hub or to an active Ethernet card. The
orange ACT light flashes each time a packet is received.
Page 69
User’s Manual 65
5.2 TCP/IP Sample Programs
W e have provided a number of sample programs demonstrating various uses of TCP/IP for
networking embedded systems. These programs require that you connect your PC and the
BL2600 together on the same network. This network can be a local private network (preferred for initial experimentation and debugging), or a connection via the Internet.
5.2.1 How to Set IP Addresses in the Sample Programs
With the introduction of Dynamic C 7.30 we have taken steps to make it easier to run
many of our sample programs. You will see a
TCPCONFIG macro. This macro tells
Dynamic C to select your configuration from a list of default configurations. You will
have three choices when you encounter a sample program with the TCPCONFIG macro.
1. You can replace the
TCPCONFIG macro with individual MY_IP_ADDRESS,
MY_NETMASK, MY_GATEWAY, and MY_NAMESERVER macros in each program.
2. Y ou can leave
TCPCONFIG at the usual default of 1, which will set the IP configurations
to
10.10.6.100, the netmask to 255.255.255.0, and the nameserver and gateway
to 10.10.6.1. If you would like to change the default values, for example, to use an IP
address of 10.1.1.2 for the BL2600 board, and 10.1.1.1 for your PC, you can edit
the values in the section that directly follows the “General Configuration” comment in
the TCP_CONFIG.LIB library. You will find this library in the LIB\TCPIP directory.
3. You can create a CUSTOM_CONFIG.LIB library and use a TCPCONFIG value greater
than 100. Instructions for doing this are at the beginning of the TCP_CONFIG.LIB
library in the
LIB\TCPIP directory.
There are some other “standard” configurations for TCPCONFIG that let you select different features such as DHCP. Their values are documented at the top of the
TCP_CONFIG.LIB library in the LIB\TCPIP directory. More information is available in
the Dynamic C TCP/IP User’s Manual.
Page 70
66 Wolf (BL2600)
5.2.2 How to Set Up your Computer’s IP Address for a Direct Connection
When your computer is connected directly to the BL2600 via an Ethernet connection, you
need to assign an IP address to your computer. To assign the PC the address
10.10.6.101 with the subnetmask 255.255.255.0, do the following.
Click on
Start > Settings > Control Panel to bring up the Control Panel, and then
double-click the Network icon. Depending on which version of Windows you are using,
look for the TCP/IP Protocol/Network > Dial-Up Connections/Network line or tab.
Double-click on this line or select Properties or Local Area Connections > Proper ties
to bring up the TCP/IP properties dialog box. You can edit the IP address and the subnet
mask directly. (Disable “obtain an IP address automatically”.) You may want to write
down the existing values in case you have to restore them later. It is not necessary to edit
the gateway address since the gateway is not used with direct connect.

5.2.3 Run the PINGME.C Demo
Connect the crossover cable from your computer’s Ethernet port to the BL2600’s RJ-45
Ethernet connector. Open this sample program from the SAMPLES\TCPIP\ICMP folder,
compile the program, and start it running under Dynamic C. When the program starts running, the green LNK light on the BL2600 should be on to indicate an Ethernet connection
is made. (Note: If the
LNK light does not light, you may not have a crossover cable, or if
you are using a hub perhaps the power is off on the hub.)
The next step is to ping the board from your PC. This can be done by bringing up the MS-
DOS window and running the ping program:
ping 10.10.6.100
or by Start > Run
and typing the command
ping 10.10.6.100
Notice that the orange ACT light flashes on the BL2600 while the ping is taking place, and
indicates the transfer of data. The ping routine will ping the board four times and write a
summary message on the screen describing the operation.
Page 72
68 Wolf (BL2600)
5.2.4 Running More Demo Programs With a Direct Connection
The program SSI.C (SAMPLES\BL2600\TCPIP\) demonstrates how to make the
BL2600 a Web server. This program allows you to turn the LEDs on an attached Demonstration Board from the Tool Kit on and off from a remote Web browser. The LEDs on the
Demonstration Board match the ones on the Web page. Follow the instructions included
with the sample program. As long as you have not modified the
TCPCONFIG 1 macro in
the sample program, enter the following server address in your Web browser to bring up
the Web page served by the sample program.
http://10.10.6.100.
Otherwise use the TCP/IP settings you entered in the
TCP_CONFIG.LIB library.
The sample program
SMTP.C (SAMPLES\BL2600\TCPIP\) allows you to send an E-mail
when a switch on the Demonstration Board is pressed. Follow the instructions included
with the sample program.
The sample program
TELNET.C (SAMPLES\BL2600\TCPIP\) allows you to communi-
cate with the BL2600 using the Telnet protocol. This program takes anything that comes
in on a port and sends it out Serial P ort C. It uses a digital i nput to in dicate that the TCP/IP
connection should be closed and a digital output to toggle a LED to indicate that there is
an active connection.
Follow the instructions included with the sample program. Run the Telnet program on
your PC (Start > Run telnet 10.10.6.100). As long as you have not modified the
TCPCONFIG 1 macro in the sample program, the IP address is 10.10.6.100 as shown;
otherwise use the TCP/IP settings you entered in the TCP_CONFIG.LIB library. Each
character you type will be printed in Dynamic C's STDIO window, indicating that the
board is receiving the characters typed via TCP/IP.
5.3 Where Do I Go From Here?
NOTE: If you purchased your BL2600 through a distributor or Z-World partner, contact
the distributor or Z-World partner first for technical support.
If there are any problems at this point:
• Check the Z-W orld Technical Bulletin Board at www .zworld.com/support/bb/.
• Use the Technical Support e-mail form at www.zworld.com/support/.
If the sample programs ran fine, you are now ready to go on.
Additional sample programs are described in the Dynamic C TCP/IP User’s Manual.
Refer to the Dynamic C TCP/IP User’s Manual to develop your own applications. An
Introduction to TCP/IP provides background information on TCP/IP, and is available on
Z-World’s Web site.

A.1.1 Exclusion Zone
It is recommended that you allow for an “exclusion zone” of 0.25" (6 mm) around the
BL2600 in all directions when the BL2600 is incorporated into an assembly that includes
other components. This “exclusion zone” that you keep free of other components and
boards will allow for sufficient air flow, and will help to minimize any electrical or EMI
interference between adjacent boards. An “exclusion zone” of 0.12" (3 mm) is recommended below the BL2600. Figure A-2 shows this “exclusion zone.”

A.2 Conformal Coating
The areas around the crystal oscillator and the battery backup circuit on the BL2600 module have had the Dow Corning silicone-based 1-2620 conformal coating applied. The conformally coated areas are shown in Figure A-4. The conformal coating protects these
high-impedance circuits from the effects of moisture and contaminants over time.
Figure A-4. BL2600 Areas Receiving Conformal Coating
Any components in the conformally coated area may be replaced using standard soldering
procedures for surface-mounted components. A new conformal coating should then be
applied to offer continuing protection against the effects of moisture and contaminants.
NOTE: For more information on conformal coatings, refer to Rabbit Semiconductor
Technical Note 303, Conformal Coatings.

APPENDIX B. POWER SUPPLY
Appendix B describes the power circuitry provided on the
BL2600.
B.1 Power Supplies
Power is supplied to the BL2600 via the friction-lock connector at J12. The BL2600 is
protected against reverse polarity by a diode at D1 as shown in Figure B-1.
Figure B-1. BL2600 Power Supply
The input voltage range is from 9 V to 36 V. A switching power regulator is used to provide +5 V for the BL2600 logic circuits. In turn, the regulated +5 V DC power supply is
used to drive a regulated +3.3 V power supply and ±12 V power supplies used by the opamps driving the digital outputs.
The digital ground and the analog ground share a single split ground plane on the board,
with the analog ground connected at a single point to the digital ground by a 0 Ω resistor
(R57). This is done to minimize digital noise in the analog circuits and to eliminate the
possibility of ground loops. External connections to analog ground are made on a polarized friction-lock connector at J8.

B.1.1 Power for Analog Circuits
Power to the analog circuits is provided by way of a one-stage low-pass filter, which
isolates the analog section from digital noise generated by the other components. The analog +5 V supply powers the D/A converter, and is not accessible to the user. The A/D converter is powered by the regulated +3.3 V supply, and supplies the +2.048 V reference
violate from which the 1.667 V and 2.5 V reference voltages for the D/A converter output
circuits are derived.
B.2 Batteries and External Battery Connections
The SRAM and the real-time clock on the BL2600 module have battery backup. Power to
the SRAM and the real- time clock (VRAM) is provided by two different source s, depending
on whether the main part of the BL2600 is powered or not. When the BL2600 is powered
normally, and the +3.3 V supply is within operating limits, the SRAM and the real-time
clock are powered from the +3.3 V supply. If power to the board is lost or falls below 2.93 V
(2.63 V on the BL2610), the VRAM and real-time clock power will come from the battery.
The reset generator circuit c ontrols t he source of power by way of its
/RESET output signal.
A replaceable 950 mA·h lithium battery provides power to the real-time clock and SRAM
when external power is removed from the circuit board. The drain on the battery is typically
less than 10 µA when there is no external power applied to the BL2600, and so the expected
shelf life of the battery is
This is almost as long as the 10-year shelf life of the battery.
B.2.1 Replacing the Backup Battery
The battery is user-replaceable, and is fitted in a battery holder. To replace the battery, lift
up on the spring clip and slide out the old battery. Use only a Panasonic CR2477 or equivalent replacement battery, and insert it into the battery holder with the + side facing up.
NOTE: The SRAM contents and the real-time clock settings will be lost if the battery is
replaced with no power applied to the BL2600. Exercise care if you replace the battery
while external power is applied to the BL2600.
CAUTION: There is an explosion danger if th e bat te ry is short-circuited, r echarged,
or replaced incorrectly. Replace the battery only with the same type or an equivalent
type recommended by the battery manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according
to the battery manufacturer’s instructions.

EMONSTRATION BOARD
Appendix C shows how to connect the Demon stration Board to
the BL2600.
C.1 Connecting Demonstration Board
Before running sample programs based on the Demonstration Board, you will have to connect the Demonstration Board
from the BL2600 Tool Kit to the BL2600 board. Proceed as
follows.
1. Use the wires included in the
BL2600 Tool
Kit to connect header J1 on the Demonstra-
tion
Board to screw-terminal headers J1 and J12 on the BL2600. The connections are
shown in Figure C-1
for sample program DIGIN.C and for sample program SMTP.C, in
Figure C-2
for sample program DIGOUT.C and for sample program SSI.C, and in
Figure C-3
for sample program HIGH_CURRENT_IO.C.
2. Make sure that your BL2600 is connected to your PC via the programming cable and
that the power supply is connected to the BL2600 and plugged in as described in
Chapter 2, “Getting Started.”

connections are made point to point, and until a port-expansion method is available, a
RabbitNet master port can only be connected directly to a peripheral card, and the number
of peripheral cards is limited by the number of available RabbitNet ports on the master.

Use a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the master to slave peripheral cards, unless
you are using a device such as the OP7200 that could be used either as a master or a slave. In
this case you would use a crossover cable to connect an OP7200 that is being used as a slave.
Distances between a master unit and peripheral cards can be up to 10 m or 33 ft.

D.2 Physical Implementation
There are four signaling functions associated with a RabbitNet connection. From the master’s point of view, the transmit function carries information and commands to the peripheral card. The receive function is used to read back information sent to the master by the
peripheral card. A clock is used to synchronize data going between the two devices at high
speed. The master is the source of this clock. A slave select (SS) function originates at the
master, and when detected by a peripheral card causes it to become selected and respond
to commands received from the master.
The signals themselves are differential RS-422, which are series-terminated at the source.
With this type of termination, the maximum frequency is limited by the round-trip delay
time of the cable. Although a peripheral card could theoretically be up to 45 m (150 ft)
from the master for a data rate of 1 MHz, Z-World recommends a practical limit of 10 m
(33 ft).
Connections between peripheral cards and masters are done using standard 8-conductor
Ethernet cables. Masters and peripheral cards are equipped with RJ-45 8-pin female connectors. The cables may be swapped end for end without affecting functionality.
D.2.1 Control and Routing
Control starts at the master when the master asserts the slave select signal (SS). Then it
simultaneously sends a serial command and clock. The first byte of a command contains
the address of the peripheral card if more than one peripheral card is connected.
A peripheral card assumes it is selected as soon as it receives the select signal. For direct
master-to-peripheral-card connections, this is as soon as the master asserts the select signal. The connection is established once the select signal reaches the addressed slave. At
this point communication between the master and the selected peripheral card is established, and data can flow in both directions simultaneously. The connection is maintained
so long as the master asserts the select signal.

D.3 Function Calls
The function calls described in this section are used with all RabbitNet peripheral cards,
and are available in the RNET.LIB library in the Dynamic C RABBITNET folder.
Resets, initializes, or disables a specified RabbitNet port on the master single-board computer. During
initialization, the network is enumerated and relevant tables are filled in. If the port is already initialized,
calling this function forces a re-enumeration of all devices on that port.
Call this function first before using other RabbitNet functions.
PARAMETERS
portflag is a bit that represents a RabbitNet port on the master single-board computer (from 0 to the
maximum number of ports). A set bit requires a service. If portflag = 0x03, both RabbitNet ports 0
and 1 will need to be serviced.
servicetype enables or disables each RabbitNet port as set by the port flags.
0 = disable port
1 = enable port
RETURN VALUE
0
Returns an address index to device information from a given physical node address.
This function will
check device information to determine that the peripheral card is connected to a master.
PARAMETER
pna is the physical node address, indicated as a byte.
7,6—2-bit binary representation of the port number on the master
5,4,3—Level 1 router downstream port
2,1,0—Level 2 router downstream port
RETURN VALUE
Pointer to device information. -1 indicates that the peripheral card either cannot be identified or is not
connected to the master.
SEE ALSO
rn_find
int rn_init(char portflag, char servicetype);
int rn_device(char pna);

Locates the first active device that matches the search criteria.
PARAMETER
srch is the search criteria structure rn_search:
unsigned int flags; // status flags see MATCH macros below
unsigned int ports; // port bitmask
char productid; // product id
char productrev; // product rev
char coderev; // code rev
long serialnum; // serial number
Use a maximum of 3 macros for the search criteria:
RN_MATCH_PORT // match port bitmask
RN_MATCH_PNA // match physical node address
RN_MATCH_HANDLE // match instance (reg 3)
RN_MATCH_PRDID // match id/version (reg 1)
RN_MATCH_PRDREV // match product revision
RN_MATCH_CODEREV // match code revision
RN_MATCH_SN // match serial number
For example:
rn_search newdev;
newdev.flags = RN_MATCH_PORT|RN_MATCH_SN;
newdev.ports = 0x03; //search ports 0 and 1
newdev.serialnum = E3446C01L;
