Appendix C. Install Firmware and Upgrades
Appendix C provides information on how to connect the RabbitLink to reload the firmware and firmware upgrades.
C.1 Download Firmware
Two binary files are included in the Dynamic C RabbitLink folder.
- DOWNLOAD.BIN--RabbitLink firmware binary image.
- CLEAR_PARAM.BIN--RabbitLink serial port reset. This binary file is used to reset the serial port if its operation has become undefined.
The RabbitLink board supplied from the factory already has DOWNLOAD.BIN firmware loaded. Follow these steps to reload the firmware or to reset the RabbitLink serial port.
1. Connect the RabbitLink board to your PC as shown in Figure C-1 with the PROG connector on the programming cable connected to the PROG IN header of the RabbitLink board.
2. Use the Rabbit Field Utility to load the DOWNLOAD.BIN firmware or the CLEAR_PARAM.BIN binary image onto the RabbitLink board.
3. Disconnect the programming cable.
4. Unplug the power supply, then plug the power supply back in. This resets the RabbitLink from Program Mode to Run Mode.
C.1.1 Firmware Upgrades
Follow the above steps to install a firmware upgrade. Just subsitute the name of the firmware upgrade for the DOWNLOAD.BIN firmware binary image file. Web ugrades will be available at www.rabbitsemiconductor.com or at www.zworld.com.
