2. Hardware Connections

Chapter 2 explains how to connect the power supply to the TCP/IP Development Board and how to connect the programming cable to your PC. Once you run a sample program to demonstrate that you have connected everything correctly, you will be ready to go on and finish developing your system.

2.1 Development Kit Contents

The TCP/IP Development Kit contains the following items:

• TCP/IP Development Board with 512K flash memory and 128K SRAM.

• Demonstration Board with pushbutton switches and LEDs, used to demonstrate I/O and TCP/IP capabilities.

• Wire assembly to connect Demonstration Board to TCP/IP Development Board.

• Set of 4 rubber foot pads to position TCP/IP Development Board.

• Wall transformer power supply, 12 V DC, 500 mA (included only with Development Kits sold for the North American market--overseas users will need a power supply compatible with their local mains power).

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

• Dynamic C SE CD-ROM, with complete product documentation on disk.

• This Getting Started manual.

• Registration card.

2.2 Connections

1. Attach the rubber feet to the bottom corners of the TCP/IP Development Board.

2. Connect the Programming Cable to the TCP/IP Development Board

Turn the Rabbit 2000 TCP/IP Development Board so that the Rabbit 2000 microprocessor is facing up as shown below. Connect the 10-pin PROG connector of the programming cable to header J4 onthe TCP/IP Development Board as shown in Figure 2. Be sure to orient the red edge of the cable towards pin 1 of the connector. (Do not use the DIAG connector, which is used for a normal serial connection.) Connect the other end of the programming cable to a COM port on your PC.

3. Connect Power Supply to TCP/IP Development Board

Connect the positive lead (indicated with red heat-shrink tubing) to the PWR connector on header J7 on the TCP/IP Development Board and connect the negative lead to GND on header J7 as shown here.

Figure 3. Power Supply Connections

NOTE	Be careful to hook up the positive and negative power leads exactly as described. Otherwise, the TCP/IP Development board will not function.

4. Apply Power

Plug in the wall transformer. The TCP/IP Development Board is now ready to be used.

NOTE	A hardware RESET is accomplished by unplugging the AC adapter, then plugging it back in.

2.3 Where Do I Go From Here?

We recommend that you proceed to the next chapter and install Dynamic C (if you do not already have it installed), then run the first sample program to verify that the TCP/IP Development Board is set up and functioning correctly.

If everything appears to be working, we recommend the following sequence of action:

1. Run all of the sample programs described in Chapter 4 to get a basic familiarity with Dynamic C and the TCP/IP Development Board's capabilities.

2. A documentation icon should have been installed on your workstation's desktop; click on it to reach the documentation menu. You can create a new desktop icon that points to default.htm in the docs folder in the Dynamic C installation folder.

3. For advanced development topics, refer to the Dynamic C Premier User's Manual, also in the online documentation set.

2.3.1 Technical Support

NOTE	If you purchased your TCP/IP Development Board through a distributor or through a Z-World or Rabbit Semiconductor partner, contact the distributor or Z-World partner first for technical support.
