Jackrabbit (BL1800)

2.5 Where Do I Go From Here?

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

1. Run all of the sample programs described in Section 4.2 to get a basic familiarity with

Dynamic C and the Jackrabbit’s capabilities.

2. For further development, refer to this Jackrabbit (BL1800) User’s Manual for details

of the board’s hardware components.

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 User’s Manual, also in the

online documentation set.

2.5.1 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 pro-

gram from the Dynamic C

SAMPLES\RTCLOCK

folder. The

RTC_TEST.C

sample pro-

gram in the Dynamic C

SAMPLES\RTCLOCK

folder provides additional examples of how

to read and set the real-time clock
