B.4 Using the Prototyping Board

The Prototyping Board is actually both a demonstration board and a prototyping board. As
a demonstration board, it can be used to demonstrate the functionality of the RCM4000
right out of the box without any modifications to either board.

The Prototyping Board comes with the basic components necessary to demonstrate the
operation of the RCM4000. Two LEDs (DS2 and DS3) are connected to PB2 and PB3,
and two switches (S2 and S3) are connected to PB4 and PB5 to demonstrate the interface
to the Rabbit 4000 microprocessor. Reset switch S1 is the hardware reset for the RCM4000.

The Prototyping Board provides the user with RCM4000 connection points brought out con-
veniently to labeled points at header J2 on the Prototyping Board. Although header J2 is
unstuffed, a 2 × 25 header is included in the bag of parts. RS-232 signals (Serial Ports C
and D) are available on header J4. A header strip at J4 allows you to connect a ribbon cable,
and a ribbon cable to DB9 connector is included with the Development Kit. The pinouts for
these locations are shown in Figure B-4.

The analog signals are brought out to labeled points at header location J3 on the Prototyping
Board. Although header J3 is unstuffed, a 2 × 7 header can be added. Note that analog
signals are not available from the RCM4010 included in the Development Kit — only the
RCM4000 model has an A/D converter.
