RabbitLink (EG2100)
3.2.2 Firmware Upgrades
Follow the above steps to install a firmware upgrade. Just substitute the name of the firmware
upgrade for the firmware binary image file (
DOWNLOAD.BIN
). Firmware upgrades will be avail-
able at
www.rabbitsemiconductor.com
or at
www.zworld.com
3.3 Serving Web Pages and Sending E-Mail
The RabbitLink is intended for downloading and debugging across an Ethernet-based network
with a Rabbit-based target. However, it is possible to use the RabbitLink to send e-mail and serve
web pages from the Rabbit-based target. This isn’t recommended. Z-World offers DeviceMate as a
better-fit solution for those who wish to use Internet services.
3.3.1 Using DeviceMate Features
The DeviceMate feature set has many options, such as watchdogs and message logging, and also
an interface that is easier to use than what is available on the RabbitLink. For more information
about DeviceMate, please visit the Zworld website:
http://www.zworld.com
The DeviceMate software may be downloaded to the RabbitLink to replace the RabbitLink firm-
ware.
3.3.2 Using RabbitLink Features
RabbitLink console commands may be used to send e-mail and serve web pages. A complete list
of the available commands are in Appendix E, “Serial Console Commands.”
Prior to Dynamic C 7.20, a console API existed for target applications to send console commands
to the RabbitLink. Please see Appendix E.6, starting on page 39 for API function descriptions.
Starting with Dynamic C 7.20, the console commands are sent to the RabbitLink through the serial
port interface.
