RabbitLink (EG2110)
C.1.1 Pinouts
Figure C.1.1-1 shows the pinouts for the RJ-45 Ethernet jack and the two programming headers on
the RabbitLink board.

C.2 Serial Communication
The RabbitLink uses 2 serial ports of the Rabbit 2000 microprocessor.
C.2.1 Serial Programming Ports
The RabbitLink board has two 10-pin programming headers labeled J8 and J9. The
PROG IN
(J8)
header uses the Rabbit 2000’s serial port A for communication, and
PROG OUT (J9)
uses serial
port B. The Rabbit 2000 startup-mode pins (SMODE0, SMODE1) are presented to
PROG IN
so
that an externally connected device can force a start-up in an external bootstrap mode when the
PROG
connector on the programming cable is used.
NOTE: Refer to theRabbit 2000 Microprocessor User’s Manual for more infor-
mation on the bootstrap mode.
The
PROG IN
header is used with the
DIAG
connector on the programming cable to configure net-
work addresses for the RabbitLink. This connection transmits information to and from a PC run-
ning a terminal emulation program. The
PROG IN
header is also used with the
PROG
connector on
the programming cable. With this connection, you can download firmware to the RabbitLink and
also reset default network addresses.
The
PROG OUT
header is connected with the program download cable to the programming port of
the Rabbit-based target. This connection allows the RabbitLink to transmit information to and
from the Rabbit-based target. A network-enabled PC running Dynamic C or the RFU communi-
cates with the RabbitLink using the RabbitLink’s Ethernet connection. These 2 connections give
you the power to remotely download and/or debug an application on a Rabbit-based target.
