3.5  Upgrading Dynamic C

Dynamic C patches that focus on bug fixes are available from time to time. Check the Web 

sites

•

www.zworld.com/support/

or

•

www.rabbitsemiconductor.com/support/

for the latest patches, workarounds, and bug fixes.

The default installation of a patch or bug fix is to install the file in a directory (folder) dif-

ferent from that of the original Dynamic C installation. Z-World recommends using a dif-

ferent directory so that you can verify the operation of the patch without overwriting the 

existing Dynamic C installation. If you have made any changes to the BIOS or to libraries, 

or if you have programs in the old directory (folder), make these same changes to the 

BIOS or libraries in the new directory containing the patch. Do not simply copy over an 

entire file since you may overwrite a bug fix; of course, you may copy over any programs 

you have written. Once you are sure the new patch works entirely to your satisfaction, you 

may retire the existing installation, but keep it available to handle legacy applications.

3.5.1  Upgrades

Dynamic C SE and TSE (Special Edition) versions are designed for use with select Rabbit 

products, and are included free as part of our low-cost development kits. Dynamic C SE is 

a complete software development system, but does not include all of Dynamic C Premier’s 

features and upgrade path. Dynamic C Premier includes the popular 

µ

C/OS-II real-time 

operating system, as well as PPP, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and other select 

libraries. Dynamic C Premier includes a one-year maintenance agreement for telephone 

tech support and an upgrade path for all new releases. Serious users and OEMs are encour-

aged to buy Dynamic C Premier.
