5.1 More About Dynamic C
Dynamic C has been in use worldwide since 1989. It is specially designed for program-
ming embedded systems, and features quick compile and interactive debugging in the real
environment. A complete reference guide to Dynamic C is contained in the Dynamic C
User’s Manual.
You have a choice of doing your software development in the flash memory or in the data
SRAM included on the RCM3200. The flash memory and SRAM options are selected
with the
The advantage of working in RAM is to save wear on the flash memory, which is limited
to about 100,000 write cycles. The disadvantage is that the code and data might not both
fit in RAM.
Developing software with Dynamic C is simple. Users can write, compile, and test C and
assembly code without leaving the Dynamic C development environment. Debugging
occurs while the application runs on the target. Alternatively, users can compile a program
to an image file for later loading. Dynamic C runs on PCs under Windows 2000 and
later—see Rabbit’s Technical Note TN257, Running Dynamic C
User’s Manual
Dynamic C is an integrated development system for writing
embedded software. It runs on an IBM-compatible PC and is
designed for use with Rabbit controllers and other controllers
based on the Rabbit microprocessor. Chapter 4 provides the
libraries and function calls related to the RCM3200.
