4.1 Running Dynamic C
You have a choice of doing your software development in the flash memory or in the static
RAM included on the BL2100. 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.
BL2100s that are special-ordered with 512K flash/512K SRAM memory options have two
256K flash memories. By default, Dynamic C will use only the first flash memory for
program code in these BL2100s. Uncomment the

Dynamic C is an integrated development system for writing
embedded software. It runs on an IBM-compatible PC and is
designed for use with single-board computers and other devices
based on the Rabbit microprocessor.
