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 Smart Star CPU cards. 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 95 or later. Pro-
grams can be downloaded at baud rates of up to 460,800 bps after the program compiles.
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, function calls, and sample pro-
grams related to the Smart Star backplane and CPU cards.
NOTE: An application can be developed in RAM, but cannot run standalone from RAM
NOTE: Do not depend on the flash memory sector size or type. Due to the volatility of

flash memory.
the flash memory market, the Smart Star and Dynamic C were designed to accommo-
date flash devices with various sector sizes.
