Modules offer more flexibility with removable hot-swappable memory cards

21 September 2005 DSP, Micros & Memory

The RCM3365 and RCM3375 RabbitCore modules present a new form of embedded flexibility with removable 'hot-swappable' memory cards.

Supporting on-board 16 MB NAND Flash as well as memory cards of up to 128 MB, these RabbitCore modules are highly suited for use in data-intensive applications that require low-power operation.

Derived from industrial client feedback and combining traditional RabbitCore product strengths into one device, Rabbit Semiconductor, the manufacturer, says its new RCM3365 takes microprocessor core modules to the next level.

RabbitCores mount directly on a user-designed motherboard and act as the controlling microprocessor for the user's system. They can interface with all manner of CMOS-compatible digital devices through the user's motherboard. Programs are developed with the company's Dynamic C development system, a C language environment that includes an editor, compiler and in-circuit debugger (Dynamic C is included in all low-cost development kits).

Efficient hardware and software integration facilitates rapid design and development. User programs can be compiled, executed, and debugged using Dynamic C and a programming cable - no in-circuit emulator is required. An extensive library of drivers and sample programs is provided, along with royalty-free TCP/IP stack with source.

In addition to Dynamic C, the FAT File System software module is included with the RCM3365 development kit. Other Dynamic C modules are available to enable the rapid development of secure Web browser interfaces.

This module is ideal for network-enabling security and access systems, remote automation, data logging, and industrial controls when coupled with RabbitWeb, FAT File System and SSL software modules.
