1. INTRODUCTION & OVERVIEW
The RCM2100 series is an advanced line of modules that incor-
porates the powerful Rabbit 2000
®
microprocessor, flash mem-
ory, static RAM and an RJ-45 Ethernet port, all on a PCB the
size of a business card.
Throughout this manual, the term RCM2100 refers to the complete series of RCM2100
RabbitCore modules unless other production models are referred to specifically.
The RCM2100 modules are designed for use on a motherboard that supplies power and
interface to real-world I/O devices. Up to 40 pins of I/O and four serial ports are available
for system interfacing.
To accommodate a variety of user and production needs, the RCM2100 family includes
versions with varying amounts of onboard memory. Models with and without the Ethernet
port are available, to permit simultaneous development of Ethernet-capable and cheaper
non-Ethernet versions of production systems. All modules within the family are pin-for-
pin compatible and may be installed or swapped in a matter of minutes.
