Jackrabbit (BL1800)

1.2  Development Software

The Jackrabbit uses the Dynamic C development environment for rapid creation and 
debugging of runtime applications. Dynamic C provides a complete development environ-
ment with integrated editor, compiler and source-level debugger. It interfaces directly with 
the target system, eliminating the need for complex and unreliable in-circuit emulators.

Dynamic C must be installed on a Windows workstation with at least one free serial USB 
or COM port for communication with the target system. See Chapter 3., “Software Instal-
lation & Overview,” for
 complete information on installing Dynamic C.

1.3  How to Use This Manual

This 

Getting Started

 manual is intended to give users a quick but solid start with the Jack-

rabbit. It does not contain detailed information on the hardware capabilities or the 
Dynamic C development environment. Most users will want more detailed information on 
some or all of these topics in order to put the Jackrabbit to effective use.

1.3.1  Additional Product Information

Detailed information about the Jackrabbit will be found in the 

Jackrabbit (BL1800) 

User’s Manual

, provided on the accompanying CD-ROM in both HTML and Adobe PDF 

format.

TIP:

We recommend that anyone not thoroughly familiar with Z-World embedded con-

trol systems at least read through the rest of this manual to gain the necessary familiar-
ity to make use of the more advanced information.

1.3.2  Additional Reference Information

In addition to the product-specific information contained in the 

Jackrabbit (BL1800) 

User’s Manual

, several higher level reference manuals are provided in HTML and PDF 

form on the accompanying CD-ROM. Advanced users will find these references valuable 
in developing systems based on the Jackrabbit:
