Hardware Connections
Step 1 — Prepare the Prototyping Board
To facilitate handling the Prototyping Board, snap in the
four standoffs to the four holes at the corners from the
bottom side of the Prototyping Board as shown in
Figure 1.
Step 2 — Attach Module to Prototyping Board
Step 3 — Connect Programming Cable
The programming cable connects the RCM4300 to the PC running Dynamic C to download programs and to mon-
itor the RCM4300 module during debugging.
Connect the 10-pin connector of the programming cable labeled PROG to header J1 on the RCM4300 as shown in
Figure 3. Be sure to orient the marked (usually red) edge of the cable towards pin 1 of the connector. (Do not use
the DIAG connector,
Turn the RCM4300 module so that the mount-
ing holes line up with the corresponding
holes on the Prototyping Board. Insert the
metal standoffs as shown in Figure 2, secure
them from the bottom using the 4-40 × 3/16
screws and washers, then insert the module’s
header J4 on the bottom side into socket
RCM1 on the Prototyping Board.
Press the module’s pins firmly into the Proto-
typing Board socket—press down in the area
above the header pins. For additional integ-
rity, you may secure the RCM4300 to the
standoffs from the top using the remaining
three 4-40 screws and washers.
NOTE: It is important that you line up the
NOTE: The hole at the bottom left of the Prototyping
pins on header J4 of the module
exactly with socket RCM1 on the Pro-
totyping Board. The header pins may
become bent or damaged if the pin
alignment is offset, and the module
will not work. Permanent electrical
damage to the module may also result
if a misaligned module is powered up.
Board is used to mount the RCM4300, so use the
hole immediately above it for the standoff.

CAUTION: You will sense a soft click
once you insert the microSD™ Card
completely. To remove it, gently press
the card towards the middle of the
RCM4300 — you will sense a soft click
and the card will be ready to be removed.
Do not attempt to pull the card from the
socket before pressing it in — otherwise
the ejection mechanism will get dam-
aged. The ejection mechanism is spring-
loaded, and will partially eject the card
when used correctly.
Connect the other end of the programming cable to an available USB port on your PC or workstation.
Your PC should recognize the new USB hardware, and the LEDs in the shrink-wrapped area of the USB
programming cable will flash — if you get an error message, you will have to install USB drivers. Drivers
for Windows XP are available in the Dynamic C Drivers\Rabbit USB Programming Cable\
WinXP_2K folder — double-click DPInst.exe to install the USB drivers. Drivers for other operating
systems are available online at www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm.
Step 4 — Connect Power
Once all the other connections have been made, you can connect power to the Prototyping Board.
First, prepare the AC adapter for the country where it will be used by selecting the plug. The RCM4300
Development Kit presently includes Canada/Japan/U.S., Australia/N.Z., U.K., and European style plugs.
Snap in the top of the plug assembly into the slot at the top of the AC adapter as shown in Figure 3, then
press down on the spring-loaded clip below the plug assembly to allow the plug assembly to click into
place. Release the clip to secure the plug assembly in the AC adapter.
Connect the AC adapter to 3-pin header J1 on the Prototyping Board as shown in Figure 3. The connector
may be attached either way as long as it is not offset to one side—the center pin of J1 is always connected
to the positive terminal, and either edge pin is ground.
Plug in the AC adapter. The PWR LED on the Prototyping Board next to the power connector at J1 should
light up. The RCM4300 and the Prototyping Board are now ready to be used.
NOTE: A RESET button is provided on the Prototyping Board next to the battery holder to allow
a hardware reset without disconnecting power.
