4.5 Upgrading Dynamic C

4.5.1 Patches and Bug Fixes

Dynamic C patches that focus on bug fixes are available from time to time. Check the Web site www.rabbit.com/support/ for the latest patches, workarounds, and bug fixes.

The default installation of a patch or bug fix is to install the file in a directory (folder) dif- ferent from that of the original Dynamic C installation. Rabbit recommends using a differ- ent directory so that you can verify the operation of the patch without overwriting the existing Dynamic C installation. If you have made any changes to the BIOS or to libraries, or if you have programs in the old directory (folder), make these same changes to the BIOS or libraries in the new directory containing the patch. Do not simply copy over an entire file since you may overwrite a bug fix; of course, you may copy over any programs you have written. Once you are sure the new patch works entirely to your satisfaction, you may retire the existing installation, but keep it available to handle legacy applications.

4.5.2 Add-On Modules

Dynamic C installations are designed for use with the board they are included with, and are included at no charge as part of our low-cost kits. Rabbit offers add-on Dynamic C modules for purchase, including the popular ∝C/OS-II real-time operating system, as well as PPP, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and other select libraries.

In addition to the Web-based technical support included at no extra charge, a one-year telephone-based technical support module is also available for purchase.
