2.5 Where Do I Go From Here?

If everything appears to be working, we recommend the following sequence of action:

1.Run all of the sample programs described in Section 4.2 to get a basic familiarity with Dynamic C and the Jackrabbit’s capabilities.

2.For further development, refer to this Jackrabbit (BL1800) User’s Manual for details of the board’s hardware components.

A documentation icon should have been installed on your workstation’s desktop; click on it to reach the documentation menu. You can create a new desktop icon that points to default.htm in the docs folder in the Dynamic C installation folder.

3.For advanced development topics, refer to the Dynamic C User’s Manual, also in the online documentation set.

2.5.1 Real-Time Clock

If you plan to use the real-time clock functionality in your application, you will need to set the real-time clock. You may set the real-time clock using the SETRTCKB.C sample pro- gram from the Dynamic C SAMPLES\RTCLOCK folder. The RTC_TEST.C sample pro- gram in the Dynamic C SAMPLES\RTCLOCK folder provides additional examples of how to read and set the real-time clock
