Discussion Groups | Rabbit-Semi | Programming Cable
This is a group for folks designing and programming embedded systems using the Rabbit Semiconductor C-programmable microcontroller. Rabbit Semi is a spin-off from Z-World who makes a variety of embedded modules and tools. This group is not affiliated with either Rabbit or Z-World, but is a user forum for sharing ideas, asking questions, flaunting knowledge, and other typical user group stuff. The Rabbit is a powerful uC, supported by a full-featured C-compiler.
Programming Cable - fairy_dave - Mar 21 6:47:03 2008
Hi all,
Is there a way of determining if the programming cable is attached to
the Rabbit? I'm trying to set up some code which will only run when the
cable is plugged in like extra debug output, etc which is not needed
during normal operation.

Re: Programming Cable - Alexis - Mar 21 9:26:40 2008
I don't think so Dave. When the cable is connected in Diag mode it
simply acts as a level converter.
I think the only way to do this is to set an input on the board.

You can look at the slave port control register, that has the value of
the SMODE pins. Will be 0 if the cable is not connected.
There also os an OPMODE variable. DC uses it:
if (OPMODE & 0x08) {
... debug code here ...
}

Just curious, why bother with the shift right 5? Why not just use the
appropriate mask, 0x60?

Re: Programming Cable - Alexis - Mar 21 11:55:36 2008
I thought that when you connected the programming cable with the
Diagnostic side that Smode 0 and Smode1 are pulled low.
This starts the cold loader built into the Rabbit. How do you then use
monitor the serial port A and only transfer data out it when the cable
is connected?
Is the rabbit not expecting a download? Is this not the purpose of Smode
0 and 1?
I thought that the question asked was to print data out of a rabbit
which is normally executing it's program.
Please explain.
