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.
RCM5700 Ethernet upgrading - rmcdonld - Nov 5 12:09:03 2009
I'm wondering if anyone has developed a method of upgrading the firmware in the field
through Ethernet on the RCM5700?
Since the devices my company supplies are used outdoors and often at remote sites throughout the world, the RFU is not a reasonable solution for upgrading the firmware.
Just looking for what other people may have done to solve this problem.
Thanks.

Dynamic C 10.54 included a "RemoteProgramUpdate" library and samples
that work with a lot of the 4000/5000 products, but the RCM5700 isn't
on the list of supported products (RCM4200, RCM4300 series, RCM4400W,
RCM5400W series, RCM5600W series, RCM5750, BL4S100 series, BL4S200
and BL5S220).
But, Dynamic C 10.56 has references to an RCM5750 as a supported
module in board_update.lib. There's even a description of it in the
"Targetless Compile" list of boards. Maybe you should ask your sales
rep if this is an upcoming product that you should evaluate for your
project.

Thanks for the info. I just got an email telling me the RCM5750 and RCM5760 will be coming
soon. They both support RPU.
