Rabbit Semiconductor Introduces Web Development & Security
Software Tools and New RabbitCore Hardware
Davis, Calif., Rabbit Semiconductor is pleased to announce the release of the RCM3300
microprocessor core module. The new RCM3300 and recently released RCM3700
support a software bundle composed of three modules developed to enable
rapid web browser development, provide a secure socket layer for Ethernet
data transfer, and manage on-board serial Flash data.
The
RabbitWeb module is a rapid HTTP/HTML web development
extension that can read and write program variables remotely, while
eliminating complex CGI programming. It also easily creates controls
such as pull-down menus or control buttons on a Web interface while ensuring
valid input values and proper user authorization. RabbitWeb elegantly
indicates input errors for easy correction and most importantly yields
a 10X reduction in CGI programming and debugging time.
The File Allocation Table (FAT) File System module enables a ready to run
serial Flash-based file system. It works with the Dynamic C HTTP server
to reliably update content to the FAT such as databases and web pages.
This module also supports a battery backed wear-reducing cache system to
protect the file system during power loss.
The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) module provides HTTPS Security for 8-Bit
Embedded Devices using the Rabbit 3000 microprocessor. Fast processing
of complex encryption algorithms (up to 120 Kbits/sec) supports HTTPS
with SSL version 3 and Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1. This
module is royalty and license free and includes a digital certificate
creation utility. Existing web applications can be secured with less
than 10 lines of code.
The new RCM3300 and lower-cost RCM3700 RabbitCores are ideal options
for designers who want to rapidly develop and implement secure web browser
enabled embedded systems. The RCM3300 is derived from industrial client
feedback and combines traditional RabbitCore product strengths into one
device. The RCM3300 is fully loaded: Rabbit 3000 @ 44MHz clock, 10/100Base-T
Ethernet connectivity, 4 or 8 MB Serial Flash, 512K Flash, 512K program
execution and 512K data SRAM. 49 digital I/O shared with the 5 serial
ports operate at 3.3 V (with 5 V-tolerant I/O).
Priced from $69 (qty. 1000), RCM3300s are available to ship March 26.
The Secure Embedded Web Application Kit is priced at $499 for a limited
time and includes an RCM3700, RabbitWeb, FAT File System, SSL, and standard
development kit contents. An RCM3300 Development kit without software
modules is priced at $399.
