For immediate release: September 9, 2004
Breathe new life into your embedded systems with the Ethernet Connection Development Kit.
Davis, Calif - Rabbit Semiconductor
is pleased to announce the release of the Ethernet Connection Development
Kit. The kit provides embedded system designers with a very cost effective
solution to add Ethernet connectivity to new and existing systems. The
Ethernet Connection Development Kit, includes an RCM3720 microprocessor
core module (512K Flash / 256K SRAM / 1MB Serial Flash), development
board with prototyping area, Dynamic C development system and complete
documentation on CD-ROM, serial cable for programming and debugging,
Getting Started manual, and AC adapter.
With the addition of select software modules, the low-cost RCM3720 RabbitCore
becomes the hardware platform for a secure web enabled application.
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 Ethernet Connection Development Kit is available to ship immediately
with a price of $199. Optional software modules also available, starting
at $159.
