I need to replace an RCM3200 in a BL2600 SBC

0 votes
I have a functioning BL2600 board and want to replace the RCM3200.
I have a program that runs fine and downloads OK currently.
When I install the new RCM3200 the program gives me an error 'processor not found' when I Try to load the program.

What is the routine to get this done. I'm not a programmer but have supported the product with the Rabbit in it for years.

You need to change the the write_id block on the RCM3200 from RCM3200 to BL2600. You will need to download the program write_idblock_920_962.c from Digi's website and verify you specify the correct BL2600 you have. You will just need to follow the instructions in the program.

That program is included in Dynamic C 9.62A.

Thanks but I have to get my Doctorate to do this.
Way over my head?

I appreciate the help though.

you can do it, I think you just need to uncomment this line; //#define    MYBOARD BL2600A    // 44MHz RCM3200, 512K flash, 256K+512K SRAM, ethernet

If you read most of the steps in the directions of the write_idblock program most of them are "Optional steps" So you really need to do steps 1,2,14,15 and 16
