> ### 1.3 Optional Add-Ons

> - Plastic enclosure (can be wall-mounted or panel-mounted) with LCD/keypad module that comprises a 122 × 32 LCD graphic display, 7-key keypad, and seven LEDs. The plastic enclosure consists of a base and a cover for an assembly made up of the BL2100 with the LCD/keypad module plugged in.
> - Plastic enclosure base.
> - LCD/keypad module.

> One enclosure base is included with the Tool Kit.

> Further details on these add-ons are provided in Appendix C and in Appendix D.

> Visit Z-World's Web site for up-to-date information about additional add-ons and features as they become available. The Web site also has the latest revision of this user's manual.

> ### 1.4 Development and Evaluation Tools

> #### 1.4.1 Tool Kit

> A Tool Kit contains the hardware essentials you will need to create and use your own BL2100 single-board computer. The items in the Tool Kit and their use are as follows.

> - BL2100 User's Manual with schematics (this document).
> - Programming cable, used to connect your PC serial port to the BL2100.
> - AC adapter, used to power the BL2100. An AC adapter is supplied with tool kits sold in the North American market. If you are using another power supply, it must provide 9 to 36 V DC (13 to 36 V DC if you intend to use the full range of the D/A converter outputs).
> - Demonstration Board with pushbutton switches and LEDs. The Demonstration Board can be hooked up to the BL2100 to demonstrate the I/O and the TCP/IP capabilities of the BL2100.
> - Wire assembly to connect Demonstration Board to BL2100.
> - Plastic enclosure base with mounting screws.
> - Screwdriver.
> - Rabbit 2000 Processor Easy Reference poster.
> - Registration card.
> Figure 1. BL2100 Tool Kit

> #### 1.4.2 Software

> The BL2100 is programmed using version 7.06 or later of Z-World's Dynamic C Premier, an integrated development environment that includes an editor, a C compiler, and a debugger. Library functions provide an easy-to-use interface for the BL2100. Software drivers for TCP/IP, I/O, and serial communication are included with Dynamic C Premier.
