XLinks - Communicating amid XMOS processors - David May, CTO XMOS

Discuss this video with our community at www.xcore.com Join David May, CTO of XMOS as he goes over some of the key concepts behind "Xlinks" and the variety of methods you can use to connect them between our processors. Typically designed to be connected via tracks on a circuit board (like our XMP-64, a 25.6 GIPS development board which uses 16 quad-core XMOS processors), however inter-board connectivity can also be established using sockets (like on our XK-1 boards) or by using flexible connections. Xlinks allow communication between threads on any number of XMOS processors in a speedy manner. Even better, the programmer does not have to worry about where everything is as the hardware will automatically deal with routing to ensure you get to right processor for you. AboutXMOS XMOS is the leader in event-driven processors™ for digital electronics. XMOS event-driven processors ™ are high performance, predictable, processors. They allow complete systems to be implemented in software using interface, DSP and control code. XMOS is an enabling technology for the Open Source Hardware community. Designs, including USB, Ethernet, and SD-RAM controllers are available in an ever-expanding library of open source code. Free to download, the XMOS development tools are supported by a vibrant community of digital designers and software engineers. XMOS is based in Bristol, UK, Sunnyvale, CA, and Chennai, India with sales offices and representatives across the world. See http for more ...
