how to program blank chips? - XCore ExchangeĪnd here are a couple of PDF file that talks about the basic structure on how to setup the chip. Here's a thread about how to start-up with those chips: Starting up. Unless the user wanted to really mess around with the chip, then a 'XMOS XTAG2 Debug Adapter' would be required. The idea is to make the Arduino board talk to the XMOS chip telling what to do, plus, also upload the data to the SPI Flash, so it wouldn't require any extra tools to program the XMOS chip. Here's a single chip on SparkFun: XMOS Processor - XS1-L1-64 - COM-10109 - SparkFun Electronics Its 32 bits with 64 bits accumulators (no idea on how to use those yet) 64 Kb of RAM (used by the program + variables, AFAIK) and can auto-boot from an external SPI Flash. ( - The cheapest one does 4 x 100 Mhz threads (you can't have a single 400 Mhz thread sadly) or 8 x 50 Mhz Threads.
To combine a regular Arduino and a XMOS chip. Here's a very crazy idea I had the other day, which I still don't know if its doable or not.
