SliceKit Lcd Chargen demo

myndideal — Sun, 02 Jun 2013 18:42:26 +0000

This is my first project here. I just started to write something based on official demo.
Features, demonstration of:
8x8 charset, ascii screen memory (part of the lcd rows), double buffered sprite animation. Lcd driving without huge memory (one scanline buffer).

For demostration of using graphics, I use Gimp drawing tool with C text format export function. The sprite was exported in "RGB16 C-Source image dump", then renamed to .h header , replaced the generated base type only,for union type to be easy to access pixels without any runtime conversion. Thats all.

UART hardware flow control

Fri, 24 May 2013 12:15:53 +0000

Controlling the flow of UART using CTS/RTS . implemented on slice kit. just an idea, working on it as a part of my intern at XMOS. it seems sofare control is mch easier. HFC would have been easy if schematics were available. kjfdjfkkd dkfjdjf dfkjdfjf gdf dndf dfmndfdf df dfkdjfkndfd dfjdkn d kdfndk fdkjfdf djkfd df kd dfkjdf djfdfjndf dfkjdf dkfdkjf df djf d df dkj dkj fdkjf dkf djf dk fdf dkf dfd

phalt — Wed, 15 May 2013 14:44:56 +0000

XMOS wins ongoing business from leading German audio brand beyerdynamic, produces unique, high-quality audio solution

XMOS today announces that its XS1-L16A-128 product has been selected for use in beyerdynamic’s newest line of high-quality audio-equipment. Along with beyerdynamic’s innovative product design XMOS’ low-latency, deterministic, multicore microcontroller was the key driving force behind the world’s first Ethernet-AVB-enabled wireless conference-audio system.

XMOS launches xCORE-Analog industrial multicore microcontrollers

phalt — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:21:17 +0000

XMOS today launches xCORE-Analog™, a range of 6, 8, 10, 12 and 16-core multicore microcontrollers optimized specifically for designers of industrial products.

Equipped with an integrated analog-to-digital converter, power management circuitry and a range of timers, the new xCORE-Analog (or 'A-Series') devices will be used in a range of industrial products.

Developers can use the new multicore microcontrollers to quickly develop their products, with a level of multicore compute scaled to their exact requirements.

Engine Cam/Crankshaft Simulator

tonebone — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 23:09:33 +0000

This is an example of how to simulate an engine crankshaft and camshaft hall effect sensor signal using the XMOS XK-1A Development Kit. It has been used to verify a DSpace engine control system. It is nice to be able to quickly generate errors and check how they are evaluated. There is a stub in the code that could also be used to simulate ignition and injector timing. Similar concepts could be used to perform evaluation of an actual camshaft and crankshaft signal.

phalt — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 17:16:44 +0000

Over the past few months the Tools team have been busy writing short HowTo Examples, to help developers find answers to their questions on how to use our tools and program xCORE devices.

The first set of 80 examples are now published, and are available within xSOFTip Explorer. You will see them inside the XMOS Examples folders.

Facebook client

Lele — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 15:11:22 +0000

Minimal XMPP (aka Jabber) client implementation tested with Facebook messaging host
(digest-md5 authentication, no tls connection required).

To use the project you need a Facebook account with at least a friend to talk with.
In module "main.xc" you must set the "XmppHostAddr" with the IP of "chat.facebook.com" (you can ping the URL to get the IP).

In module "XmppClient.c" you must set the account username and password:
static char UserName[41] = "YourFacebookUserName";
static char Password[41] = "YourAccountPassword";

SliceKit Coreboard in Easy-PC

asibbald — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 14:27:30 +0000

An Easy-PC Project and associated Library Files which is an exact reproduction of the XMOS Slicekit Core Board, but in Easy-PC format.

Note that this was done as an exercise to evaluate Easy-PC. Whilst I have checked the design extensively and I'm pretty sure it is correct, I have NOT had the board produced.

Open Source Implementation DSD over PCM

ghmfranken — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 10:31:56 +0000

This project is an effort to implement the DSD over PCM (DoP) open standard (both version 1.0 and 1.1) building on the XMOS software reference (3.3) . The DoP standard describes how a DSD stream can be encapsulated in PCM frames. A white paper describing the standard can be found here (http://dsd-guide.com/sites/default/files/white-papers/DoP_openStandard_1v1.pdf).

Slice Cobbler

Folknology — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 13:56:08 +0000

Slice boards are to small to adequately place breadboards because of their width restrictions (They have to be neighbourly), however you can cobble your pins from the Slicekit to your breadboard providing breakout using some headers, IDC cable and this. This board provides the breakout end of the cobbler that goes into the breadboard. you can use the onboard test headers (I recommend square) by populating them with an IDC male shrouded header. the IDC cable then links the two together.

Patchslice

Folknology — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 00:57:40 +0000

A small prototyping and patching slice board which can be used with the Xmos Slicekit system. This board is ideal for building small experimental projects to test with Slicekit. It is also useful for creating patch boards, adapters and connector boards from the slicekit standards to third party or older Xmos header style connectors.

sha-1 encription routine

colinbroad — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 00:05:06 +0000

Standard sha-1 encryption routine for xmos chip, The current version supports a sigle pass that will handle up to 64 bytes but I can finish it to allow any message size if there is interest.

The routine implements version 2, minimum memory usage. My current application uses a 64 byte salt before a 32 byte challenge and writing my own routine allowed me to pre encode the salt.

Remote control with 500Kbit/s fiber optic

Carpentier — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 03:11:04 +0000

I have realized a small project consisting of a remote control between 2 XK-1A boards. When pressing the buttons on the transmitting card, the leds light accordingly on the receiving card. The link between the 2 cards is one fiber optic (for only remote control) or 2 fiber optics if need duplex communication. The same program runs on the 2 cards and this program contains a transmitter thread and a receiver thread.

Mad Scientist Audio Interface

CivilDecline — Sat, 10 Nov 2012 05:19:45 +0000

So first, been working on this quite some time, the name is a little out there but was deemed "the mad scientist" by a friend quite a while ago and it stuck.

I've been working on this off and on since about oh May of this year(6/12) its come a long way. Thought I'd finally share.

Goal is to get the functionality of a comparable industry standard professional usb audio interface. Without sacrificing oh most of my pay check.

I2C LCD Driver

mnrsmith — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:53:20 +0000

This is a small library to drive an LCD matrix via the I2C bus that I ported from the Arduino code..

It will drive a 20x4 matrix like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190637600054 commonly used by Arduino and should also work with 16x2 etc.

This LCD module includes a PCS8574n I2C interface with a HD44780 matrix driver.

It needs just the two pins for the I2C and can work with the i2c_master or i2c_simple xmos modules.

It is tested and working on the above display.

L2 card with Ethernet or USB part 2

Carpentier — Sat, 20 Oct 2012 23:10:26 +0000

Finally succeded with my XS1-L02A-QF124-C5 processor card and Ethernet.
The card worked perfect immediately.
This card has a dual core processor but is very small (35 x 60mm).
As with the previous card, all IO are 5V on the 25 pin PC compatible IO port and are from core1 . The ethernet and the yellow led on front is on core0.
The power supply iinput is a min B socket with only the VBUS power signal taken from it. It works from a PC port or from a USB charger.

The download include
-part list
-PCB Gerber files
-schematics
-photos

I can provide the PCB for 5USD.
