None at all?

Wow, over a year and a half even I would have expected something, even if it was just a board plugged into the Xorro slot with blinking LEDs. I guess everyone is too busy chasing the new carrot to care.

You clearly haven't been taking your XMOS pills. Let me get you a fix here:

@Piru
...in principle would you be in favour of producing Morphos port for it?

No, I wouldn't. I think we have plenty of better targets to port for, and they're not 400MHz SIMDless systems with fixed tiny storage capacity. Also, the system doesn't have cache coherency, something which MorphOS requires.

This isn't looking so good. Something wrong with the onboard XMOS?

I think the unbelievably daft idea there is that the current Sam4x0 users would want to have XMOS as well...

the dedicated I/O to a standard PCIe mechanical connector as well as access to the PA6T GPIO lines are a nice addition. i actually am planning on using this with my X1000 to build an HF receiver (RF stage, A/D conversion, etc. on PCB attached via the 'xorro' connector, SDR via the 'xena')

I'd be too scared to plug my own PCB to a $3000+ system to be honest. Especially when any damage resulting from the custom HW would most certainly be outside of warranty repairs.
