Amiga One X 1000 and Xena/Xorro

That's interesting that XC hasn't been opened up. Their stated plan was that they were going to open it up soon after they finalized the lang spec and that was right around the corner. That was a few years ago. I think the situation here is that nobody really cares so they haven't put any time into doing that.

I think that trying to kludge together some crap to half-ass get a dev environment for this on OS 4 is a complete waste of time. The audience who would find such a thing interesting is exceedingly small and they'll drop it at the tip of a hat the moment they try the official tool chain and development suite on a real computer. The XMOS tools for working with this family of micro controllers is first class, free and one of the highlights of utilizing these chips. The A1X1K motherboard has an XTAG port, right? If so, why on earth would anyone not use the excellent tools on a PC or Mac?

Would the dev environment run under emulation (eg Bochs) on an X1000?

I don't have any experience with AOS 4. (don't own any of the kit that would run it). I've use the XCore micro controllers in several projects and a few years ago I setup XP in QEMU and had the tool chain running in the VM. Where I worked at we archived projects along with appropriately setup VMs so that if some time down the road something needs to be addressed, we don't have to worry about wasting time rebuilding ancient dev environs. Worked fine, wasn't hard to setup. I never ran any of the debugging tools, i.e. didn't try to use it with an XTAG over USB.
