Thanks Fats,

I am a little surprised that more people have not researched XCore and the XMOS chips in detail, since they are included in the newest flagship of the AmigaOne line.

I know not everyone can afford one, but I thought maybe some of the X1000 beta testers could comment on what the XMOS chips is and what it can and cannot do, without infringing on their NDA's with A-Eon.

Just a general statement or two about how they differ from FPGA's, since both appear to be programmable chips.  One using VHDL, or Verilog and the other using the "C" language with X extensions to program them.

I guess the people that know are too busy to be reading this thread.  I will have to do more research on my own, but was hoping one of the experts would chime in.

Where are you Steve Solie?  You might not be an expert on XMOS, but I'll bet you can shed some light on my questions.


speaks lengths about how much it is worth, anticipated and generally demanded, especially on amiga related hardware, doesnt it? i would steer clear as far as possible. there is troubles enough without it.
