XMOS provides a new type of programmable component, Software Defined Silicon (SDS), based on an array of high-performance, event-driven processors. Designs are created in high-level languages, delivering hardware performance from a software-based design flow. XMOS devices blend a high-performance processor architecture with a highly responsive I/O structure to provide designers custom silicon that they can use to solve a broad class of design problems.
We have shipped more than 300 development kits with the four-core XS1-G4 device, which supports 32 concurrent real-time tasks and services 400M events/second. Our development kits accelerate design as they offer a complete hardware/software environment with no need to build test boards or evaluation hardware. Supporting web and desktop design tools are available to users free of charge.
The recently launched Xlinkers Community (xlinkers.org) provides a forum for developers interested in XMOS technology to share their knowledge, ideas and code examples. It already has more than 200 registered users.
