XMOS announced the addition of the xCORE-USB sliceKIT to its family of modular development boards and software. Together with the xTIMEcomposer development suite and xSOFTip software IP blocks, this new kit makes it simple to develop USB-equipped applications on the xCORE-USB range of deterministic, low latency, multicore microcontrollers.
Compatible with the broad range of existing xCORE sliceKIT products, the new development kit allows designers to address a range of demanding applications including high-performance peripherals, audiophile and consumer audio products, sound bars, multi-channel USB audio interfaces, DJ products, USB speakers and protocol conversion and bridging.
Development using the xCORE-USB sliceKIT takes place within the xTIMEcomposer Studio integrated design environment, and uses xSOFTip soft peripherals. This allows developers to employ a unified design flow based on C/C++, of a type that will be familiar to any microcontroller software engineer.
The complete suite of free design tools includes an Eclipse-based integrated design environment, a highly efficient LLVM compiler, debugger, the xSOFTip configuration tool xSOFTip Explorer, a cycle-accurate simulator with waveform view, static timing analyser, and the xSCOPE high-speed in-circuit instrument that provides a virtual logic analyser for real-time applications.
The xCORE-USB sliceKIT core board features two digital expansion slots that can be populated with I/O extension cards (or ‘slices’), a mixed signal slot, and interface for the xTAG debug adaptor. XMOS offers a wide variety of I/O slices in addition to the USB sliceCARD, including Ethernet, UART, ADC, LCD graphics and digital audio, allowing designers to rapidly develop, prototype and debug their designs.
