The XMOS advantage - designing with XMOS video
jason

David May, CTO of XMOS explains the advantages to the developer when designing products that utilise XMOS processors. Go from idea to product in days or weeks, rather than months or years. How is this possible? Watch this video to find out.

XMOS is transforming the way in which electronic products are designed. Its revolutionary event-driven multicore processors make it easy to build systems entirely in software. With XMOS, hardware is software. XMOS offers the fastest route from idea to product, dramatically reducing costs and time to market. XMOS’s customers range from students to entrepreneurs to designers in leading electronic brands. To learn more about XMOS solutions, and try out our free development tools, visit www.xmos.com

Projects can now link to SourceForge or GitHub

Projects can now link to SourceForge or GitHub

Just a quick announcement to say that XCore Exchange projects now support linking to 3rd party sites such as SourceForge or GitHub, should you wish to take advantage of more advanced source control/collaboration features that these sites provide. You can do this by editing your project and specifying a URL in the "Sourceforge/GitHub URL" field.

Please note that if you do choose to do this, then your project's download link will point to this new URL, rather than any zip files you may have uploaded previously and downloads will not be tracked by XCore Exchange. If at any point you wish to go back to the XCore Exchange system, simply delete the URL you specified by editing your project again.
