Thanks for the information. That's very helpful. Fortunately I work for a company that can build a SOM. I've heard from others too that a GPU is also the way to go. However, I also have a requirement to make the SOM be Widevine 1.0 compliant - and by that I meant the SOM needs to support secure tran...

Does anyone have any experience using XMOS processors to encode/decode video streams? I'm researching a new solution for encoding/decoding 4K video (H.265).

Thanks.

So it's just a matter of time then before someone tries to test that theory. :-) LOL I've finally had the opportunity to pick up the pace on my XMOS work and I have to tell you that the Slicekits are great! They have saved me a lot of time, and that's important because every unforeseen hurdle that p...

I ran into this problem again today and was reminded of this - so I'm posting it here in case it helps others: If I use the printf statement and don't have a newline character, the output won't happen: // this won't print anything. printf("Hello world!"); // but this will printf("Hell...

<r>I've got two core boards.  My basic question is this (two parts):<br/> <br/> part 1: when I have two of the same slices (e.g. SDRAM) slice how do I know what ports to assign each device?<br/> <br/> part 2: If I want to move one device to another core board (.e.g. ethernet), do I have to change th...

So is the exciting conclusion that you can't use the SDRAM Demo with StartKit? That's one of the main reasons I got one! .... ... I'm thinking of making an sdram board, but I'd like to know if it's possible to actually make use of it before I go to the trouble. I'm not having any issues starting up...

Hello, did anyone tested the effective bandwidth achievable with this slice card? the doc advertise something like 70MByte in burst write mode. How is this achievable? by writing 8 or 16bit values? if 16bit values, that means that max data transfer between any core and the SDRAM server core is limi...

The Dalvik virtual machine itself is a fairly small C/C++ program. In its current form it takes up about 12kb of space - but that's on a Linux kernel. One part of the project would be to verify whether or not a dalvik VM on an XMOS device would take up more (or less) memory. Also, one part of the pr...

I've been working as an Android engineer for several years now, and I'm pretty familiar with the Android internals - especially Dalvik, the virtual machine that runs your applications. I'm interested in taking a crack at porting the Dalvik virtual machine to run on XCORE architecture, and I would li...

(my slicekit is on backorder ... will be here soon!)
