Hello all,
Has anyone thought about using Inferno (http://www.vitanuova.com) on the xCORE development boards?
Many thanks!
Shane.
Inferno on xCORE
Needs 1MB RAM according to them: http://www.vitanuova.com/inferno/index.html
So I'd add an 8MB SDRAM SliceCARD.
The SDRAM will not be memory mapped so you will have to jump through hoops to get it working, and if you get it working there will be a significant performance hit. I wouldn't really recommend it. Another thought is using the flash overlays, but I am afraid it won't play nice with a preemptive scheduler.
What about a hardline "Styx-on-a-chip" implementation? The Styx (9P2000) protocol can be implemented on small embedded processors, there was a demo on the Lego Mndstorms RCX, and there is an IP-Core implementation floating around for FGPAs and ASICs.
My goal is to run a small algorithm inside of the Styx-on-a-chip, as a payload, with the Styx handling transfers into and out of the XCore chip from the host (the RPi). Simply put, Styx handles the streaming of a real time file acquired by the RPi, and payload processes that file, sending the result back to the RPi.
