X-One (An XC-2 Video Console)

Post by TonyD »

Version: 0.1
Status: Under development
License: Custom Licence
Download: /files/project_builds/XC-2 VGA 0v10.zip

A Xmos XC-2 is found at the heart of the console with the rest of the circuit providing a R-2R video DAC, PWM audio and SD Card interface. Ethernet is provided by the XC-2 card its self. The software kernel is Yvo’s VDP-1 video engine.
The projects history and its development can be found on its page on my blog at:

On my blog you will also find some pictures of a Manic Miner demo running on the console

Cool project for sure.

Very impressive. I like your minimalist DACs too.

thanks for your kind comments - I've started a new group "XMOS Video Interest Group" (XVIG) to push the idea of using Xmos devices for video related projects, please come along and join in.
