XC programming guide

[rp181]

I don't know if this is a problem for everyone, but the code in the XC programming guide does not compile due to an extra space. When I copy-paste into the XDE, there is always a space netween the ':' and the '>' in ":>" or "<:" so it is ": >", and does not compile.

Actually quite a few of the examples don't compile even when you fix the spaces, beware ;-)

Hello

Thank you for letting us know

I am unable to reproduce your problem on OS X + Preview as well as Windows XP + Acrobat Reader 9

If you can provide any additional details, it would help greatly in fixing this. Particularly, your OS version, PDF viewer version and which code segments you are trying to copy and paste

You can reply here or create a support ticket at http://www.xmos.com/support

oops, not the programming guide, but the XC-1A dev kit tutorial, such as page 4. I am on Okular, Archlinux 64bit.

Try the tutorials that are built in to the development tools. They show you how to do the basic stuff.

oh and btw the documentation is quite lacking around XC, especially the special xcore features like channels and ports.(Please xmos give us some more documentation)

Indeed, as the other have pointed out, do try the tutorials - they are great when getting started.

Also, in addition, I shall hopefully be putting up a short video on an introduction to XC - not sure when it will go up yet (hopefully pretty soon), but keep on the look out for when I announce it in the XCore news/front-page.
