From the documentation I understand that the XS1 and XS2 architectures are using the same xConnect llink architecture, which in turn would suggest the possibility to integrate both types in 1 interconnected system.
The Multichannel audio platform has a 2 wire link exposed on the xsys header and the Xtag3 is in essence an XS1 so that suggests the XS1/XS2 mix already works.
Is this possible? An if so, how could a mixed architecture XN file be constructed?

From the XS1 and XS2 device data sheets, my understanding is that the physical layer interconnect (XMOS links) is the same; but the switch on an XS1 device (say a L16 device) is available per tile where as a single xCONNECT switch connects the two tiles on a XS2, say XL216 device.
There are changes in some of the tile configuration and node configuration settings of the device.
Interconnect XS1 and XS2 through xn file is not possible. We may have to try this as using a service or try xCONNECT as hot plug between the two devices.
