Actually getting started!!

Hi,
I guess this is the right forum for someone who has never attempted anything with an XMOS chip before!!
I have bought the XCORE-200 MC AUDIO board as this seems most like what I am eventually hoping to achieve (multi-channel USB audio).
I've installed xTIMEcomposer and downloaded "sw_usb_audio-[sw]_6.15.2rc1" but Wow that is a steep learning curve.
I've tried to go back a step and try the obvious simple stuff such as flashing a LED but I'm strugging to find any SIMPLE example projects to use with this board, I've downloaded the "Getting Started with the xTIMEcomposer-Studio" but that just prints Hello World in the console window and there's no difference between the Simulator or running on a board so how do I know ive compiled, downloaded and programmed correctly?
I tried "xCORE-200 explorer - Simple GPIO" but this is meant for XCORE-200 Explorer Kit and there is no option in the Makefile editor to change it to the board I have. I tried it anyway, it said that it had made successfully and run but when it did my XMOS XJTAG-3 disappeared out of device manager and an "Unknown Device" appeared with no driver to make it work? Luckily a power cycle (of the XJTAG-3) brought it back again.
Can anyone point me at a simple LED flash example for the board I have? or any simple tutorials with a reasonable explanation of what's going on?
I feel that I'm stabbing around in the dark at the moment
Any suggestions gratefully accepted
