1) What's the best way to get started writing code for a custom board - the 'New Project' target dialogue only lists boards that XMOS sell, there's no generic 'this processor' target that I can see. My CPU is an XL216 in TQFP form factor, so perhaps I'd be best off selecting the 'SliceKit (XL216)' board, and customizing it later if necessary ? I think that board is a BGA chip, I don't know if that changes anything... My tools are slightly out of date (14.3.2 rather than 14.3.3, but I didn't see anything in the release notes about a new feature like this. I will upgrade, promise :) I'm just hoping to get this question out there before taking the kid to his Saturday baseball game :)
2) In future, once I'm up and running, I will want to probe for the existence of a connected-via-link second XMOS chip. I'm assuming I can't do that with XN files, since everything seems to be specified for a given project. I would like the board to work both standalone, and to take advantage of the link if it is available, so I need something more dynamic.
Thanks for any help :)
