Making an 8bit port to be 8 1bit ports?

[narutoxela]

Is there a way to turn lets say an 8bit port in to 8 1bit ports? Maybe using some software on the xmos chip?...

You can always break it up into multiple 1-bit ports (using software, basically AND- and OR bits) as long as the direction is the same. For multi-directional I/O you're relegated to using 1-bit ports.

Take a look at sc_advanced_port_usage on Github for an example of zipping and unzipping individual bitstreams onto a 4 bit port:

Some documentation is available:
