Hi,
what resources and documentation would be a good start to write my own assembler for the xmos? Also is the new 200 processor fully compatible with the one on slicekit?

The XCORE-200 slicekits are compatible with XCORE-200 and the older L-series slicekits are compatible with XS1

is there a big difference between XS1 and Xcore-200? In terms of programming the two are there any differences in programming such as different instruction set or new instructions etc?

Yes its a different instruction set, moreover XCORE-200 supports dual issue and additional instructions compared to XS1. I'm not sure if mutual instructions have the exact encoding or not but you can easily confirm that comparing with the XS1 architecture document.
