how to access XTAG-4?

Post by HerbieSundiver »

Hi,
I need help for the very first steps. (Yes I tried the search function of this forum but it does not work at all...)

I have a XK-EVK-XU316 (with the onboard XTAG-4) and I have installed the latest tools:
$ xcc --version
xcc: Build 19-198606c, Oct-25-2022
XTC version: 15.2.1

xcc in bash seems to work, but xrun -l gives me:
$ xrun -l
Fatal error: XMOSXTAG3 Windows Service is not running. This is installed by the XMOS xTIMEComposer installer and configured to start automatically. Check it is running.
Available XMOS Devices
----------------------
No Available Devices Found

Is there a separate driver somewhere?
I am on a native Win11 machine.

Thanks in advacnec for your help,
Bert

I think this problem may occur on non-English language installations of windows 11:

Yes, that is what I thought. So I went through all the jungles of trying to get it to run on a native Ubuntu (not straight forward at all) and then trying in virtual machines using Ubuntu and Fedora (even less straight forward).
BUT: I managed to at least have it running!
I really wish XMos' docu would be more up to date and had less errors...

I think I will do a step by step docu, maybe someone can also have use of it.

...or even better: Maybe XMos makes a nice packaged IDE to make work more efficient, fast, easy, nice :-)
