Intro to XMOS Multicore Microcontrollers

 

Sponsored By:

  XMOS has an interesting line of multicore (from 6 to 16 logical cores).  The XMOS XCore architecture combines parallel processing, 64-bit DSP functions, deterministic operation, and the ability to implement software-defined peripherals and interfaces.   All students will receive an XMOS StartKit Development Kit  to keep after attending the class!

The What

A 2 hour introduction to the XMOS multicore microcontrollers.  We will cover:

• Intro to the XCore architecture
• Intro to the XMOS development and programming tools
• How to use the XMOS StartKit
• Programming parallel tasks with the XC programming language
• Communicating between threads
• Accessing I/O ports

The Who

The Instructor is:

Bill Jago:

Electrical Engineer with experience with multiple different microcontroller architectures.

The Where

The instruction will take place in the Classroom @ PaxSpace Inc

The Requirements

 

• No specific prerequisites are required
• Basic C/C++ programming knowledge is a plus but not mandatory
• Basic electronics knowledge is also a plus

 

Equipment and Supplies

 

• An XMOS StartKit will be provided to each student
• PaxSpace and/or student owned computers will be used for programming exercises
• XMOS development tools are multi platform (Linux, Windows, OSX), so bring your own laptop if you want to get the tools setup.

 

The Cost

Fees:
