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!
