8 core dsp board for $15

It does not only look good, it's a *very* good idea.

By the way, the XS1 is not really a DSP, it more a microcontroller with serious DSP capabilities (it has a 32x32 multiplier with MAC instruction which is extremely good, but most of the instruction set is more oriented to general processing rather than signal processing)

 

Now, the idea of this board is excellent, because the XS1 are painful to use by amateurs. It has a ground pad under the chip which must be soldered, and this requires oven soldering...

 

I am discussing with Thorsten since a long time about the idea to port the MIOS on XS1, but we were blocking on the soldering problem. Now, it seems to be solved... and MIOS may exist very soon on the XMOS target.

It will take some time at my side until I will be ready to jump on the train, but I already found a very interesting usecase for this board:

-> concurrent emulation of 8 SIDs for MIDIbox SID (V2 and also V3?)  :tongue:

 

Best Regards, Thorsten.

f0plugins contains a sid emulator for supercollider

i expect sc could be built for this chip (edit - i've emailed xmos and asked nicely if they'll build sc - no idea if they will or not, but would be a great way to demo their boards)
