XK XS1-G Development System Quick Start Guide (1.1)
1
Introduction
The XDK XS1-G Development System contains everything you need to start exploring
the XMOS event-driven processor technology.
The XDK Development System includes:
•
XS1-G Development Kit (XDK)—the black box with all the electronics and hard-
ware.
•
12V power supply unit and local AC power cable.
•
USB cable—connects your system to the XDK.
•
XMOS Link cable (x 2)—connects the XDK to other devices using XMOS Link
sockets. XMOS Link cables have the same form factor as Ethernet cables, but are
crossover cables that can only be used for linking to XDK XMOS Link sockets.
