I have played with these some years ago. They are quite an interesting product.
They have 3 to choose from.

XS1-L1, 8 core processors @ 400MIPS or 500MIPS
XS1-L2, 16 core processors @ 800MIPS or 1000MIPS
XS1-G, 32 core processors @ Up to 1600 MIPS

So, hazarding a guess here, it’s essentially an FPGA with multiple soft cores and configurable I/O peripherals, usable without VHDL/Verilog?

Interesting.

@ godefroi,
i dont know whats under the hood of it. I used the XS1-L1 before and its amazingly fast. The tool set is free, and very user friendly.
Debugging and uploading code is a breeze.

Pretty affordable for having all that power.

@ jdal -

hi,

I have tried your example “Using Adobe Flex to have Live data on Web Site” from “Codeshare”.

After running the programm, where can I see the " live data"?

What is the preparation before I run the programm?

@ workhard10.

point you browser to the devices IP it automatically opens the live data site.

As for the second part of your question, I left .netmf not to long after this, and really dont remember much about it, i am sorry.

So… could this be used for a gadgeteer mainboard?? would it be any good??

@ HughB

I used it on a cobra board. I would imagine it could be used on anything with an Ethernet interface.

@ jdal -

I have tried it, but not successfull.

have you installed something for project like " Adobe Flex"? I have just downloaded your project and run it.

It seems that I need some special “Resource” (see picture).

@ workhard10

I dont know what to tell you. On code share those files are all there. I just dont remember enough to help you get the files on codeshare to where they need to be in your project. I am sorry, I dont use VS anymore, so its mostly all forgotten about.
