XK-1A Development Board Quick Start Guide Document Revision 1.1 Publication Date: 2011/03/29 Copyright © 2010 XMOS Limited, All Rights Reserved. XK-1A Development Board Quick Start Guide 1 2/4 Introduction The XK-1A is a low cost development board intended for exploring event-driven processor designs. It comprises a single XS1-L1 device, 128KBytes SPI FLASH memory, four LEDs and two press-button switches. Two XSYS Connectors let you link multiple XK-1A boards together in a chain and two banks of 0.1" IDC connectors are provided for connecting additional components to the XK-1A. An XTAG-2 debug adapter can be used to connect the XK-1A to a USB 2.0 port on a PC, providing a JTAG interface that can be used to load and debug programs on the board. The XK-1A can be powered directly from the XTAG-2 debug adapter or from an external 5V power supply. To program the XK-1A you need to download a set of free Development Tools from the XMOS website. The tools let you write, load and debug programs on your development board using the XTAG-2. Further information on using the XK-1A and additional resources including the development tools is available from http://www.xmos.com/xk1a. 2 XK-1A Demos A set of demonstrations is pre-installed on the XK-1A board which you can use to test the hardware. Additional demonstrations can be downloaded from the XMOS web site, including an XK-1A tutorial which introduces the key concepts you need to understand when programming the XK-1A board. We recommend that you install the XMOS Development Tools before you connect the XK-1A to your development system—see Section 3. 1. Connect the 20-way IDC header on the XTAG-2 to the left XSYS connector on the XK-1A board. 2. Plug the XTAG-2 into a USB 2.0 connector on your development system. The XK-1A board starts up and flashes the four LEDs in sequence across the top of the board. 3. Press Switch A on the XK-1A to increase the speed that the LEDs flash. 4. Press Switch B to change the order that the LEDs flash.
