XMOS Simplifies Audio System Design with Real-time Debugging Tools

huw — Tue, 01 May 2012 08:24:12 +0000

Bristol, UK and Burlingame, Calif. (March 9, 2012) – XMOS®, developer of the industry’s first event-driven 32-bit embedded processor, announces the release of its new XMOS Development Environment (XDE) tool suite with enhanced support for real-time system design.

Audio interfacing and signal processing systems require low-latency transport and predictable processing of data. To address this need, XMOS development tools incorporate the unique XScope and XMOS Timing Analyzer (XTA), which allow designers to verify functionality, meet timing and tune audio processing. The tools also include updated compilers for C, C++ and XC, a multi-core debugger, simulator and flash programmer, and are accessible from the command line.

XScope real-time instrumentation exports user-specified data from the target device using an XMOS-powered High Speed USB 2.0 debug adapter. XScope can capture up to one million samples per second and visualize them in a software oscilloscope on the host; fast enough to monitor high-quality multi-channel audio at sample rates of 192kHz.

The unique XTA tool statically analyzes software and accurately reports execution times, enabling hard real-time systems to be developed quickly and easily. The tool not only allows timing to be closed on interfaces, but also guarantees timing for audio signal processing functions, ensuring samples are never dropped.

"Designing embedded systems is becoming increasingly challenging, with more stringent requirements on functionality and timing, and ever more complex software," said Mark Lippett, XMOS vice president of engineering. "This new release of the XDE makes it even easier to rapidly develop and maintain differentiated embedded systems using XMOS devices. Tool advancements are allowing an increasing number of XMOS users to take products from prototype to production weeks, and sometimes months, faster than alternative approaches."

Pricing and Availability

XDE release 11.11 software development tools are immediately available for Microsoft Windows, Apple OSX and Linux operating systems and include support for the latest XS1-S High-Speed USB integrated devices.

The development tools are available for download, free of charge, at www.xmos.com/products/development-tools.

XMOS First in Industry to Move AVB Software Into Open Source

migueljds — Tue, 24 May 2011 12:56:02 +0000

Drives collaborative development of standard media streaming between A/V devices

Bristol, UK and Burlingame, Calif. (May 24, 2011) â€“ In a move to accelerate the adoption of the AVB (Audio Video Bridging) standard into a wide range of media devices, XMOSÂ®, developer of the industryâ€™s first event-driven 32-bit embedded processor, is immediately transferring its entire AVB software reference design into the XCore Open Source Project (http://github.xcore.com). This is the industryâ€™s first open source implementation of the popular audio/visual streaming over Ethernet standard.

The AVB software implementation has been optimized for high performance audio end-nodes based on XMOS event-driven embedded processors. AVB protocols, digital audio interfaces and control software have all been integrated into a single low cost device. The XMOS open software has been extensively tested for A/V device interoperability in customer products and at AVnu Alliance plugfests.

"XMOS' decision to place their AVB protocol software into the open source realm will only make that solution more viable. One of the great promises of AVB was that, as an IEEE standard, AVB was non-proprietary and available to everyone without licensing costs. This move by XMOS finally makes that promise a reality, and should be a tremendous help moving AVB acceptance forward," said Mike Sims, director of marketing and sales for Attero Tech.

"The availability of the XMOS open source version of the AVB software is a key sign that the media interconnect standard is maturing and rapidly establishing itself as a force in the market. Industry collaboration on the open standard will enable companies to focus resources on developing highly differentiated products," said Robert Boatright, director of research at Harman International.

The XCore Open Source project contains a wide range of XMOS and developer contributed software-based peripherals, applications, hardware reference designs and tools. The entire AVB application is made available under a license derived from the University of Illinois/NCSA Open Source License. This business-friendly license enables developers to decide which hardware and software enhancements to contribute back to the XCore Open Source project. All proprietary developer code is fully protected.

XMOS will be exhibiting reference platforms using the AVB open source software at the upcoming InfoComm trade show, June 15-17 in the AVnu pavilion, booth #383C. A video discussing the importance of the XCore Open Source Project may be viewed at http://www.xmos.com/videos.

About the XCore Open Source Project

The XCore Open Source Project has been set up, as a community, to create a comprehensive set of software, hardware designs and tools that enable great ideas and businesses to thrive on XMOS event-driven technology. The program is officially sponsored by XMOS as a true open-source project. Contributions to the library have been made by XMOS, customers, universities and volunteers.

Hunter Technology Selects XMOS Embedded Processors To Power AVB Standards Based Train Audio System

huw — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Bristol, UK and Burlingame, Calif. (March 29, 2011) â€“ XMOSÂ®, developer of the industryâ€™s first event-driven 32-bit embedded processor, announces that Hunter Technology will be using its products to deliver digital audio communication systems for use in train cars. The embedded processing solution, built on the new Audio Video Bridging (AVB) standard, will allow passengers to receive important audio messages that can be directed to specific cars in the train. The system implements complete two-way audio enabling passengers to communicate directly with the conductor or other train personnel in case of an emergency.

"We are pleased to partner with XMOS to give train cars a high performance digital audio two-way communications solution," said Chan-kyu Park, senior design engineer, Hunter Technology. "We selected XMOS because the company's event driven processor was easy to use and their complete AVB reference design enabled us to get our product to market much faster than using our previous microcontroller designs. The XMOS architecture will give us a competitive edge in cost and overall product flexibility."

Traditionally, Hunter Technology has used an analog audio system with bundles containing hundreds of individual wires to carry audio information to every car in the train. The high cost of wire, increasing manufacturing complexity, installation labor cost and analog system maintenance cost had Hunter looking to implement their next generation system using digital technology.

With the new AVB standard, the large bundle of analog wires is replaced with a single Ethernet cable. Multichannel audio content is transmitted to each train car over the same cable as the trainâ€™s other digital data. Using the AVB standard greatly reduces implementation cost and simplifies system design. Each train car can use up to 32 XMOS embedded processors to deliver high quality two-way digital audio throughout the passenger area.

Pricing and Availability

The XMOS AVB Audio Endpoint Reference Kit is based on powerful dual-core XMOS embedded processors. Each low-cost hardware kit includes two 100Mbit endpoint boards with high quality clock recovery. Each XMOS powered board has two channels of audio in and two channels of audio out. The complete reference kit integrates AVB protocols, digital audio interfacing, system control and signal processing. The hardware kit is available from XMOS for $349. The XMOS AVB software reference design, including all source code, is available free of charge under a royalty free license from XMOS. AVB endpoint solutions based on XMOS processors can be built for less than $10.
