Over on a forum thread, I posted a manifesto that I hope will begin the formation of a formal group that will help bring XMOS to a wider audience, while improving quality and collaboration.

http://www.xcore.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6137#p6137

Please go and look at that document, and then join the group linked from there, to take part in the discussion.

Thanks!

Hi,

I thought I had posted this earlier but anyway.......................

Is there any interest in a simple floating point library. Some time ago I started porting the SoftFloat library (J.Hauser) to XC and assembler. I got as far as doing the conversions to and from integer and float as well as basic multiply and divide functions. The next steps would have been addition (subtraction) and square root functions.

If there is any interest in such a library, this would make me a nice winter project.

Today I published our first library, containing two XMOS XS1-L1 variants (64,128). Look at the project for a link to the github repo.

I also have a second repo that has a general set of components I'm using, and also a library called xmossupport, which contains parts found on some of the XMOS reference designs. https://github.com/topiaruss/KiCad-Parts

Good luck. Pull requests encouraged.
