xs1-l1 network topology booting...

Post by boeserbaer »

I am working on the design of a network of L1 -128 processors. what I have n mind is 1 processor more or less as a switch, 3 links going outbound to strings of L1s, 1 link inbound to another L1 set up to communicate with the host over ethernet, or possibly the same but with yet another L1 with sdram connected as a fifo between the ethernet L1 and the network.

My questions are:
1. How to configure the JTAG strings. I presume I can just connect TDO from string 0 to TDI for string 1 if present, much like XK-1 kits.

2. What happens when I try to start, and different boards on the network are not yet configured, perhaps power has not come on yet for the off board processors (using LVDS connections off board)

Hello Mike, i have more or less the same question as your first.
Thomas Gmeinder from XMOS provided me with this drawing:

It's not yet working with mine four XC-2 Boards. But I started a Topic, you might be interested in:
