This is a proof of concept / hack project created by Henk Muller (XMOS principal technologist).
I'm uploading it on his behalf.
I should emphasis this is not an official XMOS release, it is just a proof of concept idea.

This is a demonstration of a small hack project he put together. The keyboard interfaces through PS2 to an XTAG2, which is also interfacing with an XMOS ipod dock development board.
Both the keyboard input and the ipod touch interface is interpreted by the computer through the XTAG2 (where the HID is) to allow typing and mouse movement on screen.
An extra XTAG is used for debugging the boards.
The ipod app used was just a basic EQ which output through the ipod connector because there was no time to write our an iOS app!
The link to the github repo here is just for the XTAG2 device, as the ipod dock is protected by license.Video:
