This project is an attempt to learn more about XMOS xCORE-200 multicore microcontroller XE216-512-TQ128 by making evaluation board that would be used as a prototype or building block in some future DIY open source Test & Measurement (T&M) projects. Selected MCU has 16 logical cores divided between two hardware cores (tiles)and include USB 2.0 and RGMII for Gigabit Ethernet. It has the highest pin count that comes in easy to mounting package (not BGA). The evaluation board is based on XMOS evaluation boards and a couple of so-called sliceCARDs.
Evaluation board features:
- PCB dimension: 100 x 85 mm
- Power supply: 12 Vdc with on board regulators for 1 V, 3.3 V (sequenced) and 5 V (for USB host)
- XSYS 20-pin IDC connector for JTAG and real-time debugging (via 2-wire xlink0) with ESD protection
- USB AB-mini 5-pin plug with ESD protection (hopefully can be used for OTG operation)
- Support for RGB 4.3" LCD TFT (40-pin FFC 0.5 mm), 16-bit color space supported
- LCD WLED power supply with brightness control (PWM)
- Resistive touch screen controller (SPI)
- QSPI Flash memory
- 10-pin IDC connector for direct access to Flash memory
- 16-bit I/O port expander with 2 opto-isolated input, 2 opto-isolated outputs, 3 on-board LEDs, 3 TVS protected inputs
- Real time clock (SPI) with supercap backup (Vbat)
- EEPROM (SPI)
- SDRAM (multiplexed address and data bus)
- 20-pin FFC 0.5 mm socket for Riverdi LCD TFT displays (SPI, Audio out)
- Micro SD Card socket (SPI)
- 10/100 Mbit Ethernet PHY with RJ-45 socket
- Low-power audio amplifier
- 10-pin header for cheap W5500 Ethernet module (SPI)
- Reset switch
