The following sections describe the hardware platforms that support development
with the XMOS USB Audio software framework.
2.1 xCORE-200 Multi-Channel Audio Board
The XMOS xCORE-200 Multi-channel Audio board
plete hardware and reference software platform targeted at up to 32-channel USB
and networked audio applications, such as DJ decks and mixers.
The Multichannel Audio Platform hardware is based around the XE216-512-TQ128
multicore microcontroller; an dual-tile xCORE-200 device with an integrated High
Speed USB 2.0 PHY, RGMII (Gigabit Ethernet) interface and 16 logical cores deliver-
ing up to 2000MIPS of deterministic and responsive processing power.
Exploiting the flexible programmability of the xCORE-200 architecture, the Multi-
channel Audio Platform supports either USB or network audio source, streaming 8
analogue input and 8 analogue output audio channels simultaneously - at up to
192kHz. Ideal for mixing two sources and providing main and headphone monitor
output feeds.
For full details regarding the hardware please refer to xCORE-200 Multichannel
Audio Platform Hardware Manual
The reference board has an associated firmware application that uses the USB
Audio 2.0 software reference platform. Details of this application can be found in
section §6.6.
