xCORE-200 explorerKIT is an evaluation board for the configurable xCORE-200
multicore microcontroller products from XMOS. It's easy to use and provides lots
of advanced features on a small, extremely low cost platform.
xCORE lets you software-configure the interfaces that you need for your system;
so with xCORE-200 explorerKIT you can configure the board to match your exact
requirements. The xCORE-200 multicore microcontroller has sixteen 32bit logical
cores that deliver up to 2000MIPs completely deterministically, making xCORE-200
explorerKIT an ideal platform for functions ranging from robotics and motion
control to networking and digital audio.
