The Core Board also contains all circuitry necessary for operating and debugging the XMOS system. Multiple sliceKIT Core Boards can be interconnected to form a multi XMOS device system with dual 5-bit xCONNECT Links being present between the boards.
I/Os and Star and Square sliceCARDs 20 xCORE I/Os (usable as GPIO or two 5-wire XMOS links). The label denotes which sliceCARDs are compatible with which Core Board Slots. The sliceCARDs are also marked with one or more of these labels to identify the slot type(s) they function correctly with.

Hardware Manual 5/33 In addition to the four standard sliceCARD slots there is a Mixed Signal slot, labelled A, this slot has access to the 8 ADC channels available on the XS1-A16 device, along with 4 xCORE I/Os and the wake pin. The xCORE I/Os available on the Mixed Signal slot overlap with the Star slot, meaning that if the Mixed Signal I/Os are used then a sliceCARD used in the Star slot may not function.

Hardware Manual 7/33 2.1 Multiple core boards Additional xCORE-Analog or xCORE General Purpose sliceKIT Core Boards can be connected to the first board’s Chain slot via the second board’s Square Slot to add extra processing capability and I/O through extra Slice Cards. The first such board is termed the Master, the remaining boards as Slaves.
Hardware Manual 8/33 SQUARE Figure 3: JTAG Chain CHAIN The use of xSCOPE is covered in the xCONNECT Links section - see Section §2.6. The xSCOPE xCONNECT link can be either enabled or disabled via a switch on the XSYS adapter board.
Hardware Manual 10/33 2.7 Reset The whole system is held in reset until all power supplies are stable, and reset is connected to all Slice Cards so any circuitry on them can be reset. It also indicates to the sliceCARDs that their power input is stable. The reset from the xTAG resets the whole system, if required for debugging.

3 Slice Cards and Slots sliceKIT sliceCARDs are used to implement peripheral circuitry as part of the sliceKIT platform. Existing sliceCARDs may connect to some or all of the Star , Triangle , Square and Circle slots. Their compatibility with each slot is indicated by the range of symbols printed on the sliceCARD silkscreen.
4 Designing a Slice Card IN THI S CH APT ER Power Signal I/O sliceCARD Form Factors Connector Pinouts 4.1 Power sliceCARDs have two power supplies available to them, 5V and 3V3. The 5V supply can range from 4.75V to 5.25V (5%) at a current of up to 0.25A per slice.
Hardware Manual 28/33 Due to the constraints on the sliceKIT Core Board, there are some ports on the sliceCARDs which should be used in preference to others. These constraints are as follows: X0D4-7 can be selected for use as the xSCOPE xCONNECT Link X0D0,1,10,11 could be used for SPI boot on a master core board.
Hardware Manual 29/33 Note that for quick, low cost boards using low cost PCB manufacturing, the chamfer is not required and can be generated by hand using a file or similar. 4.4 Connector Pinouts The pinouts of the four types of sliceCARD are shown below. To cross reference pin numbers (eg.
