XK-1 Development Board Quick Start Guide (1.1)
1 Introduction
The XK-1 is a low cost development board intended for exploring event-driven
XK-1 boards together in a chain and two banks of 0.1" IDC connectors are provided
To program the XK-1 you need to download a set of free Development Tools from
A set of demonstrations is pre-installed on the XK-1 board which you can use to

We recommend that you install the XMOS Development Tools before you connect the
XK-1 to your development system—see Section 3.

for connecting additional components to the XK-1. An XTAG-2 debug adapter can be
used to connect the XK-1 to a USB 2.0 port on a PC, providing a JTAG interface that
can be used to load and debug programs on the board. The XK-1 can be powered
directly from the XTAG-2 debug adapter or from an external 5V power supply.
