[chbot] multicore uP

[Mark Atherton]

Hi All,

I recently acquired a small audio board loaded with an XMOS 
processor, and am now in the process of seeing how useful it might be.

On my travels, this part turned up

http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/XS1-L12A-128-QF124-C10/880-1053-ND/3906765

12 core, 128k RAM, 1000 MIPS, < US$20, apparently with a free tool-chain

Even with marketing hype, this fits into the not-too-bad category in 
terms of MIPS per $$

Anyone used any of these parts ?

Anyone have an XTAG-2 available for loan ?
