LED Reference Design Kit

Support for this board was discontinued on Apr 01, 2011.

XMOS programmable devices can be used to build an Ethernet-based LED Tile system that uses daisychains of 100BASE-T scan boards off a central 100/1000BASE-T Ethernet switch. All requirements are implemented entirely in software using an XMOS XS1-G device.

The LED Reference Design Kit includes an XC-3 scan board preloaded with LED application software and a 16x32 RGB LED module to get you started with developing your LED design. Additional XC-3 scan boards and modules can be easily plugged in to create a complete network.

Each XC-3 can accept video input over UDP on a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet network. Video can be sourced directly from a PC using the open-source video player mplayer included in the LED Reference Design, or from an external data processing engine.

Kit Contents

  • XC-3 with 5V power supply
  • One 16x32 RGB LED Tile with 5V power supply
  • 16-way Ribbon cable
  • XTAG connector with USB cable

The LED Reference Design Kit is available with two Macroblock driver options: non-PWM enabled (MBI5026 - PMW signals are generated in the XCore) or PWM enabled (MBI530 - PWM signals are generated in the driver IC).
