Software that implements part of an application, such as an Ethernet MAC or Quadrature Decoder. Modules generally do not have any dedicated documentation apart from that provided in the program source. Developers can use the modules as components of their own designs. Developers are responsible for testing the resulting software themselves to ensure production quality.
Software that implements a complete application, such as a MIDI Synthesiser or Web Server, using XMOS chips or development boards. Programs generally do not have any dedicated documentation apart from that provided in the program source. Developers can use the program as-is or can use it as a basis for their own designs. Developers are responsible for testing the software themselves to ensure production quality.
A complete production-ready application, such as Ethernet AVB or LED Tile Controller. The reference design may include all the hardware designs and software components required to implement the application. Developers can use the reference design out-of-the-box with minor configuration, or modify the design as required to fit into their ownapplication . In addition to the hardware and software components, each reference design contains extensive documentation including a user guide.
