Also included in the kit is the printed book "Inside the XGS 16-Bit". This enormous user manual and programming guide takes you from opening the box, installing the tool chain, to developing applications yourself in no time! The book begins with discussions of the hardware of the XGS 16-bit for those more technically minded, then the book traverses the many APIs and libraries we have developed for you to program the XGS 16-Bit yourself. All libraries are written in easy to understand C/C++ with ASM drivers for heavy lifting like graphics and I/O. Fear not though, there are numerous examples and demos that show how to use the XGS 16-Bit to its fullest potential included graphics, sound, games, keyboard, SD interface, serial communications and much more. The main board has the following features:
- PIC24 16-bit next generation processor with 256K FLASH / 16K SRAM running at over 40 MIPS!
- 3.3/5V Dual Supplies
- VGA
- NTSC/PAL with color generation helper hardware
- Micro SD card interface
- Serial port
- ISP and JTAG programming ports
- PS/2 keyboard/mouse port
- Expansion port header exporting numerous I/O, power, and signal lines for experimentation
- 3.3/5V internally regulated supplies
- Two game controller ports (Nintendo compatible)
