Resources
Each core on the XS1-G4 has access to:
- 64 KByte of RAM
- 64 I/O pins that can be accessed using 28 ports: 16 ports access 16 single pins, the other 12 ports access nibbles, bytes, and words of pins.
- 32 channel ends; each channel end can be connected to another channel end setting up a uni directional communication path. Two channels can be set up to point to each other creating a bi directional path.
- 10 timers
The total number of data pins on an XS1-G4 is 256, requiring a 512-pin BGA to bring out all pins (including ground, power, and system pins). The 144 pin BGA only brings out 48 pins of two cores, effectively providing two cores for processing only, and two cores for both processing and I/O.

Famous quotes containing the word resources:
“But, with whatever exception, it is still true that tradition characterizes the preaching of this country; that it comes out of the memory, and not out of the soul; that it aims at what is usual, and not at what is necessary and eternal; that thus historical Christianity destroys the power of preaching, by withdrawing it from the exploration of the moral nature of man; where the sublime is, where are the resources of astonishment and power.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I am willing to pledge myself that if the time should ever come that the voluntary agencies of the country together with the local and state governments are unable to find resources with which to prevent hunger and suffering ... I will ask the aid of every resource of the Federal Government.... I have the faith in the American people that such a day will not come.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“We live in a time which has created the art of the absurd. It is our art. It contains happenings, Pop art, camp, a theater of the absurd.... Do we have the art because the absurd is the patina of waste...? Or are we face to face with a desperate or most rational effort from the deepest resources of the unconscious of us all to rescue civilization from the pit and plague of its bedding?”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
