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:
“Hearing, seeing and understanding each other, humanity from one end of the earth to the other now lives simultaneously, omnipresent like a god thanks to its own creative ability. And, thanks to its victory over space and time, it would now be splendidly united for all time, if it were not confused again and again by that fatal delusion which causes humankind to keep on destroying this grandiose unity and to destroy itself with the same resources which gave it power over the elements.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“The great object of Education should be commensurate with the object of life. It should be a moral one; to teach self-trust: to inspire the youthful man with an interest in himself; with a curiosity touching his own nature; to acquaint him with the resources of his mind, and to teach him that there is all his strength, and to inflame him with a piety towards the Grand Mind in which he lives. Thus would education conspire with the Divine Providence.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“...wasting the energies of the race by neglecting to develop the intelligence of the members to whom its most precious resources must be entrusted, already seems a childish absurdity.”
—Anna Eugenia Morgan (1845–1909)
