Overview: The Vortex is a C'4- board that makes all six on-chip communication prots available to you, allowing direct processor-to-processor communication. An unique feature of the Vortex is its I/O processor, a 'C31. Interfaced to the 'C40 through true dual-port RAM, the 'C31 allows I/O overhead to be removed from the 'C40, freeing the 'C40 for compurational tasks. Vortex/SPOX Systems include a 'C31 I/O system with device drivers for ASPI I/O interfaces including: the AD16 dual-channel 16-bit A-D/D-A interface board; the digital audio interface; and two external units, the serial voice interface, and the serial audio interface. THese drivers provide for the seam-less integration of these deices into C/SPOX programs running on the 'C40, without the need to program the 'C31. The Vortex's flexible I/O and memory architecture makes it easy for users with unique requirements to develop special ann-on boards for the Vortex Board. The host computer's bus, 'C40's memory bus, and 'C31's bus are brought out to connectors on the Vortex Board.
