This year, Santa Claus has arrived at home a week before christmas.

XMOS has sent to me a free gift: the startkit!

As soon as possible I'm going to give a try to this fantastic board, in the meanwhile I want to share with you the unpacking of the startkit.

The startkit has arrived packaged in a booklet box like some old shipments from Apple Computer. I'd like it a lot cause I'm a retro computing lover!

When you'll open the box, you find the board and some interesting info about the boad itself.

The board is clean and it seem enough strong to resist to me and my tests.

The startkit, with all other hardware, provides two sliders, a push button and a 3×3 matrix of leds. These devices allow you to start programming the system in few minutes.

Now I'm going to write some programs for this board!

See you soon!
