Hi All
I am using Windows XP SP3 (32bit),
and would like to purchase the Khadas Tone Board.
The Khadas Tone Board’s USB chip is: XMOS XU208
Is there a driver for Windows XP for XMOS XU208?
Thank you all
Hello, I do not have an XP installation to test on. However, the package successfully installed on a 32bit Vista machine.
The inf file from the install package, when opened with a text editor, shows support for XP.

This is amazing…
I wonder why in their website, Thesycon do not mention Windows XP…
Thank you for this info
I do not know why it is not mentioned on Thesycon’s site, but Windows XP is also referenced in the Tone Board Users Manual. 
RDFTKV Thank you so much!
Where is the official place to download the driver?
Is it both on khadas.com and Thesycon’s website?
I downloaded the driver from here.
Other info can be found here.
Tone board firmware can be found here.
All above links are Khadas.
Thank you so much.
BTW, Is there a reason to touch the firmware?
Doesn’t a unit that is purchased these days come with the latest firmware like what you can find on the website (the latest there is v1.04)?
Generally not required to touch the F/W, I would think. However, figuratively speaking, something put in to inventory today, will not have tomorrow’s F/W revision. Whether one decides to update F/W will be at the user’s prerogative.
I listed the link to F/W as a general info.
I see.
I really appreciate your help, you helped me decide to buy.
BTW, you’re from the Khadas team?
You are welcome.
I am not an official Khadas Team member, just a long time forum member.
Khadas team is busy to the max at the moment, just helping to fill in.
I understand.
Your help is appreciated.
BTW If I have a small sugegstion regarding the Khadas Tone board, whom should I give it to?
I would like to suggest them to include an Optical SPDIF input too, in a future revision (If they make one…).
The advantage of using Optical SPDIF, is that it gives complete electrical isolation…
Something that a Coaxial doesn’t give…
You could send a message to Khadas staff like Gouwa, tsangyoujun and the team.
I do recall optical SPDIF, as well as balanced outputs, being discussed for a future revision. I am on an old phone now, searching for links is laborious on it. When I get to a PC, I will find that discussion, will be later.
The same signal drives both coaxial and optical SPDIF, I believe it would be possible to DIY add or convert the TB’s coax(RCA) to SPDIF, but don’t quote me on that.
I believe it is possible because of an SPDIF project I did on the VIMs.
Update:
Link to balanced output discussion.
Link to SPDIF discussion.
I went now to their profile pages, here in the forum system,
but it appears that there’s no “Send Message” button there.
So I sent Gouwa an email.
Thank you for the links…
If you click a user’s avatar, a screen will pop up with a message tab on the upper right.
My apologies, I should have pointed that out.
Please keep in mind that they are quite busy at the moment, could effect response time.
No worries, an email has been sent
Thank you for everything…
