How It Works

Most of the Embedded Xinu supported platforms do not have the ability to directly sample analog signals or analog waveforms from digital bitstreams. Likewise, typical digital signal processing (DSP) chips lack Ethernet networking hardware and protocol support. XinuPhone pairs a simple external sampling module with a network-enabled Embedded Xinu backend in order to provide both functionalities.
