The XC-2 Ethernet Kit provides a fast and cost effective route to implementing and testing XCore-based design ideas that connect to a 10/100 Ethernet system using an RJ45 socket.

The XC-2 is featured here as it will potentially be used for some projects in the XMOS Challenge that require some form of ethernet connectivity.
