Can this be true?

I started to read the Propeller documentation and was immediately surprised to read that the I/O pins can be independent of the hub.

Does this mean that if I wish to do so·I can have one COG just handle an assigned·set of I/O pins and remain completely independent of the other COGs?

It seems quite strange, but I can see where it could be sometimes useful.

Kramer,

·· That is correct...The individual Cogs can have direct access to the I/O lines.· The Hub controls access to the shared memory.

This is getting darn exciting again. I can have one or two COGs tasked together with their own I/O and the other ones involved in a different aspect of things: either tasked in combination or separate.

I suppose that might not be true parallel. But it is a lot of power in one little package.

I just must get my breadboarded version up and running ASAP, even without the EEPROM and MAX3232.

Also keep in mind that each cog has two CTR modules that can also be setup to independently control I/O pins (PWM, etc.). If anything, the Propeller is an I/O monster (good monster, that is).
