Architecture Information

The Propeller P8X32 chip is a multicore microcontroller. It has 8 cores, called Cogs, 32k of shared RAM, 32k of ROM, and 32 I/O pins.
The Cogs each have their own local memory, and share access to the 32k Hub memory. They also share access to the 32 I/O pins. They, also, each have their own pair of user configurable counters with PLLs and a Video Generator that aids in driving either NTSC/PAL or VGA video outputs.
Hub RAM - 32K Ram shared by the Cogs
Cog RAM - 512 Longs local memory per Cog
Oscillator - Options and Over-Clocking
Interrupts - Handling 'external signal events'
Video Generator - Output Video signals
