Before you venture into using the DM3730, there are a few things you should consider. Is your customer going to use the DSP? If not, then the BBB is essentially the same without the DSP. If they need the DSP, what are they going to use for IPC between the DSP and Linux? SYSLINK doesn¹t work on the 3.x kernels and RPMSG isn¹t supported on the OMAP3. If they want DSP, consider OMAP4 or OMAP5. These boards are a little more expensive, but somewhere between $150 and $300.
