This is a great point. I am not sure if we want to drop the PRU support,
but that is definitely an option I suppose. For those doing your
own products and do not need PRU it is a definite option to consider. There
is no difference in the board design to support this version of the
processor.
If you drop the PRU, the BeagleBoard becomes close to useless for motion
control, breaking LinuxCNC I'm working on, as well as the software being
done by Elias (for Replicape) and Bas (for the BeBoPr).
The PRU is the single largest differentiating factor of the BeagleBone
over the assorted other ARM boards available. Well, that and the fact
that most of the other boards running Linux support full HD video output
and have working GPU acceleration, while the AM3359 has "modest" video
output capability.
I _really_ hope you keep the PRUs!
Couldn't have said it better. The PRUSS makes the board special, drop
the PRUs
and there are many alternatives.
