Richard, I have been working with the BeagleBoard X15 the past four months off and on and have made some good progress in using the DSP cores running SYS/BIOS applications while the A15 cores are running Debian Linux. I develop my DSP programs in CCS and generate Hex files that I can copy to Linux. Then from Linux I have created a DSP_Load application that loads and runs the DSP core with the hex file. To date my DSP program uses Timer 4 as the SYS/BIOS timer and timer 5 as a HWI timer, an external GPIO interrupt (which would be helpful for your external ADCs) and communicates with UART 8, 9 and 10. I teach a Mechatronics class at the University of Illinois where currently I instruct the class using the OMAPL138 processor where I use a very similar Linux program to load the DSP core of the OMAPL138. I am hoping to switch my Mechatronics class to the BB x15 this Spring 2020. Currently I have a student working on developing a DSP program that uses the MCSPI3 and MCSPI4 serial ports of the AM572x. Once I have the McSPIs working and a communication scheme, I hope to use IPC, between Linux and the DSPs I will switch my class to the BB x15. Once I switch my class I will be writing up instructions on how to program the DSPs and that may be useful to you when using the BeagleBoneAI. I can give you what I have done so far, but it is not documented super well. The question I have with the BeagleBoneAI is does it bring out to its headers any of the McSPI pins? I have not looked at the schematics closely to know the answer. You may want to check that and if the pins do not come out you could switch to the BB x15 which has four headers that bring out many more of the pins. If you are interested in my OMAPL138 work you can see my course web site at http://coecsl.ece.illinois.edu/se423
