How about the AM3874? This is what I was planning on using For Gen2 since it has all the display stuff builtin. According to the technical manual the USB system DOES have a hardware scheduler, checking the details you can turn off packet interrupts if using DMA so it looks like this might be better. If this looks like a better USB architecture to use, I could go with this processor for Gen1 and leave off all the display stuff, just do a quick and dirty Gen1 implementation. If the USB implementations are significantly different enough that there are questions about it's usefullness then it is probably better to use the same processor for both Gen1 and Gen2. The problem is that I think it's going to take an 8 layer board to do the AM3874, that will add a little more cost to the board -- I just checked it's only $6 more per board to go with 8 layer. OK I think I just convinced myself to go with the AM3874 for both Gen1 and Gen2. I'll still check and see if the BeagleBone works with the UAC1, UAC2 etc. If it does that probably means that the AM3874 will probably also work. Unfortunately I have not found out what USB module it uses. I guess I will have to download the linux SDK and find out!
