That is already further along than I expected. Oh, the beagle is almost entirely 1.8 V signalling, especially directly connecting to the expansion connector, at least according to my reading. > Also, I got an 8g sd card I'll send too that has debian > on it and a running EMC, albeit with no real time kernel. OK, which kernel is that? It seems ARM support on rtai is WAY behind the rest of the develoment, Torsten was saying he'd prefer a 2.6.20 kernel. I doubt that there EVER was a 2.6.20 kernel that will run on the beagle board. But since he will have to recompile the kernel anyway, I guess he can use that kernel if he really HAS to (ugh).
I gather that if I'm not interested in having X running on the Beagle, it is a lot less important on exactly which kernel it is. Well, I am very much anticipating playing with this! It will be interesting to see how neat a job I can do of creating a parallel port wrapper that simulates the PC parallel port.
