FYI: For those interested in alternate platforms for LinuxCNC, the Altera System on Chip (SoC) FPGAs are finally getting into production. The Xilinx ARM parts have been out for a while, but they're pretty expensive.
Arrow is running a series of hands-on workshops to introduce the SoC parts, and you can get the development board for $99 (normally $299). http://www.arrownac.com/solutions/sockit/ Dual ARM Coretx-A9 cores with hard floating-point, plus FPGA gates!!! NOTE: My primary development platform is still the BeagleBone, but these new SoC parts could make a pretty awesome system if you need more performance than the 'Bone can get with the PRU. -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Own the Future-Intel® Level Up Game Demo Contest 2013 Rise to greatness in Intel's independent game demo contest.
