I just saw this and thought it was interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_Mindstorms_EV3
"The biggest change from the NXT to EV3 series is the technology improvement of the programmable brick. The main processor of the NXT was an ARM7 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM7>-based microcontroller, where as the EV3 will be an ARM9 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM9>-based processor running Linux <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux>. A USB<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB> connector and SD <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital> slot are new to the EV3." We'll have to wait to see if a LinuxCNC port to this device is feasible, but with the incredible work being done by Micheal and others we very well may be in the ballpark. I doubt there will be a PRU equivalent, and it is certainly more costly than a BBB, but it might be a fun test platform.
