Based on the recent discussions on the list I hope that PRU's could replace FPGA in some way. While FPGA remains much more universal solution. I'm building Rostock-like device which I intend to use for both small milling/engraving and 3D printing. And I have Beaglebone Black. So I'll be glad to participate in testing and whatever comes about BBB and LinuxCNC. Particularly I like the idea of 3D printing with LinuxCNC.
