I am beginning a project for work using the similar Altera SoC, with dual Cortex-A9 ARM cores and FPGA logic. I am hopeful someone will make a board suitable for machine control with a lot of I/O pins available (ie: more like the BeagleBone and less like the Pi). Xenomai and the ARM version of LinuxCNC should be portable to either system pretty easily, since the hard ARM core sub-system is generally straight out of the ARM reference manual (ie: not a lot of custom vendor supplied peripherals, other than what you design and put into the FPGA). -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected]
