Been looking into that (only on the internet as it's too expensive for curiosity experience only), but could not find any information about inner workings of that thing - i.e. what is running on the beaglebone, what is running on the Windows machine and how the communication protocol is build? The BBG would have the RT OS, the windows would have the motion planner and GUI related things.
It would be nice to have something like this based on Machinetalk and HAL layer, but so far the CNC stuff in both LinuxCNC and Machinekit is one bit unyielding blob sitting in HAL layer, so no dice. Would be interested if somebody would have more info.
