Hello everyone, My name is Corentin, and I am a member of a team participating each year to the French robotics cup https://www.coupederobotique.fr/.
So we are making robots from scratch, mechanics, electronics and coding. A robot for the cup is an autonomous with motors to move, actuators to make actions on the match table, sensors to see the environment and electronics/code to run everything. This year, we want to change our electronic architecture because the current one is a bit old. After looking at many board with an embedded Linux, we thought that the BeagleBone AI was the good one. So here is a little explanation of what we want of the board : - An embedded Linux to run our high level code - A microprocessor to run low level code as motors controls or actuators controls - A lot of GPIOs to plug everything we need (sensors, actuators, etc ...). So here is our hardware needs for the board : - Encoder inputs for the odometry of the robots - PWMs or one I2C bus for the control of the motors - Another I2C bus for sensors - 5GhZ Wifi (already present) - One Ethernet port (already present) - One USB port (already present) - Interface for a touchscreen - Interface for a camera - 2 serials (debug, and actuators control) - 1 JTAG (debug) - Analogs pins - GPIOs pins Do you think the board is providing these needs at the same time ? In the contrary, do you think the BeagleBone Black will do the job ? The next questions are more general. Since Linux is running on the board, what is the state of the support of Linux ? What's left to do ? Will you continue the support of the board in the long run ? New versions of the board will be make ?
