What is a reasonable cost target for that at the volumes you could produce? Coming up with something that is a better value than BeagleBone Black at any kind of hobby project volume seems difficult. The processor you mentioned has a Cortex-M7 at 300MHz. BBBB has a Cortex-A8 running at 1GHz plus a Cortex-M processor available as a coprocessor. Peripheral set is pretty comparable, and you can buy BBB at retail for $50 which gets you the faster higher class processor, 512MB of DRAM and 4GB of flash. It runs linux right out of the box so you basically power it on and have NTP running. > Anybody have any ideas or suggestions along these lines? On my list of projects to work on is a cape for BeagleBone Black that takes 10MHz and 1PPS inputs along with a couple of RS232 converters for the UARTs so you can connect a GPSDO to a BBB to make a time server. In my estimation that seemed like the best return on effort. -- Chris Caudle _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
