My favorite part of the BeagleBoard are the PRU's: two little 200Mhz realtime coprocessors. [1] [1] https://beagleboard.org/pru https://beagleboard.org/pru

- rasz 3y agoI dont see PRUs mentioned for this one tho
- cozzyd 3y agothey're a TI thing, so very unlikely they exist here
- meatmanek 3y agoI think if they had invested in a beginner-friendly toolchain for the PRU (maybe something like an Arduino core with a virtual serial port to pass data back and forth without forcing people to implement ring buffers in shared memory), they could've carved out a much larger niche for the Beaglebone. Nowadays, there are fast hobbyist-accessible microcontrollers with USB or wifi support that can fill a lot of the same niches, so I think they sorta missed the boat.
