Hello,
I've been following the progress of the beagle/arm porting efforts and am very interested with the project and it's potential for SCADA and data logging applications. I have questions for the developers as to the roadmap and features one can expect once this project matures. Please forgive if they seem naive as my understanding of the hardware is limited. - Can we expect to underclock the CPU using the systcl hw.setperf knob? - Taking into account section 5.6 of the FAQ on custom kernels; will disabling certain hardware increase the reliability of the system? ie: in a SCADA application it's unlikely HDMI will be needed. - Will the serial ports be accessible through TTY/CUA? - Will there be a sysctl interface to work with some onboard GPIO pins, similar to the way certain 1-Wire master/slave devices have been integrated? Or will the I/O be accessible through a GPIO controller? - Will the watchdog be accessible (if there is one)? - Any plans for WoL support? I understand that the developer's efforts are a limited resource and want to thank you all for your time. Can't wait to start testing your code.
