  • OK, nice overview of the device, but what types of tests did you perform and where are your test results?

    How does it compare in processing power to the RPI?

    How well does it transfer data from I/O pins to memory and from memory to I/O.

    How many timers can you set up and how stable and accurate are they?

    What are the timing delays introduced by the operating system verses direct I/O manipulation?

     

    There are a lot of things to test on this board. I hope you do a few of them to give us a real test report.
