I would like an opinion please, on whether or not the BBB is suited to my intended project. I need a fast processor that can read a 20 mega samples per second A/D (Maxim) every 100 nanoseconds. This means I will probably have to execute (guessing here) 5 to 15 instructions within a 100ns window to capture and store the signal from the A/D. Will the overhead of having a Linux operating system allow this kind of speed or, if not, can I bypass the OS and work directly with the processor? Is it overkill to use the BBB for this or is there something less complicated available that has the speed I need. I really don't need most of the other functions except the ability to program the software I write and use the display driver for a graphical output. My SBC background is with much slower, simpler processors like the Stamp series which are way too slow. Thanks for any input on this! Dean
