Is this "machinekit" using the PRU on the beaglebone board, like this project is doing ?
https://github.com/hzeller/beagleg given the beagle has a PRU, why couple it with an additional FPGA ? Sounds like what we really need is just a linuxcnc driver for the PRU firmware developed for the project above...
