Pretty much every discussion of a split system has recognised that the whole intent is to contain real-time processes entirely on one machine (whether single or multiple core), so AIUI, only semi-real-time commands would need to be sent across. > (That and I have too many projects and didn't need the Udoo for anything) A surfeit of projects isn't the luxury it's cracked up to be.
