I also have drivers on an ARM processor but it is located together with the 
power electronics on a separate card. Ordinary motor and stepper I have done 
but are in the process redesigning the card and are still not happy with the 
software. Real time computer I am still thinking about but have seen BBB, 
raspberry and Cort-M*.

Amazing.
