As 20 megasamples per second is a sample every 50 ns I am guessing you are going to need to execute in shorter time than 100 ns unless it is buffered. If the application doesn't require processing the samples in real time, you could buffer the A/D converter into a FIFO and have the BBB empty

I do not believe the components are rated to even work at -20C. You would need industrial or military temperature range components. The parts on the BBB are commercial/consumer grade and are rated to work only down to about 0C. Finding commercial grade parts that will function at -20C will

I don't believe you are being entirely fair. Raspberry Pi has been out since 2011, BBB has been out for what, six months or so? When something is new, it takes time to build up a community of users. Also, nobody on the planet has more than six months experience with BBB, there are people
