#1 SPI has no slave mode driver in the kernel, so SPI( including mcSPI ) is out of the question. #2 McSPI is limited to 16Mhz in the current kernel config, So one would have to figure out how to modify that. #3 I've read, and I can not remember where that the McSPI interface is actually far faster

Well my guru friend on the BBB software side said that the best way would be USB to USB on 2 beagle bones seems its as fast as the ethernet connection Running Ethernet over USB He also told me there is no slave driver for spi in the Linux kernel so thats a no go. On 4/10/2016 9:30 AM, John Syn

The fastest interface would be McASP which can clock at 50MHz and with four channels channels will give you just under 200Mbps. Regards, John > On Apr 10, 2016, at 9:23 AM, evilwulfie wrote: > > high speed I2C : 3,2 Mbit/s > > SPI UP TO 10 Mbps > > UART SERIAL 921600 <--- I t

If I had two BBB devices sitting right next to each other, what would be the fastest way to send data from one to the other--excluding Ethernet? Specifically, I'd like to be able to: 1. Read data in from one BBB Ethernet port, send the data (unidirectionally) from one BBB to the other.
