The perceived lack of performance of Axis on the BBB is due to software rendering. It's not a memory constraint. The hardware acceleration of graphics is broken in the earlier kernels, which is what xenomai currently works on. Newer kernels use xenomai 3 (I believe) and we don't. The newer

The Cura plugin also requires you to create a machine that uses it. It's also made for velocity extrusion, so you would need to use a config that also uses velocity extrusion. It's one or the other. Then you will be outputting ngc files instead of gcode, and E/A will disappear. E/A will be
