Hello all,

I've recently acquired this board:

https://beagleboard.org/ai

Don't let the name fool you: AI is not the only thing this board is good
for. In fact, it really doesn't have any specialized AI hardware at all.
It's really a signal-processing platform.

It has a dual-core Cortex-A15, two C66x DSPs, 4x PRUs (32-bit
microcontroller cores for real-time control), 2x dual-core Cortex-M4s,
and several graphics acceleration units.

That's a whole lotta horsepower for $130. Combine this with any of the
inexpensive USB-interfaced RF hardware and you've got a lot of
possibilities for the determined amateur.

I plan to make this the core of my SatNOGS setup, with all control and
processing done on this board, relaying directly to the SatNOGS DB.
