What happened to "The Brat"? She's not doing the board?

Oh, she'll do the layout. I'm drawing the schematic. On d-size vellum.

On actual vellum ? PETA will have your hide !

from Wiki: "Vellum is a translucent material produced from the skin, often split, of a young animal."

We use the hide of interns.

You use D-size, though. Must cost you a fortune in cheeseburgers to get interns that fat. ;)

It's probably illegal to be fat in San Francisco.

It's rare. Skinny women in tight jeans are the rage here, fine with me. When I travel to mid-America or the South, I'm always surprised: all the people are monochrome and a lot are fat.

Beagleboards use TI AM335x which has two PRU units: embedded simple CPUs that run at 200MHz and execute programs from a memory area that can be accessed (for data and/or code) from the main ARM CPU.

Some I/O pins are directly accessible from the PRU and others go through the general IO. In theory the former can be flipped every 5 ns---in practice Charlie Steinhauer discovered pipeline effects that limit it somehow, but still, you can get a good fraction of 100MHz.
