Abstract
Over recent years, the processing power of single-board microcontrollers has increased significantly. These microcontrollers are low cost, have a small footprint, use relatively small amounts of power and are able to interface with a multitude of different devices. One such microcontroller is the Beaglebone Black. In this work we test the current limits of a Beaglebone Black acting as a portable, real-time, multi-channel, sonar signal processor. By interfacing analogue-todigital converter chips to the open-source microcontroller, running open-source software, we show that it is possible to process high resolution, high sample rate, hydro-acoustic data in real-time.
