annotate include/BeagleRT.h @ 68:59edd5780fef

Changed d-box code to run cleanly when built on board. Updated Makefile to add ne10 include path on board. Some extra docs in Utilities.h

/**
 * \mainpage
 *
 * BeagleRT is a hard-real-time, ultra-low latency audio and sensor environment for
 * BeagleBone Black, which works with the BeagleBone Audio Cape or a custom "BeagleRT Cape"
 * which incorporates stereo audio with 8x, 16-bit analog inputs and outputs.
 *
 * BeagleRT is based on the Xenomai real-time Linux extensions (http://xenomai.org) and
 * uses the BeagleBone %PRU subsystem to address the audio and sensor hardware.
