Hardware wise, I'm sure it is compatible.
The USB and I2C and 5V Power are all per spec.
But then again, the software would need to be written.
I haven't seen any "Example Code"
Fundamentally, I don't believe the processor capability of
modern equipment is much of an issue. Seems like the Titan III
GNC processor was running at something like 0.4 Mhz.
It did have a bunch of high current outputs though :)
I could send these docs somewhere if you want.

Wow that is interesting! Not only for the system I had in mind but also
for the UAV community because the hardware is proliferating and if you
could just plug and play peripherals like IMU's, stereo cameras and GPS
modules, radios ect... that would be convenient.
Check out this board the Snickerdoodle an ARM and FPGA hybrid at Krtkl
(pronounced critical)
http://krtkl.com/
That could be the ultimate current hardware?
I have seen some work already being done to port CFS to it! I wonder if
the SPA protocols are compatible with it?

Hey guys,
Has anyone considered using something like the SPA protocols ?
( Satellite Plugnplay Architecture - AIAA S-133.
Sometimes confused with Spacewire PnP Arch which seems to be the
European version)
It's an open standard, of course the current 2013 paper is about $1k.
The 2011 (201X) Draft Copies are available for free.
Basically, each component (IMU, Radio, RCS, etc) has a small processor
on board that 'knows itself' with its capabilities and calibrations.
While many use ARMs and stuff, there were some examples of AVRs.
The networking architectures include I2C, and seem to be extensible.
I'm not sure if I like the DB-15 and DB-25 connector standard, but
they also seem to be changeable.
That's about the total of my understanding, but the idea of slapping
stuff together and having the code work out the details seems nice.
Comments ?
-Gar.
