Well, Raspberry Pi 2/3 is definitely sufficient for that. You can accomplish it in no time. Installing and booting Debian (Raspbian) or Fedora from 8GB SD card goes out of the box. GNAT is available for armhf. That is. > Eventually, I would like to make something that can work with input > from 3 small digital cameras. However, that is a way off. Image processing can be infinitely resource consuming. You might wish a board with USB3 to attach the cameras, I assume they will be USB not CSI attached. There exist camera module multiplexers but they are relatively expensive and I am not sure if the performance is worth the money. Raspberry Pi 2/3 has 4xUSB2. Which leaves one port free. -- Regards, Dmitry A. Kazakov http://www.dmitry-kazakov.de
