Yes, luckily the Sitra TRM has a nice clear diagram for the mechanism I 
use and the signals are re-clocked twice on their way in to the BBB 
(@100mhz for the OCP bus then @200mhz for the PRU).

The timing at the BBB is not critical though, the signal is captured in 
the sampler @ 10mhz and the BBB has a shade under 100ns to read it 
before the next sample comes in. In initial testing, I had the BBB 
continuously sampling and had no problems keeping up @10mhz (I actually 
had to slow it down to make it work).

Cheers


Simon
