What you need to do...or shall I say worry about....is a proof of concept. Get demo boards, or whatever, wire them up, do the software/firmware.....prove you can do what you want and THEN make it pretty.  Lots of time spent on making a pretty piece of hardware, and then find out you can't get the preformance or make it work correctly.....makes life frustrating.
