Hi all,
I've been doing a bit of looking around to see what's already
available so that we can:
(1) Do as little work as possible to have a working system, and
(2) Help other projects in the ham radio ecosystem at the same time

To me, it looks like using sdr-core as the basis for the I/Q
processing and sdr-shell (a QT application) as the basis for the
frontend would be the best thing.
QT can output directly to the framebuffer without using X.  This will
be good for saving some disk space and some memory.  The only problem
with this would be that sdr-core requires the JACK audio server which
is quite heavy.  A also don't know whether or not these applications
have been tested on anything other than x86 architectures.

I'm building the Yocto embedded system environment at the moment and
I'll do some testing in a simulator to see how feasible this looks.

Is it worth starting a different mailing list for this project, since
it's only tangentially related to Codec2?

Regards,
Dan
