It should be possible but Pd needs stuff like open(), read(), and write() for files, so it's necessary to make a small library to either carry out or somehow fake those operations.
The great advantage of running Pd on a DSP is that you can probably get audio latencies down much further than on a PC-like CPU. cheers Miller On Mon, Apr 02, 2012 at 10:58:49AM -0400, Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote: > > Hey Damian, > > The gluiph was just that, it ran Pd directly on a DSP: > http://www.nime.org/proceedings/2003/nime2003_180.pdf > > Depending on your skills, it could be easier to run a über-stripped OS like I > did on the Palm Pilots, which ran Pd tho they had 32megs of RAM.
