For messing around the UDOO is fine, but totally unsuitable for incorporating in a manufactured audio product. The Pd part is easy, the hardware is incredibly difficult.
I actually design Eurorack modules with Tiptop Audio as my day job, and can tell you that making a module using an advanced ARM chip is no easy task. The Nebulae is a quick, dirty hack and it has many issues. Design from the ground up around an A9 or similar chip requires very advanced tools (we pay a huge annual sum for high end layout software) and about 10 years of mixed signal PCB design experience. Keeping the audio clean would take multiple revisions of a 10-12 layer board and you would need to make a Eurorack power supply that can handle the current of the digital parts. It would take well into 6 figures to get a fully functional production ready prototype.
