Strongly agreed. I am hoping that one of those organizations will be agreeable to serving as a largely-hands-off and non-opinionated facilitator to Amateur Radio projects with little more than insistence on Open Source and an ability to receive funds and dispense checks. It may actually help that

Hardware floating point is required. So, your low-power CPU might not be the right choice - I think only the ones with "F" in the part number have hardware floating point. And don't ask anyone to rewrite the code for fixed-point unless you have a lot of money :-) Since OpenRTX has been getting

One strategy would be to treat the m17 STM32 processor as a wireless interface alone, and do the codec processing and user interface in your phone. This would allow you to use the high computation codecs when you couple the m17 and your phone. On Wed, Nov 18, 2020, 5:45 PM Al Beard via

Why don't you make a Raspberry Pi daughter board? It gives people some latitude in choosing how much compute they want, and it's a lot less expensive than most compute solutions you could put together. It provides ethernet, Wi-Fi, lots of USB, lots of undedicated I/O. And they will upgrade faster
