Thank you all for your encouraging replies. @Scott : I 'm also wondering what the Pi is capable of dsp-wise. @Charles : I don't know the power of the dark side, but I'm dying to learn more about it! I guess we'll continue this thread when one of us managed to get his hand on a Pi. Pierre.

I'm not sure how easy it is to generalize ARM platforms though. The processor in the RasPi is an ARM11, compared to for instance the Cortex-A found in beagleboards and other devices it has quite a reduced instruction set and doesn't support stuff like NEON, which can be very beneficial for media

If you have Debian running on the Beagleboard, building Pd-extended should just be a matter of following the standard Debian instructions. Start with BuildingPdExtended on puredata.info. .hc On Mar 1, 2012, at 1:36 AM, dreamer wrote: I'm not sure how easy it is to generalize ARM platforms

Well, I have a pandora and the buildtools for crosscompiling to it. I could also compile on the pandora, but it's based on OpenEmbedded (or actually Ångström). Do you think GLES2.0 is good enough to run GEM? Alexander On Thu, Mar 1, 2012 at 4:17 PM, Hans-Christoph Steiner h...@at.or.at wrote:

dmotd has started ported Gem to GLES 2.0. Its not the same as regular OpenGL, so Gem currently doesn't work with it. .hc On Mar 1, 2012, at 7:20 AM, dreamer wrote: Well, I have a pandora and the buildtools for crosscompiling to it. I could also compile on the pandora, but it's based on

Dear List, I'm planning to buy a Raspberry Pi sometime soon, and I'd like to know the implications of the ARM11 chip on the use of Pd. I know nothing about the differences in architectures, so i'd like to know : - why an ARM chip would be a problem for compiling, installing and running Pd, - if

i figure it won't be too long before nearly everyone including planet CCRMA has a build going specifically for the Pi. there' s a very good chance the Pi Foundation can license the design to other makers, so by May or so i'd bet a number of different places will have them in stock. the biggest

There are some fedora packages of pd floating around. It would be great for someone to update them and include them in the pure-data SVN or some repo somewhere. Also, if someone makes a fedora package .spec file for the Library Template, it'll be really easy to package lots of other
