Hello,
Updating this thread about Olimex's OlinuXino board (A20-LIME & A20-LIME2) I still get the following error (in fact the console gets filled with dozens of them in a few seconds) :
"ALSA output error (restart failed): Broken pipe"
And the all DSP gets "stuck", it is not computed anymore (i.e. [env~] doesn't output anymore). I tried to make an abstraction to detect that dsp isn't "active" and restart it (";pd dsp 0", then ";pd dsp 1" -- the DSP button stays ticked).
This error appears at every startup of pd, and then randomly, I think mostly when opening new patcher window or on CPU load peaks. In general, pd's gui is quite slow (maybe normal on such board), and - don't know if this is related - sometimes Xorg crashes (I'm using the precooked debian distribution by Olimex)
I remember to read on this list that Raspberry Pi users should use a patched version of vanilla for ARM processors, isn't it ? (And Julian also adviced me to avoid pd-extended)
I think I'll give a try, but is there a little step-by-step "howto" to learn how to install this version on a debian ?
Any help much appreciated !
cheers,
Raphaël

just to add my experience.
I am now running some Olimex A10-Lime with amplifier boards on a sound installation and it works quite stable.
Test-board see:
http://puredata.info/docs/embedded/olinuxino/algo_a10board_05_cut.jpg/view
I compiled jackd myself excluding dbus service so it worked, but did not get
a better performance so I use pd with ALSA directly.

Hi !
Just to inform you that I'm currently experimenting with Olimex's
development boards, this might interest some people here (i am not doing
any advertising at all) who are into "mobile puredata"
the set-up i use consists of
- Olimex's A20-OLinuXino-LIME board (dual core Cortex-A7)
- with their own Debian distribution
- cheap USB audio interface : "Terratec Aureon Dual USB"
- pd-extended 0.43-4
- patching through VNC (and through Wi-Fi)
And it works.
..not as fast as on my laptop, of course, but I can run patches ok.
yet, the GUI is indeed quite slow (especially opening a patch)
However, I have a few troubles, but it might not be the right place to
ask...
I am newbie to debian, so I couldn't setup jack at all. I'm using alsa
but
I get the error at startup :
"ALSA output error (restart failed): Broken pipe"
(and also sometimes when opening patche, I get a bunch of these and DSP
get
stuck, i need to turn OFF and ON again pd's DSP to get audio back.)
Searching the archive, I saw that some people got the same problem and
resolved it by suspending/de-installing pulseaudio.
But it seems that pulseaudio isn't installed here.
Maybe someone has got a clue, where to search...? (i know this is very
specific problem !)
all best,
Raphaël
