well, something like that raspberry or the beagleboard looks absolutely great, IF i can get one to run pd with just some really minimal patch.
the most important thing is low latency. i know how hard that is to get even on a 'proper' computer, so that's going to be the hard thing, yeah?
i don't mind if the device is a bit bigger. but you know...even these smart phones now can run pretty decent pd patches. surely there has to be some good option with dedicated audio in/out and low latency???
i can attempt a custom linux install even but i'd need some hand holding.
It's a current topic at the London hackspace.
Im often thinking about new development boards that can run
a decent guitar FX patch with usable latency on a playing
card sized board costing less than a $50
Depends what you mean by mini devices though.
In theory a usable CPU only board would need USB,
and a power supply, everything else, including
LAN and audio can be added.
Most SBCs are actually very expensive dollar per cycle but
there are some interesting possibilities
