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.

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
