dmotd has started ported Gem to GLES 2.0. Its not the same as regular OpenGL, so Gem currently doesn't work with it.

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?

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.

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 applications (not sure if Pd could make use of it though).
Talking about ARM personally, I'm interested in getting PD and Gem (preferably pd-extended) running on the Pandora, which has a Cortex-A8 like the beagleboard. I have tried the debian package here http://enchevetres.org/doku.php?id=tek:puredata inside the pandebian program (a chroot to run debian packages for the pandora os), but the program was completely unusable.
If anyone has success getting pd-extended compiled for Cortex-A8 from source I'm very much interested in any tips.

I guess we'll continue this thread when one of us managed to get his hand on a Pi.

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 libraries for Fedora.
If you get Debian running on the Pi, then just apt-get install puredata.

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 issue for me is how much DSP performance you get out of something whose speed matches the iPhone 3GS. the awesome thing would be to put their display engine to work doing DSP but i think that's a long way down the line if ever due to the limited API access. i started a thread about this a bit ago and if i remember, the falling down point of ARM was that it didn't handle floating point well. i'd be curious how much these devices could be pushed.

No--planet CCRMA has some i386 pd packages, but not arm. If you want to run Fedora and Pd, you will need to compile it. If only you knew the power of the dark side, and by dark side, I mean Debian.
If you didn't get your pre-order in time for this batch, you'll have to wait a month, I bet. By the time I got to work this morning, it was too late.
