Well the Raspberry Pi is based on an ARM chip. Does anyone know how these chips compare when running RJDJ or libPD applications?
Perhaps this is a possibility, without too much modification of libPD or even RJDJ.
...but someone would need to write a host for the Raspberry Pi.
Even if it was just the PD core, it would enhance the educational scope of the Raspberry Pi - which is the whole point of this single-board computer (I learned my first programming on a Sinclair ZX Spectrum in the 1980s).
I never thought I would see the day when the BBC Microcomputer would rule the world in telecommunications, but ARM chips and the ARM RISC instruction set are running every smartphone on the planet right now (correct me if I'm wrong :) and some of these smartphones run RJDJ and libPD really well.
Dataflow music programming in schools. Maybe...

On the RaspberryPi website the question about the absence of audio-input
was answered recently:
There are no inbuilt Audio ADC’s so there would be a cost adder – everyone
was sat on my head to get costs down. They can be easily added via the GPIO.
So, still a possibility in an embedded openstomp-ish device.

Postgraduate Research Studentship
Centre for Music and Performance, Birmingham Conservatoire
Birmingham City University
The Research Department at Birmingham Conservatoire invites applications for a three-year full-time PhD studentship.
A full-time bursary in line with the AHRC rate (outside London) will be provided (currently £13,590 per annum), and PhD fees at Home/EU rate will be covered by the University.
The studentship is offered for commencement in September 2012 in an area consonant with the research strategy at Birmingham Conservatoire. Areas of special relevance to our research include composition, interactive performance and live electronics, performance studies, music criticism, late medieval music theory, French and Italian Baroque, Messiaen, late nineteenth- and twentieth-century French music, film music and cognate studies.
Further details of staff specialisms at http://www.bcu.ac.uk/pme/conservatoire/research
Current part-time students may apply for a two- or three-year full-time programme.
Birmingham Conservatoire has a very lively research department. In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise almost 50% of its research outputs were judged to be either world-leading or internationally excellent. It has awarded PhDs since 1993 and has an excellent completion rate.
