[sdiy] is raspberry pi the future?

[Terry Shultz]

Hi Thomas,

The Freescale i.MX53 or i.MX6x Boards have better audio connectivity .

Having been involved in those projects at Freescale, we designed the DSP audio interfaces onto the Cortex A8 AND A9 based products.

The same audio interfaces from our DSPx5672x and DSPx563xx products are incorporated into the ARM processors along with S/PDIF, ASRC, and ESAI audio I/O.

Sure more money, but much better hardware for Audio projects iMHO.

Now that I am on the rank of the un-employed I am playing with Sharc, Blackfin, dspPIC to see what nuggets they might have to offer.

Still tools are a bit of a cost factor but I am going the cheap and get it done route.

I'll post more on my projects as soon as I can get a Web page cobbled together .

Check out my friend Paul Beckmann's tools http://www.dspconcepts.com/products/audio-weaver .

He supports Sharc, BlackFin and ARM A8-A9 and M4 products with the Audio Weaver tools.
