[sdiy] Some Audio DSP prototypes

[Eric Brombaugh]

I'll grant that I'm probably a corner case - I do indeed do all my dev 
work on Linux with a pretty basic set of tools: editor, makefiles and 
OpenOCD / GDB run from the command line. It works for me and I don't 
have any major complaints about the RPi flow vs the flow I use for 
STM32. And there's no doubt that the hardware capabilities of the chips 
we can easily get today fall far short of what was available 18mo ago. I 
miss hardware floating point, 1/2GHz clock rates and decent ADCs.

I'd also venture that your 26-chip system is a different kind of corner 
case and I absolutely understand how frustrating it would be to use 
tools that are designed for hobbyist users in a situation like that. You 
have my sympathy and admiration. Hopefully the folks you're working with 
at RPi are listening and learning from your experience.
