Well the Raspberry Pi is based on an ARM chip. Does anyone know how these chips compare when running RJDJ or libPD applications?</div><div style="font-size:12pt;">
<span style="font-size:12pt;">Perhaps this is a possibility, without too much modification of libPD or even RJDJ.</span><br></div><div style="font-size:12pt;">
...but someone would need to write a host for the Raspberry Pi.</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>> What do you need by "writing a host for Pd"? Something like a very simple OS?<br> <br></div><div>Er..well I can see they run Linux, so I think I was mistaken.

<div style="font-size:12pt;"><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; ">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).</div>
<div style="font-size:12pt;"><br></div><div style="font-size:12pt;">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.</div>
