[PD-dev] compiling to DSP processor?

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Hey Damian,

The gluiph was just that, it ran Pd directly on a DSP:

Depending on your skills, it could be easier to run a über-stripped OS like I did on the Palm Pilots, which ran Pd tho they had 32megs of RAM.  There wasn't much more than the linux kernel, a super basic X11 server, and Pd.
