[PD] LibPd on microcontroller

[Joe White]

Hi Chuckk,

I'm one of the developers of heavy. Apologies that you felt some
information was lacking, would be very interested in hearing more about
your experience and what wasn't answered.

The code that heavy generates should compile on any platform that has a C99
compiler, and if it didn't we'd be very interested in looking into why.
There are no OS specific dependencies and you can even swap out your own
malloc, math, etc.. implementations.

The code is optimised for SSE, AVX and NEON instruction sets and we also
provide a single sample option for platforms where they are not available
(i.e. javascript)

Here's an example of integration with portaudio
https://github.com/enzienaudio/examples/tree/master/portaudio

Thanks,
Joe
