Hi,
Quirky question: is it possible to run PureData (or another
<place_your_name_here> *modular*) on a DSP (or, still, another
<place_your_name_here> microcontroller) under a port of Linux?
I was thinking of building an hardware expander that would share the patches of
its software counterpart, just by dumping them on the device...
Does "m68k" refer to a family of Motorola DSPs?
http://www.linux-m68k.org
From the Alpha (64 bits) to the ARM (32 bits), between
the MIPS (32 bits) or
MIPS-64 (64 bits), short-cutting to the PA-RISC (32 bits),
U-turning by the
SPARC (32 bits) and SPARC64 (64 bits versions)... what applications are this
bugs aimed at?
You'd want to think: "how could he manage to do that provided the questions he
asks?" ;-)
Cheers,
Christian Frisson

The 68k family of processors from Motorola were general purpose
processors. Not even remotely anything like a DSP. Perhaps you were
thinking of the 56k series?

Probably, but you are unlikely to see a performance degradation
in comparison to high x86 hardware.

The M68k family were not DSP chips, but rather they were CPU used
in Macs (and may other lesser known machines) before they changed
to PowerPC.

?????? Sounds like PB (PureBabbling) to me ;-).

I read:
and HP, and amigas and atari st (everyone in the sound world should
remember this one) and the yamaha tx16w sampler ... didn't palms use
them too ....

There is a limited port of PD to ARM which runs on Zaurus / IPaq PDAs.
However functionality is very limited (both in terms of the software and
the hardware).

No its refers to the 68000 series processors. Most DSP chips are not
capable of running something like linux nativly, you run linux on a host
processor that controls the DSP.
Porting the opcodes of pure data to a 56k DSP would be an enormous
ammount of work, and you'd probably get similar price/performance by just
buying a faster CPU anyway.
If we had audio over firewire working you could offhand the DSP work to a
stack of cheap miniitx boxes or something, but we dont ;)
