This little credit card sized marvel could be useful for external DSP boxes as it has digital HDMI audio output, as well as a headphone socket.
It's just a heads-up really, as I thought it looked very cool, and ridiculously cheap. And they're a charity.

Yeah I'd been thinking about getting one to play around with. I used to do ARM assembler years ago and it really is very nice to use.DaveHoskins wrote: It's just a heads-up really, as I thought it looked very cool, and ridiculously cheap. And they're a charity.

Just wish I knew enough electronics to get some knobs and an LCD wired up to it.

ARM assembler on the Archimedes was really cool. Just 45 instructions, including a single instruction to multiply two regs, add a third reg, then store it in a fourth reg. Of which there are now 32 floating point registers!sonigen wrote:Yeah I'd been thinking about getting one to play around with.

Then there are conditional instructions, bit reverse instructions, and the easy to fathom pipeline and cycle count... Oh I won't go on!
Nice though.

I used it on the A3000, which had a multiply instruction by then. The conditional execution one all instructions is one of the things i really wish for in x86. In fact working with x86 on a daily basis is likely a big part of why i remember ARM assembler so fondly.DaveHoskins wrote: ARM assembler on the Archimedes was really cool.

i really hope the audio drivers are decent for this and capable of low latency. it seems very promising

If not, you can always write your own.hibrasil wrote:i really hope the audio drivers are decent for this and capable of low latency. it seems very promising
I wish they'd mention some specs like supported audio bit depths and rates. But even 16bit @ 44.1 is sufficient for an instrument output.
I'm definitely interested in this! Does anybody know if they would license the board for inclusion in other products?

I think the hardware design is also open source, so I think that means you can do whatever you wish with it.hibrasil wrote:

I was about to check on this for certain but their website has gone SOPA blackout already.

Went on sale today, through Farnell and RS. RS only seem to have a 'sign up if you're interested' form, and Farnell UK is inaccessible, though.
However, both companies have now been licensed to make them, so large-scale availability should be solved in the near future...

RS is up but it's just a get-in-line form.simonden wrote:The whole Farnell UK website is in overload - just completely dead.
Maybe I will wait a day or two...
I think I'll wait till the schoolkids all have theirs, and there's a local North American supplier. Don't want to be greedy.

From what it looks like on the RP twitter feed, Farnell are sold out (and effectively DDOS'd), and RS are only taking names at the moment, they're not selling yet.

I was hoping for something like this, manufacturing batches themselves piecemeal was only going to lead to frustrations.whyterabbyt wrote:However, both companies have now been licensed to make them, so large-scale availability should be solved in the near future...
Of course, now we can argue whose version sounds warmer when running audio apps...
