Hi,

I'm trying to run PD Extended 0.43.4 on a UDOO board (www.udoo.org) compiling from the original source code, but I got some problems such as: it is not possible to create |dac~| object and graphics of some control seems is completely wrong (it seems the source code is shown instead of the control).

Have someone already tried to compile it on UDOO? Could you help me?

Thank you!

Just as information, I finally managed to compile and run PD Extended on UDOO, I wrote this little guide here:
http://www.udoo.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=478

Sorry, i'm very noob, it's udoo something like raspberry ? it's usable for power users or it's only for developers ?

I mean whit my little knowoledge in linux and puredata can i use this board for example a simple sequencer or synth ?

as you can read on udoo.org: "UDOO is a mini PC that can run either Andoid or Linux, with an Adruino -compatible board embedded"
So it's a bit like a "big" Pi.

If you have little knowoledge, I dont know.

ok,
I wonder if it's easy to use...sorry, i'll get info by myself, just ask if it's a board for developers or a normal user can use it installing linux and software and use it.

I dream about made a puredata minipc for run synth, sequencer or other patchs but i don't know if i can do it.

I don't know what is your experience with Linux, but I think it's very easy to work with this board.

If you don't need any particular customization you can download the Linux or Android image from the official site, burn on a SD card and nothing else more.
In order to get PD working you can install using one command line (sudo apt-get install puredata), or if you would like to run the special version for UDOO you can follow this post: http://www.udoo.org/pure-data-for-udoo/

UDOO is a great board since you have the power of four Raspberry and the flexibility of an Arduino Due.
Another great thing is that you have audio in and output already available without buying any external sound card.

So to answer your question: I think UDOO is a board usable for anyone has a little of interest in computer science or/and electronic. You have not to be a super geek in order to get things work on it, just have a little of experience with Ubuntu. Sometimes you will need a little of patience to follow some guides online to customize/install things that you need and are not already available.

If you don't need Arduino at all or you want to save some $, you maybe prefer to use a Raspberry, it's cheaper, it's very popular (so you can find a lot of documentation and support), but consider that if you want use it for synth you'll need an external audio card (since the integrated one has only output port and audio depth is 14bit) and if you use complex patches you will probably need of more CPU power... Anyway you can try... Raspberry costs about 25$, so I think it's worth a try!

Thanks, ok, are all task that i can do, but the udoo it's more powerful and have a decent soundcard ?
I can install a minimal linux in arch or debian to run only puredata without X and the arduino can do the control, knob, led an lcd...in this way can be more powerful for a complex patch or are only little adjustement the not influence too much ?

Mine experiment are more on sequencer, so i use it only for numerical things, for the synth i can use a lot of more ready and quality things, but a littleof audio on the board for testing and experiment could be nice...for me it's just a thing to learn a toy, but whit power.

Anyway i can try, at least i just need some little pc to put on the back of a monitor to make a multimedia/internet-browser station
bye.

I'm an pd-extended on UDOO Quad board and it works except the video things... for the moment

really cool board face to raspberry pi, I'm ujsing it on SD class10 without majors problems: their last ubuntu 12_04 works fine.
There is a SATA port too, pretty well working with 5V SSD
