I'm getting fed up with how there are absolutely zero (0) options in the market for a cheap and simple DSP device that can just apply whatever effect I want and be done with it. So, I'm starting development of the software base of what may in the future become a complete DSP system for audio, and also other things related to that.
Here are the gory details:
- It will run on cheap and newly available RISC-V platforms like this one: https://milkv.io/duo-s
- The software will support any DSP effect in the special language derived from RISC-V assembly, not just the baby ones mandated for things like miniDSP nor the bespoke graphical ones for Sigma boards
- The software will be free and open-source and the hardware cheap, like really cheap (compared to the competition like miniDSP)
- The overall experience might be similar to HiFiBerry, but with less emphasis on music playback and more on raw DSP
- The first available hardware could be the Duo S board above just connected to a couple 3.5mm jacks using the built in ADC/DAC
- It currently only barely exists in a GitHub repo that I won't share right now, but is out there if you know what to search for
- Did I mention that it'll be cheap?
Tell me your thoughts on this idea! I'm not sure what everybody else wants or needs, and right now is the best time to figure that stuff out.
