Hello fellow astronauts,
You may have noticed that a new paper is now linked from the main project page!
Thanks to Myles Borins, there are some new networking features, for instance in case you would like multiple people to be able to control sound synthesis on your embedded Linux board by logging in via the web.
Thanks to Spencer Salazar, it is possible to control hardware-accelerated graphical output using simple OSC messages. It's great for prototyping! Otherwise you would have to write OpenGLES code manually, which is much more work and requires writing C++ code. Here is a video demo of a guitar pedal with projector:

Finally, if you use the Satellite CCRMA image and you run the
disable-flash-writes
command after you are finished with your project, then your project will last much, much longer. For example, if using a class 4 memory card, you will only get about 200 power cycles out of other images before your memory card wears out (assuming that your project boots up into a pd patch). On the other hand, if you use Satellite CCRMA with flash writes disabled, then you will get many more boots before the memory card wears out. It lasts so long, that I haven't been able to get it to fail yet (for instance, more than 10000 power cycles)!! Here are the tests that we've made so far:
Happy prototyping,
Edgar
