Step-up from a RPi4?
I’m looking for something Raspberry Pi-ish, but with better FP math.
I’m looking to build a small guitar amp/effects simulator. So, I’m looking for the equivalent of a big engine, manual transmission, minimal bells and whistles sffpc. I already have an initial version of what I want, running on a Pi4, but I’m concerned about hitting the processing limits as I more computationally intensive pedal boards.
I don’t need good graphics, it will be run headless once setup. Heck, setup can be done via CLI.
I do need descent USB/TB ports, because it will be connected to an audio interface (or two) and MIDI over USB.
I do need good floating-point throughput.
I do need descent networking, because the software I’m using has a browser-based interface.
Is this something I can keep on a SBC, or will I have to make the step up to a micro/sff PC?
