Minimal Embedded SBC hardware for MAX MSP to run on
Hey has anybody tried getting MAX onto a more powerful SBC (running for example windows 7), with minimal specs that MAX requires? If so, please let us know so we can compare notes and issues.
If nobody else has done this (yet), know that we are contemplating doing this, and while it'd be great for our specific use, we imagine there might be MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE WANTING THE "TINIEST LITTLE MAX HARDWARE ENGINE" and if so, maybe that's something we'll also VAR and sell to the open community of MAX developers.
Note we do not use JITTER, only U, audio and MIDI processing, however with MIRA, so our minimal SBC requirement may be less than others with heavy graphics processing.
Does somebody out there have this experience?
NOTE we are NOT talking about a "windows embedded" scenario, unless that is proven to work, but a real windows 7 machine, just, TINY, while meeting the published minimal requirements for MAX to run.
I'd also be interested in this
I've run max on Windows 10 on the LattePanda, just preliminary tests really, but seeems to work. Other options include the Udoo x86 and the Up-boards which claim to run Windows 10.
Awesome ---thanks for reply !
Which exact boards? Any issues? Any configurations I should know about?
I have heard tell from these posts that Intel Atom CPUs don't work that well - that you want at least an i3:
I have a grant for an installation to do this summer that is going to become the property of the museum when the show is over, so I was curious what is the cheapest thing i could get Max to run on nicely to do a little bit of video tracking and audio synthesis, sample manipulation and lightweight effects processing. Seems like the cheapest thing at the moment is to get a refurb Grade C windows laptop from the likes of Newegg for $100–$125, but that's always a bit of a crapshoot and I'm not sure how much I would trust such a machine to be reliable for a museum exhibit.
So I'd be totally interested in something like that, but my timeline for this particular project is probably too soon :)
