Curious if anyone has looked at the Raspberry Pi™ SBC? I've seen some talk about running NETMF on it, but don't know if anyone has taken the Linux compiled version of NETMF and tried it?
Sorry, I know this is not a NETDUINO related post, but I think there are some really smart and creative people on these forums... so what better place to ask.
I'm working on an audio project idea that I'm not sure could be accomplished with ND which is why I am looking at it.
I have been following the Raspberry PI with great interest. As you probably know, they are in extremely short supply and it will be a while (months) before most people can get their hands on one. Also the Raspberry PI has several features like USB host and HDMI video that would require drivers to work with NETMF. Since parts of the Raspberry By are not open source (particularly the Broadcomm chip used as the processor), I would expect the effort to develop drivers for all the hardware will be non-trivial.
In any case I am anxious to get mine, but to run Unix.

Apparently, RS have invited everyone who registered on the first day to order their Raspberry Pi. I've been lucky enough to have been invited to order so should have one in the next four weeks.I have been following the Raspberry PI with great interest.

I'm also looking to use this as a Linux machine but I will probably have a look to trying Mono on it.
