Been looking at the new Pi this morning :~)

Faster Pi and all. Good for hobby projects I guess. Curious what you guys would use this for as audiophiles?

 

My sense is that for a simple 2-channel endpoint the previous versions are more than adequate. These days, I've moved on to low-power MiniPCs (like this) and multichannel HDMI rather than Pi for my audio use given the software available like DSP, potential for HQPlayer, etc...

There is talk of using it as an HQPlayer embedded machine.

 

I'm interested in it for 12 channel Ravenna / AES67 audio.

I'm doing some really cool stuff on my new Pi 5, and preparing an article for next week. 

 

Question: Has anyone got a realtime kernel working on the 5?

No, but I am also interested.

I looked into using Yocto since I used it before for an other board. But I don't know if rt linux is supported in that layer.
Anyway, I am looking forward to your article. 

I haven't used Yocto forever. I'm using both the Debian with Desktop, and Ubuntu without desktop on my Pi. I don't think rt kernel is necessary, but I ran into one issue and wanted to try it. I see people have rt working on Pi 4, but I haven't found anything for Pi 5.

Think it is called Debian Bookworm and not Bookwork ;) 

Ha! auto-correct got me.
