Revolutionizing Embedded Audio DSP Development
Embedded audio DSP development has long suffered from lengthy iteration cycles, complex cross-platform porting, and a lack of real-time configurability and visibility. Traditional workflows require engineers to repeatedly code, compile, and test to fine-tune audio parameters, a process that is time-consuming and hinders A/B comparisons. Furthermore, cross-platform porting is challenging because audio algorithms are often optimized for specific processor architectures, making direct migration to new platforms difficult. This article introduces a new development platform that significantly reduces development time and enables cross-platform reuse by providing graphical audio tools, modular design, and real-time tools—achieving up to a 10x speedup. The platform hides low-level details like word length, byte order, and cache quirks, allowing the same audio graph to run on different architectures (ARM, Xtensa, RISC-V) without code changes.
