The Hacker News thread discusses the Olimex RP2350pc, an open-source hardware all-in-one computer based on the RP2350 microcontroller. Users compare it to the Adafruit Fruit Jam, another RP2350-based SBC, praising its availability. A key point of discussion is the challenge of utilizing all onboard peripherals within the limited memory footprint, though some argue that creative solutions like tile-based rendering with PIO and DMA can overcome this. Ideas for efficient video generation and image encoding, potentially using Rust, are also explored. The USB host implementation sparks curiosity, with users clarifying that while the vendor SDK needs PIO, custom drivers could utilize the controller directly. One user questions the choice of a mono audio codec, while another defends the RP2350pc's appeal due to its affordability and potential for disposable applications, even suggesting the novelty of a quad-RP2350 setup for software experimentation. The discussion also touches upon the practicality of using the RP2350 for such a device when more powerful SoCs are readily available.
