What are the odds a Raspberry Pi could keep up with BTrack?

Pi or pi pico? At first glance it looks like that software is designed for double precision floats. That would certainly be some compute. The M0+ doesn't have hardware floating point let alone double precision. The M33 on the newer chip I think has hardware single precision float so a simple find-replace should let it go.

If it's not doing anything else and the sample rates aren't outrageous it might be doable but I'd have to dig into the code more to see how much work they're doing per sample.


It's for the pico. RP2040 works fine, but RP2350 has a hardware FPU and much more processing capability, so supports more channels and filters
