I work on this! AMA if you have any questions. I think it's really cool and has been fun to hack on. the main github w/ all the specs and code is at https://github.com/shorepine/tulipcc
Is it easy skip all the Python/AMY stuff and just run sclang on this? Maybe even just through terminal emacs? Just because maybe scide is asking too much here (too tiny of a screen for it perhaps)?
Guess I am just trying to say a cheap computer like this with good midi and dac is worth it in itself, and is probably ready for a lot ecosystems that arent python.
This is a pretty bespoke thing -- stuff made for an RPi / linux won't directly port over. It's running Micropython and has got custom code to handle the screen, there's no obvious framebuffer or terminal. But anything is possible and I bet you could take the bits of the firmware you need to port over your own stuff!
