Running NAM on Embedded Hardware: What We Learned · TONE3000

We built a NAM loader for the Electrosmith Daisy Seed: an ARM Cortex-M7 board that's become a popular foundation for DSP-based audio products, from eurorack modules to commercial guitar pedals.

On i.MX8MP, GPIOs are owned by Linux (A53) by default.
If the Cortex-M7 needs them—especially for interrupts—you must release them in the device tree:

• Remove pinmux
• Remove GPIO references
• Disable the GPIO controller if needed

This prevents A53/M7 resource conflicts and ensures real-time reliability.
