The 25 minutes talk intends to familiarize the audience with the Processing software sketchbook & language used extensively in education, and gives an overview of the state of this software running on single board computers (RPi, Allwinner SOCs). The second part outlines the challenges in implementing a vendor-neutral hardware I/O library, and what parts are currently missing (esp. kernel-wise) to offer an "Arduino"-like functionality across many affordable SBCs running Linux.

Initiated by Ben Fry & Casey Reas in 2001, Processing is being widely used in contexts such as design and visual arts education.
