You haven't been very specific about how much RAM you need, how fast you need to access it, and how you need to update it. I am inclined to want to ask why you must combine an Atxmega and SDRAM. In this day it seems to be a better choice to choose some more suitable platform where you are less constrained by the device limitations.
We're trying to make a digital audio delay pedal for guitar players.
It's supposed to have a feature in which you can record a sample of about 40 seconds - in stereo.
I've only worked with arduino before, and have mostly done regular PC-programming. So I'm a bit worried about how hard this will be.
Do you have any suggestions on which controller/memory would be suitable for these tasks?
