Hi,
I'm pretty out of the loop when it comes to embedded or small form
factor devices. There seems to be so many different embedded
processors and multiple versions of ARM etc - hence this message. I'm
very interested in the RaspberryPi project, and would like to build
some projects based on it. Does FPC support ARMv6 or later CPU's? A
quick search on the RaspberryPi website seems to suggest that to write
applications for it, you need ARMv6 or later support.

The exact processor on the RaspberryPi board will be a ARM11 700Mhz
CPU and the model I am looking at will have 256Mb RAM.
That should work OK. I'm using fpc + lazarus on a Tegra 2, which is
ARMv7. Just make sure you have enough swap space, since I've got 512MB
and that isn't sufficient to build lazarus.
The thing to worry about, however, is hardfloat. Most distros are
gearing up for it, but fpc doesn't support it, yet.
