Running apps on embedded Linux?
lazarus / 1-Linux

What is the strategy for developing apps in Lazarus so that they run
on Linux embedded in small modules?  Is it doable to compile them
under Ubuntu 9, running x86, and then copy them to the embedded board
(which might be running ARM or Marvel or whatever)?  Any suggestions
would be much appreciated.

You can compile your project to every installed OS/CPU-target. I like
to test my application on the main PC and transfer it later to the ARM
device. But I read somewhere that compiling the source code directly
on the ARM device was possible too. It takes much longer in that way
but with the advantage not to need a cross compiler.

Depends a lot on your embedded module.  See my main page and the link
to using FreePascal for embedded systems.  I have two links near the
top of that page to several modules that work for me.

Also see the environment monitoring project for minimal FreePascal
distributions you can easily try on a module.
