What about the ARM CPU's? lazarus / 32-Linux ---------------------------------------------------------------------- recog1 · 2021-04-29 16:57 Good for LAZ in the x86 world of machines! ...  What about the ARM CPU's? ... Particularly my little RASP PI 4? [Edited title; split from Lazarus Announcements] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PascalDragon · 2021-04-30 07:13 Free Pascal and Lazarus are working on ARM CPUs for years already. See here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MarkMLl · 2021-04-30 07:42 In case OP doesn't know how to follow a link: I think FPC's supported ARM since before the Raspberry Pi came out. I was using it back when ARM-based NSLU2 "Slugs" were a thing, and compiling and running Lazarus natively on them. MarkMLl ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ccrause · 2021-04-30 09:52 Some more details to support the previous replies: ARM support was added to FPC in 2004 and appeared in stable release 2.0.  Which is also as far back as the svn history goes. Raspberry Pi was released in February 2012 and the first report of running Lazarus on a Pi (that I could find) was around May 2012. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thaddy · 2021-04-30 10:27 FPC was already included in the repositories for Raspbian since its first release... So since feb 2012. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hansotten · 2021-04-30 10:58 Quote from: ccrause on April 30, 2021, 11:52:38 amSome more details to support the previous replies: ARM support was added to FPC in 2004 and appeared in stable release 2.0.  Which is also as far back as the svn history goes. Raspberry Pi was released in February 2012 and the first report of running Lazarus on a Pi (that I could find) was around May 2012. I  used FPC first in March/April 2012 on my first Pi 1.  Runs fine for CLI apps, the FPC IDE looked familiar to e.g Turbo Pascal 7. Lazarus was a bit too heavy. After developing and debugging on a bigger machine, and with swap file enlargement just enough to compile.  The desktop experience on the first RPi's is, eh .. On a RPi14 with a SSD  it feels close to my I7 desktop. I went to many recipes of getting FPC and Lazarus on the Pi's.  Still not as easy as installing/upgrading on Windows ... And for the Zero I do use the compiler options for the ARM11. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fred vS · 2021-04-30 11:48 Note too that fpc works perfectly on ARM aarch64 with Raspberry OS 64 bit (much better than some "ténors" like Gimp or Firefox for ARM aarch 64 compiled with a other compiler).

It consisted of a self-developed circuit board with an AT91SAM7S256 (ARMv4T/ARM7TDMI) microcontroller and an AT91RM9200 (ARMv4T/ARM9TDMI) processor running Linux (2.6.28.2/OABI/FPC 2.2.0). For the AT91SAM7S256 I had used the GBA port (FPC 2.3.1, Rev 11880). The devices are still running 24/7 :-) Regards, Bernd.
