Something like a library or unit that implement uPnP in a
crossplatform way for FPC.

uPnP is implemented for most platforms that support it: uPnP relies on
code that is on the device, the hardware, so platforms like Windows
and Linux will have no trouble handling it.
I am not quite sure what you mean. Do you mean to write uPnP code for
a certain device? It is designed to be X-platform. And yes, that can
be done with fpc-embedded if it has a supported chip.
In effect it is a protocol, not real hardware.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Plug_and_Play which is
actually pretty good.

Thanks for replying.
I have been tasked with the job of implementing uPnP support for an
existing software which is meant to run on at least windows, Linux and
Mac.

I have some Windows UPnP-code, but this is certainly not cross-
platform !

Would be nice if you can share it please, this would be a step forward
at least.
Thanks.

Last time I looked at this code was in 2011.
And it was written for Delphi.
But you will get the idea I hope !
