Hello!

Does fpc support the ESP32 microcontroller?

The ESP32 is used in many development boards and offers Wi-Fi and
Bluetooth wireless capabilities, and a dual core CPU.

It would be nice if the ESP32 could be programmed in PASCAL.

Cheers,
ATILIUS

No. Esp32 uses the xtensa arch

yes using Xtensa cross compiler but its still beta
I have tried to set it up but so far no success
The compiler builds ok however I do not know where to put the xtensa
binary files

Did you follow the directions on the Wiki?

Not quite. Afair there are three lines in ESP 32, and two are using
xtensa indeed, but one is using RISC-V

Like  ESP32-H2  or  ESP32-C3

I heard RISC-V support, perhaps not very stable yet, was added to FPC

At the time the question was asked the RISC-V variants of the ESP32
did not exist yet.

Both RISC-V and Xtensa are stable enough to be considered usable.
