So in order to come further: Which exact model are you thinking of using? I have used FPC/Lazarus on a range of Raspberry Pi models now on RPi3B and it has worked just fine. One has to install carefully from the command line to get the proper versions, but I have written a script to do just that. It works on the Raspbian operating system (a Debian version) and basically does all you need to get the stuff on board. However, it uses a starting fpc compiler built for the RPi3B, which is downloaded from my site (since I could not find a suitable compiler only download). This may or may not work on an Orange Pi device... Warning: On their site's download page are listed a number of instances of Raspbian, but these are not the current Raspbian versions. The ones I found are from 2015-06-06, 2016-11-08, 2016-11-12 and 2016-11-16. So it seems likely they are tweaked versions of the "real" Raspbian, which might cause concerns down the line. Why not go with the original Raspberry Pi instead? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ fpc-other maillist - fpc-other@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-other
