I assume it is possible to make something similar for Lazarus and Windows, I don't know if it already exists. For integrated development with FPC 3.0.1 MSEide+MSEgui git master version is necessary: https://gitlab.com/mseide-msegui/mseide-msegui >From MSEide+MSEgui README.TXT: " Crosscompiling and remote debugging i386-linux -> arm-linux *********************************************************** For Raspberry Pi: - Establish a ssh login without password (public key authentication). - On the i386-linux host install the scp program - download and extract http://sourceforge.net/projects/mseide-msegui/files/fpcrossarm/crossfpc-i386_linux-eabihf_3_0_1.tar.gz to <your crossfpc directory>. - Start MSEide, in 'Settings'-'Configure MSEide'-'Global Macros' add: Name Value CROSSMSEDIR <MSEide+MSEgui directory> CROSSFPCDIR <your crossfpc directory> HOSTIP <the IP of the host> REMOTEIP <the IP of the remote target> REMOTEPORT <the remote port, ex: 2345> REMOTEUSER pi - 'Project'-'New'-'From Template', select "crossarmdefault.prj" or "crossarmconsole.prj". - Create the new project. - 'Project'-'Options'-'Macros', set the TARGETPROJECTDIR value to the project path in remote target, ex: "/home/pi/proj/testcase". - Check the TARGETENV macro. - If your application needs additional libraries copy them from Raspberry Pi /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf or /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf to <your crossfpc directory>/eabihf/lib Press F9 and hope the best. ;-) " MSEide+MSEgui also runs amazingly fast natively on the Raspberry Pi, the limiting factor is FPC compiling speed and memory consumption especially for smart linking.
