Using multiple OrangePI-PC's here

Haven't loaded FPC/Lazarus directly on the OPI, but I am running apps
pre-built (on an Odroid UX4) using fpc/lazarus on it.

So far all good - except

the following functions fail (within fpc/lazarus calls)

Params all return blank - so cant use Param(0) etc
ApplicatioName returns blank
ProgramDirectory returns blank

There may be others, but haven't hit them yet.

I have work-arounds for these if you need them

You should report your findings to the bugtracker so they can be fixed.

Thanks Steve, some of those blanks could be irritating. I am really 
encouraged by how people are willing to help. When the time comes those 
workaround could become handy, especially since I don't have a clue 
about the linus API.

[Andreas Berger]

Bo, thanks for your two answers. I'm also pushing RPi, but the company 
is looking price. However, it looks like the OPi is closing the gap so 
who knows what will be when the company makes the final decision. It was 
good to see that if FPC works on RPi it should work on OPi.


Bo, when the time comes for me to start working on any Pi, can I get in 
contact with you to help get FPC started?

Why not go with the original Raspberry Pi instead?

I found a test video on Youtube:

Seems like going original RPi is better.
