There are different ways to use FPC (and Lazarus) to design and test

Using a PC to do the biggest part of the software locally, as I
described in my original post seems to be commonly agreed upon.
But how to debug and finetune the stuff in the device itself ?
One thing I've done in the past (using a couple of different Modula-2
compilers) was to code in such a way that the program would run on a PC
as well as on the target. The algorithms were sorted on the PC with full
access to debugging facilities, the code was then moved onto the target
(protected-mode x86 bare-metal) where the greatest problem was
memory-access exceptions which were all caught by a logic analyser.
