I have successfully compiled my lnet+SSL program on Raspberry Pi. Due to
its slow CPU, it took a while but everything worked :-)
Good to know there are more low-cost easy to use ARM platform in the market.
Please do share your experience with BeagleBone especially on how to
write OSless FPC applications on it. That should tremendously reduce
the boot time. Currently Pi took 20 seconds to boot to text shell of
the default OS Raspbian. Hear for ArchLinux, it takes 10.
How long does BeagleBone take to boot to shell?
I suppose an embedded (OS-less) app shall boot very quickly.

That is a shame !
(When the time comes,) I would be very interested in a decently
supported MIPS compiler and IDE-support, as the PIC32 series, that is
based on a MIPS CPU, offers a lot of really nice and cheap chips and
rumors say that there very soon will be even more, providing lots of
internal RAM and FLASH.
Now, my plan B is to create a cross compiler (from x86 Linux) to
ARM-Raspberry Pi
I don't understand why RPI (still) gets so much interest.
A friend of mine just bought two BeagleBone "Black" boards for EUR
38.- (+VAT) each. With the extremely versatile and well supported TI 1
GHz chip (that is taken from TI's "AM..." series of devices for
"embedded" use instead of for "cellphone" use), with 512 MB RAM and
additional "internal SD-Card", and with a HDMI socket.
He is up to try to install and develop with FPC/Lazarus ASAP. (Please
com back with any question on that behalf, I'm going to forward them.)
I definitively would use this board for my future "embedded" projects.
