My main reply point was NOT the word "clone"... My point is that the Orange seemed to be a clone or a derivative of the RPi by the info on their website. They even list Raspbian (clearly for the RPi) as one of the operating systems, so that is why I questioned the use of Orange over the original RPi. With the Rpi there is a lot of experience in running FPC/Lazarus available on these lists. With Orange it seems like you are much worse off, basically on your own. And Andreas wrote "I am totally unpracticed in Linux", which makes his task even more difficult. So, Andreas: Go with a standard RPi3 and get to know the way it works, then if you are OK try porting what you did to the Orange if the company forces it on you. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ fpc-other maillist - [email protected] http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-other
