Hi,
I could be able to purchase a number of second hand intelligent
barcode scanners. I have project in mind where I could use such
devices.
The scanners run Windows CE 5. Is it possible and advisable to
develop for these devices using Lazarus ?
I know Lazarus has support for Windows CE, but at the moment I
don't find which versions are supported.
Lazarus (LCL) supports WinCE. I use it for Windows Mobile 6.5.
To what extent does the choice of CPU matter?
In what sense?
Sven mentions x86. I see Loongson (MIPS-compatible) runs it. There was
ARM, obviously, and I think there was some other obscure architecture.
In the case of ARM, and I'm particularly thinking about Linux on the
Raspberry Pi here, there's different subarchitectures.
Arm has different sub architectures indeed. Lazarus has a selection
dropdown list that lists a few of them. But IIRC, WinCE is limited to
ARMv4 or below.
So I think there's a real possibility that there's CE-compatible
boards which could give FPC problems. I'd be happy to be told that's
wrong.
In general:
- FPC should be able to compile for the target CPU.
- WinCE should run on the target.
- Now you can worry if Lazarus WinCE programs could give problems on
that target.
But better ask on the FPC list.
