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.
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.
We currently don't support mips64-wince. If you should have a need for
it, patches are welcome though. ;)
Otherwise it should merely require setting the target CPU
subarchitecture correctly (mainly for ARM ones) and maybe a patch here
and there if something is handled too Linux specific for now in the
compiler.
Regards,
Sven
