[fpc-pascal] synapser freezes on fopen(FDevice, 0_RDWR or 0_SYNC) on raspberry Pi
I downloaded http://www.turbocontrol.com/easyfpgui.htm which as a zip of example of using synapse on ARM platform. It worked on raspberry Pi (raspbian os) but it uses a specialized trimmed down version of Free Pascal library. I need to work with the traditional free pascal library since my other part of programs rely on them. However, when I extract the relevant code from that example and use the normal fpc compiler (2.6.0) instead of the pparm (2.6.2) and special fp lib inside that zip, my program freezes on synapser.pas TBlockSerial.Connect at the line of fopen(FDevice, 0_RDWR or 0_SYNC). I really don't understand what caused this? a different version of fpc compiler or a different fp lib or because their example is GUI app and mine is just a console mode app? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks. Dennis ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

As for platforms... I remember testing the m68k build on my Atari ST/TT. I remember it being discontinued after that though, so I suppose it's been re-resurrected, probably the TOS/GEM support is dead though.

Re: [fpc-pascal] I have created this 1.3G SD Card Image for Raspberry Pi - Raspbian OS with FPC + Lazarus
Hi Dennis, Just a suggestion for your BT distribution. If you can provide an HTTP download link, then you can use BurnBit to convert it into a torrent. http://burnbit.com/ The link for your file will be: http://burnbit.com/torrent/249144/130702_Raspbian_Lazarus_VNC_Chrome_zip It comes in handy, and doesn't seem plagued with any kind of malware. Thank you, Noah Silva 2013/7/2 Dennis Poon den...@avidsoft.com.hk ** For new users of Raspbery Pi, you can download my SD Card image at: http://api.avidsoft.com.hk/fpc-arm/130702-Raspbian-Lazarus-VNC-Chrome.zip I have also created a BitTorrent file for it but I can only provide seeding during HK hours. Hope it can become prevalent so other seeders in other timezones can complement me. This image is based on 2013-05-25-wheezy-raspbian.img downloaded from raspberry's official web site. I applied the following steps to save you upgrade and installation time (about 45 minutes to an hour) and remove some packages (about 88M ) that FPC users normally don't need.

Ewald, It does not fix it :-( The weird thing is, now even if I run the trimmed down version compiled with 2.6.2, it also freezes. But running sudo minicom -b 9600 -o -D /dev/ttyAMA0 has no problem at all. I tried sudo -i then startx to run X window as root then execute the program, still freezes on connect to /dev/ttyAMA0 It is so weird :-( Dennis Ewald wrote: On 08 Jul 2013, at 12:09, Dennis Poon wrote: However, when I extract the relevant code from that example and use the normal fpc compiler (2.6.0) instead of the pparm (2.6.2) and special fp lib inside that zip, my program freezes on synapser.pas TBlockSerial.Connect at the line of fopen(FDevice, 0_RDWR or 0_SYNC).

Re: [fpc-pascal] synapser freezes on fopen(FDevice, 0_RDWR or 0_SYNC) on raspberry Pi
Although not 100% sure, I kinda fixed the problem. I remove a lot *.o *.ppu from the example and recompile again, both fpc 2.6 and ppcarm 2.6.2 can produce programs that work. I don't understand why and I am happy for now. thanks for advice.
