I know that FPC works under ARM+Linux. Is this also true for the
Cortex version of ARM? One of our major applications is written in C++
simply because it is to run in the future on an embedded system as
well as the PC. Well the embedded processor has been chosen - the
Luminary (TI) ARM-Cortex processor.
Will FPC run on this processor? Does anyone have experience? If FPC
runs I may be able to convert my last C++ app to pascal.
Thanks,
Andreas

From my findings Luminary is Cortex-M3 based, in which case there's
needed a base code RTL for it. FPC will generate code for it, and it
should generally work, but it's not very optimized yet(other than
generic optimization), and there are many unsupported inline assembler
instructions(primarily special system instructions). But there are
ofcourse workarounds for the assembler code
Currently there's only half working stub code for the STM32F103
Cortex-M3 based chip, but I'll gladly help if you have any questions
Regards,
Jeppe
