Hi,
Is there needed something special to setup when I want compile for my
Symbol MC9200 device, which has Windows Embedded Compact 7 and Dual
core 1GHz OMAP 4 processor (ARM Cortex-A9).
When I set up simplest project with only few lines of code and compile
for OS="WinCE", CPU family="arm" and I run this application I get
Access Violation on target device. I have tested with target CPU =
(default), ARMv3, ARMv4 but other CPUs like ARMv5,... does not compile
("Error while assembling exitcode 1").
Is ARM Cortex-A9 supported in Free Pascal compiler and does "Access
violation" can be caused by wrong cross compiler setup?
What to do to get working solution?
Answering my own question:
When I build cross compiler using FpcUpDeluxe, where I set "Cross Build
Options Override" to "-Cparmv7A" (The Cortex -A9 cores implement the
ARMv7-A architecture) then I can sucessfully compile my application for
WinCE 7.
Drawback is that I must now maintain 2 FPC installations/cross-compilers
(Win32-WinCE): one for targer WinCE 5,6 with CPUs ARMv5 and another for
WinCE 7 with ARMv7 CPU (It is not sufficient to setup build modes in
project ... also all units must be pre-compiled ... at least I do not
know how to bypass this limitation)
-Laco.
