<div>Reinier, and to all of you who have received an
Odroid device,<br>
<br>
</div>
just a quick note to announce that I have been able to
compile on the Odroid the XMLRAD demo project Ultima,<br>
it is over 100KLOC leveraging low level native APIs, it is
a fully functionnal embedded web application server stack,<br>
the whole toolchain FPC+Lazarus source tree has been
compiled using FPCUP for Odroid provided by Reinier,<br>
it tooks 30 minutes or so to build the development
environment automatically (FPC+Lazarus),<br>
then it took me less than 2 hours to port the demo project
Ultima to compile properly on Odroid U3,<br>
<br>
</div>
</div>
I can now safely recommend FPCUP which provides the easiest
migration path for those willing to port on Linux ARM existing
freepascal program,<br>
</div>
<div>no need anylonger the impossible cross compile strategy, <br>
now the debugging is performed directly on the device, this is
a big advance,<br>
</div>
<div>the demo program is able to run almost properly (it is big
step from running the Windows EXE compiled with Delphi to run
on Linux using Wine for x86 without being able to debug),<br>
it took me less than 4 hours to debug the few issues I faced,<br>
I updated accordingly the few modifications required to the
XMLRAD repo at sourceforge,<br>
<br>
please keep the FPC community updated as you are making
progress on porting your existing program to Odroid using
FPCUP,<br>
</div>
<div>being able to deploy web application server appliances into
the wild for less than $100 is a real opportunity,<br>
</div>
<div><br>

<div>Kind regards, Jerome.<br>
