theory any of these that use the ARM V7 instruction set
should be equivalent to the Raspberry Pi 2B and in theory if
they have a Linux operating system with the same modules it
requires then the version of Lazarus/Free Pascal for
Raspberry Pi should work on them. The operating words here
are "in theory." There can be subtle differences in the
associated hardware on the board beyond the processor.
Probably you just have to try running apt-get or whichever
installer it supports for the version of Linux it uses and
find out.<br>
