[fpc-pascal] how to generate Free Pascal program for Open source router OpenWrt?

[Dennis Poon]

I did some search and it seems the CPU Atheros used by Netgear is MIPS. 
I will try to learn how to cross compile into MIPS.
If it does not work on the virtual box, I will try to run it directly in 
the router via ssh. (the virtual box virtual machine image was provided 
by the OpenWrt web site. The machine ran ok, just not ok with my free 
pascal compiled program).

Thanks for all your feedback.
