Get binutils for you OS, e.g.
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcbuild/binaries/i386-win32/arm-embedded-*.exe
for windows, put them into the path.

build cross fpc with e.g.
make clean buildbase installbase CROSSINSTALL=1 OS_TARGET=embedded
CPU_TARGET=arm

Compile programs with e.g.
fpc -Parm -Tembedded -Wplpc2124 test.pp

translate them into a format understandable by the programming software
arm-embedded-objcopy -O ihex test.elf test.hex
