I've started developing some embedded ARM products (for city tornado 
warning sirens) using FreePascal.  Thankfully FPC 2.2.2 ARM-Linux works 
just fine on the board I'm using.

But I'd like to understand more about the different options that FPC 
supports, and maybe add more examples at this page:
   http://www.turbocontrol.com/helloworld.htm

oabi & hard float - default FPC 2.2.2 ARM-Linux?
oabi & soft float
eabi & hard float
eabi & soft float

Are those the main options?

FreePascal is only precompiled for the first configuration?

Thanks in advance for any advice.  I sure do need to study up on this 
more so links or info would be appreciated.
