[fpc-devel] arm embedded

[Jeppe Johansen]

1)
stm32f103 is a thumb2 only device, and you cannot generate a rtl for 
both <=armv5 and thumb2. You need to modify the makefile to generate 
either a thumb2 rtl or a arm rtl. You can do that by removing the arm 
core units from CPU_UNITS and overriding the FPC_OPT to include -Cpcortexm3

2)
You don't set the instruction set. You have to override it if you 
compile for a specific chip, when you call the compiler, otherwise it'll 
simply default to armv5, no matter what the compiler(rtl) was built for

A short guide, which you probably already knew:

To include a new arm chip, you have to edit compiler/arm/cpuinfo.pas:
-Add an identifier in tcontrollertype
-Add a related name in controllertypestr
-Add a unit name string in controllerunitstr

-Create a unit in rtl/embedded/arm/ with startup code like the other files

-Create a linkerscript in compiler/systems/t_embed.pas which matches the 
memory map of the target device
