That is a shame !

(When the time comes,) I would be very interested in a decently 
supported MIPS compiler and IDE-support, as the PIC32 series, that is 
based on a MIPS CPU, offers a lot of really nice and cheap chips and 
rumors say that there very soon will be even more, providing lots of 
internal RAM and FLASH.

I don't understand why RPI (still) gets so much interest.

A friend of mine just bought two BeagleBone "Black" boards for EUR 38.- 
(+VAT) each. With the extremely versatile and well supported TI 1 GHz 
chip (that is taken from TI's "AM..." series of devices for "embedded" 
use instead of for "cellphone" use), with 512 MB RAM and additional 
"internal SD-Card", and with a HDMI socket.

He is up to try to install and develop with FPC/Lazarus ASAP. (Please 
com back with any question on that behalf, I'm going to forward them.)

I definitively would use this board for my future "embedded" projects.
