[fpc-devel] where do download BinUtils for ARM - Raspberry Pi?

[Dennis Poon]

I have successfully compiled my lnet+SSL program on Raspberry Pi. Due to 
its slow CPU, it took a while but everything worked :-)
Good to know there are more low-cost easy to use ARM platform in the market.

Please do share your experience with BeagleBone especially on how to 
write OSless FPC applications on it.  That should tremendously reduce 
the boot time.  Currently Pi took 20 seconds to boot to text shell of 
the default OS Raspbian.  Hear for ArchLinux, it takes 10.
How long does BeagleBone take to boot to shell?

I suppose an embedded (OS-less) app shall boot very quickly.
