I have heard of quite a few developers using fpGUI directly (not via the
LCL-fpGUI widgetset which is still in Alpha state) on embedded devices -
with great success. They reported that the executables are smaller than
LCL equivalents, apps use less memory and have a much smaller library
dependency.

Paul Breneman has even made a small FPC cross-compilation distribution
of FPC & fpGUI targeting WinCE on ARM devices, in a small 2-5MB
download. I'm pretty sure something similar could be created for
targeting Linux embedded devices too.

I unfortunately don't do software development on embedded devices, so
can't be of any further help in that regards.
