The 5.7 MB arm-linux zip is just an easy way to see FPC 2.6.2 work on 
the RPi or BB.  I just wanted to add a link for others that might 
encounter this message thread in the future.  I think most full-time 
programmers will end up wanting to install a full development 
environment like Lazarus, but the "easy" zips let you avoid that until 
later.

In your original message you wrote: "The project I have in mind does not 
need to have a GUI (nor any Android binding)."  The easyfpgui page has 
FPC 2.6.2 but I need to update the 2.6.0 arm-linux release here:

I was the (main) TurboPower TPX person for AsyncPro for the last 5 years 
TurboPower was in business (1998 - 2003), some engineers I work with 
like RealTerm a lot, and I still use AsyncPro in many Delphi projects - 
so I felt like I should mention/promote it a little.  But, no, I haven't 
ported it to Linux.  I'm using Synapse for that: www.CtrlTerm.com
