Does FPC support the MINIX 3 target platform? Or has somebody attempted to port FPC to that platform?

Wonder if Intel ME runs fpc...

No, FPC does not support MINIX 3 though I did play around with the idea some years ago (not that there had been any results). Considering that nowadays I think they use ELF as well it shouldn't be too hard to start a port though (not that I'd be the one to do it :P)

Interesting question, particularly now that it's being factory-installed :-)

Yeah. :) I've been reading the Wikipedia page about MINIX 3 and it sounds quite impressive, and some really interesting design choices (self-healing, lower priority of infinite loop code etc). Sounds like it can be a very stable platform.

I played once around with it but never created anything worth to commit to trunk
