Hi,

Recently, the price of Nokia n810 dropped significantly and i got some interest in it, but before i buy i'd like to know if, currently, is possible to compile programs with fpc to this platform.

Is someone using fpc to develop in such devices?

If it runs the Symbian S60 OS, then the answer is no. I have the Nokia 5800XM and also wanted to write software for it using FPC, but I can't.

Maybe while waiting for a Symbian compiler you can try MIDlet Pascal, which generates Java bytecode that runs on any J2ME device.

The publisher site http://www.midletpascal.com/ is down at this moment, but you can download it on

Looks like a candidate for the fpc armel port.

Yes. Nokia n810 runs the Maemo platform on top of Linux OS.

The maemo platform will be used in the Nokia flagship phones, replacing S60, starting with the upcoming N900

because the N900 is almost out, but for my purposes the screen is less interesting than the N810.

I am also seriously interested in the Optimae 5E with Maemo, but it will probably not be available in Europe.
Any chinese FPC user reading this and interested in a percentage :-) ?

I will also procure one and try to develop Qt/FPC/Lazarus applications on it, I do not expect problems (no garantie :-). You can always try to already compile on scratchbox. When I developed on Zaurus, any problems were immediately solved by FPC Dev.

To Luiz, last time I tried to compile something for my n800 I was unsuccessful, but it was a long time ago and the eabi port of fpc should be better now.

are sources of all drivers available to recompile under Mer? That is the problem always, like with zaurus or archos 5, a lot of the H/W (audio, touchscreen, special keys, ... ) may not work on a non vendor linux OS (whilst vendor linux may not provide arm gcc).

I've heard it was rather slow, but faster with Mer (but no sound, keys, wifi not perfect...)

I am even considering TomTom (framebuffer), because they are not so expensive. If the project is accepted, the users would need to buy 100 devices, it is unlikely that they will accept to pay for something like the Asus R50A which is 1000 EUR over here.

thx for the info.

I'm not sure, but I think that everything is working, or at least the vendor is cooperative with the mer effort.

Well, as I don't own one I don't really know. I just follow mer development on http://talk.maemo.org and both the smartq5 and the smartq7 pop up very often.
There's also a status page on the wiki
