Hello,

five years ago, I realized an embedded project with fpc 2.3.1. I used an AT91SAM7S256 Controller (ARMv4T). I am considering to use a more recent fpc compiler for a new project with the same controller.

So my question: Which fpc compiler is recommended nowadays? Upcoming 3.0.0 or trunk?

Regards, Bernd.

3.0, unless you need features that are only available in trunk. For ARMv4T, I don't think there's anything relevant (except if you absolutely want to try the new internal assembler for ARM).
