Lazarus on Cortex a53
superc:
Hello,
I'm watch an interesting board (RockPi e) based on Rockchip RK3328, I would like to know from you, if Lazarus can be used with this processor,
thanks in advance.

a Cortex a53 is similar to a RasPi3 CPU, so it looks it is possible for fpc. Lazarus is the IDE, fpc is the compiler.

If your question is truly about /can/ then yes if you question is if it is feasible to develop on the machine itself with Lazarus then most probably no. The E edition comes with a max of 2Gb of memory which is about the amount of memory required to rebuild Lazarus (and your OS needs some of that 2Gb memory as well). So unless wanting to do a lot of swapping I would not recommend using it to develop with Lazarus on the machine itself. Other than that from a development perspective it is just a Linux machine (it runs debian/ubuntu) with some extra hardware (probably not supported by FPC ootb).

Thank you for the replies, now i will try to create a small example server program with the crosscompiler and make a small report in the forum.

crosscompiling to such a device is one of the best choices. Be careful and use the correct libs for linking. I think you will use the Debian distribution for this device. https://rockpi.eu/RockpiE
