If you can give me remote access(VNC, SSH) to this RPi system, I might be able to have a look and give it a try.Thanks but I have put the Pi400 back in its box & shall use my Suse Linux laptop that loaded everything eventually.
I thought with the Pico & Pi being made by the same company people on the RPi site would be using RPi gear to develop software for Pico on Pi400 but not using Pascal I guess. :(
Any error messages with the old 2021 Pi400 OS are irrelevant since FPCupdeluxe does nothing with the latest Pi software Bullseye issued April 2022 & instructions say update first. Someone needs to test FPCupdeluxe on the latest Pi software is my point or state it doesn't work on a Pi. I wouldn't know where to start.
Yeah sure. "You thought". And on the basis of that, without considering that you might be mistaken, you started off your first post with a slew of snarky comments :-(This isn't snarky? I don't think others were upset by my post they saw my comments are out of irritation that in the 21st century a useful piece of software doesn't even start when I followed the instructions given.
Now let's put all that behind us and start over.Yes forget about using FPC etc on the RPi as a development platform. Nobody seems to be using Pascal anyway.
Right now, I'm not diving in to look at how you should have set it up, and suggest that you listen to DonAlfredo.There is nothing to set up in loading new RPi software previously called Raspian and now adopted as their version RPi OS. Download image to SD card plug in and go except when the display default is wrong when you have to change the config file. Everything else works on the latest Pi400 software except FPCDeluxe. This leaves two possibilities either the FPCDeluxe downloaded file is corrupt if that is statistically possible or the new RPi OS is different in some way. As I said in my previous post I shall use my Suse Linux computer instead and nobody seems to be using Lazarus on RPi so there is no point in anybody wasting time on it until people want to use it.
I have been designing electronics & embedded software since 1980 starting high level on Algol 68 with over 10 years on medical equipment where there is no room for errors or bugs.
And that is exactly what you did: guessed that a Pi400 was in some way similar to a Pico, and when things went wrong bulled on regardless until you were so unhappy you started looking for a scapegoat.This is a shame and of no help. :(
I would appreciate some useful comments.
I looked at the config files. What about the common 64 bit vs 32 bit problem? The new software doesn't have 64 bit mode selected. What does the FPCupdeluxe software do on the ARM?
I think the ARM code is 32 bit. The new software is set for 64 bit mode not the other way around as I typed in my last post. I read RPi only went 64 bit in February and the original Pi400 code was 2021 so was running in 32 bit mode where FPCupdeluxe did run.
AARCH64-Linux IS supported by fpcupdeluxe. No problems there, I think, but I have only RPI4's, not a 400.
As there shouldn't be as aside from the form factor and the internal use of one of the USB ports for the keyboard the RPi400 is an RPi4 (we tested that at work for our own operating system). So if you say that fpcupdeluxe is working without problems on RPi4 then Ruptor has simply done something wrong or had wrong assumptions and it would be nice to know what these were, because maybe something either needs to be cleared or there is indeed some bug with some specific hardware configuration.

Did you test it with Bullseye?
If you can give me remote access(VNC, SSH) to this RPi system, I might be able to have a look and give it a try.I didn't want to waste expert time on a problem that I thought was probably my finger trouble. What do you suggest to run FPCupdeluxe on a 64 bit arm platform given the following?
AARCH64-Linux IS supported by fpcupdeluxe. No problems there, I think, but I have only RPI4's, not a 400.I downloaded fpcupdeluxe-aarch64-linux to see if it would run and it did for over 40 minutes then gave this error followed by others obviously.
At least I have kicked the can further down the road. :)
