Darie:
Hi all,

I was wondering how I could use the FPC compiler on the Agon Light 2 platform ( https://agonconsole8.github.io/agon-docs/ )

1) Are there any readily available options?

2) Are there any plans to port the compiler for the Z80 / eZ80 platform(s)?

3) What about, specifically, the Agon Light 2?

Thank you :)

TRon:
afaik nothing specific but z80 is there so should work, see wiki.

You'd do yourself a VERY big favour if you posted links when asking about something like that, rather than assuming that the rest of us know- or care- about it.

See TRon's answer, but I don't know whether that has any particular support for the paging or whatever form of memory management that the chip in that machine uses.

main already supports the Z80 together with the targets MSX-DOS and ZX Spectrum. It might need extensions for the eZ80 however (have not checked what the differences were).

No. You'll have to implement a port for it.

Historical note: I've never used the eZ80, but I've used the 64180. FTL Modula-2 for the Z80 allowed functions to be put in distinct pages, but I can't remember whether the page number was part of the declaration or had to be supplied as a separate binder file. Either the compiler or linker inserted prefix page-switching code, and a special version of the linker (which we had to get directly from the author) patched in the page numbers.
