RP2350 Cross-compiler?

[PaulFMichell]

Is it currently possible to build a cross compiler for the Arm Cortex-M33 cores (or even the Hazard3 RISC-V cores) on the RP2350?  I've had success building binaries for an RP2040 (thank you all those involved!), but there doesn't appear to be any direct support yet for the RP2350. 

I do not pretend to understand the Cortex-M product line, but I did wonder if there were FPC build options that could produce a Cortex-M33 compatible elf file?

Thanks,

Paul

I theory this is on my ToDo List and I have everything necessary to do the task, but in real life this has been my status since the first RP2350 boards came out (08. of August.... Time flies...)

So better do not hold your breath, perhaps somebody else is faster than me to make progress on this topic but recently my priorities are with another hobby of mine....

Although it nags me quite a bit to see all those nice RP2350 boards on my table, only able to run Arduino or Circuitpython, although I think Circuitpython is a strong performer on those boards and when I am honest, even easier to use than Freepascal

Michael,

Wikipedia states that FreePascal supports it.
From your answer and expert knowledge I guess I have to deduct that is not quite the case?

Maybe just a case of missing RISC-V support for it? The ARM part is covered or should be covered.

And it definitely needs recent trunk, not 3.2.2.

I ordered a board for testing when I read the question, so basically this is a half-baked answer.

Thanks for the reply Michael.  I can sympathise with the conflicting hobby dilemma.  I'm about to start a project with an Interstate 75W board and I've got C working on it using VSCode so I can at least dodge the Python bullet.  However, I would far rather have used Free Pascal and I was just hoping!
