Q:
From your point of view, when / how / how likely is Arm (Pi) support likely to be added (for FMXLinux & also normal non-GUI Linux on Pi)

A:
I would love for it to happen and am always pushing for it. But it isn't on the roadmap yet.
Q:
That's not my question. I have Delphi professional with update for the next three years. I am under the impression that I need to have Enterprise or Architect to download this

A:
Ah, sorry I misunderstood. FmxLinux requires the Delphi for Linux compiler, which is only included in Enterprise and Architect.
Q:
Is this now fully native code? The previous effort needed a run-time.

A:
It is fully native. Just a single binary is deployed. Later I'll show you how to add a Desktop Entity to create a launcher with icon, etc.
Q:
A lot of great info (thanks), but too much to take in at once. How soon will the slides/replay be up do you think?

A:
I'll have the slides online later today. Replay might be a week or so.
Q:
Had one small issue when using WSL + X410 - not able to debug through PAServer - but program runs fine - not really supported setup - I know - or maybe just me making a mistake :D

A:
I noticed the same thing, but decided not to try covering it today. It is an issue for port binding. Since Windows Subsystem for Linux is technically running on the same machine as Windows you are trying to bind twice to the same port with the IDE and PAServer. So it gets a conflict (at least that is what I think is happening)

#ObjectPascalNotes

Whenever you call an API for a given platform in your Object Pascal code you lose the ability to recompile the application for any other platform than the specific one. The exception is if the call is surrounded by platform specific
$IFDEF
compile directives.
