Yes - this relates to the TS-7390... :)
One year ago I started working on an educational project using
FreePascal:
http://www.turbocontrol.com/monitor.htm
Two weeks ago I put 3 files on the site that contain the minimum
FreePascal files needed to compile a "Hello World" application:
http://www.turbocontrol.com/helloworld.htm
Today I put files on the site that contain the minimum files needed to
compile a "Simple Serial" application using FreePascal:
http://www.turbocontrol.com/simpleserial.htm
My files not only have sample source code but also include all of the
compiler files needed to compile the source code. I presently have 3
files for i386 Win32, i386 Linux, and *ARM* Linux. FreePascal is mature
and supports a lot of other OSs and platforms so I hope to add files for
those as soon as I am able. Below I've copied part of an earlier email.
Please share your ideas, comments and suggestions. Thanks!

Regarding my files...
Yes, experienced programmers will probably want to install all of
FreePascal and Synapse when they want to try it out. But there seems to
be a place for a minimal set of install files so a person can see things
work before doing the regular install. It also seems that such minimal
sets of files would also be handy for people that are trying FreePascal
and Synapse out on limited resource embedded systems. I am developing
an application (using fpGUI) directly on an ARM device and thereby
avoiding the complexities of cross-compiling.
CodeTyphon from www.PilotLogic.com is the opposite (but probably useful)
approach where you can download the latest FreePascal and Lazarus and
many third-party components all easy to install:
