suggestion arm v8 cpu

[RDP1974 37]

hi Marco Cantu,

please permit me to suggest you a new platform to add to the existing ones: Linux for arm v8 cpu

I used to code for the industry micro boards as hardkernel, rapsberry pi, arm v8 with freepascal (sdl2 audio video, webserver, etc.)

should be a nice addition: with your rtl, firedac, quality stack, will open D to a big industry market

@RDP1974 You should post this as a feature request on quality.embarcadero.com.

Is there a newer post than this one? I.e. one that suggests using the forums - I could not find one, so using the QP is recommended.

If you decide to post a feature request, it needs to be clear on the technical benefits of using ARMv8, i.e. describe why ARMv7 doesn't cover the need.

FWIW there is already this issue with 171 upvotes - it explicitly mentions Raspi but that would be a start. Given that Allen Bauer already had some kind of prototype ready in 2015 it's a shame Embarcadero never moved that forward.

oddly they missed the giant "smart industry" wave (whole over arm64)
