ARM OS support

Hi Fred,

with the start of "micro servers" under ARM processor (like Raspberry PI, Banana PI, HummingBoard, and other projects) I feel that the power of Purebasic could be a great strengh... (what about a little SWAT ?)
I'm working on a domotic project and we've change our hardware because I need Purebasic (compatible small PC with i386 linux OS...) but it's more expensive (thanks Intel) and upper power consumption...

Are you thinking to a version of Purebasic on these processor ? Purebasic on Raspberry Pi would be a major event in computer word :idea:

Sorry, it seems that I'm not the first to ask you that (http://forums.purebasic.com/english/vie ... &hilit=ARM) but as we're in 2014, you may have change your point of view (but spiderbasic probably took you too much time).
Maybe could you explain us why this way wouldn't/couldn't be explored ?

That would be really cool, but I don“t believe PB-Team will do this.

Been requested last year (and many times before):

That post links to an interview with Fred where he states no other
platforms are currently being considered for PureBasic support.
