With ZBasic's Native mode compiler via GCC, implementing an ARM7 or LPC1xx version would be easier?

I know the run time I/O conversion would be a lotta work. Maybe do only selected I/O, not all. I have some I/O to contribute.

But there'd be a bigger market demand, eh? There's a void.
Coridium's BASIC for ARM is not in the same universe of sophistication and suitability-for-purpose as is ZBasic. And it's about all there is today.

Porting native mode wouldn't be much different than porting the VM. We've looked briefly at the technical details of an ARM port, identifying a few issues that would need to be resolved. There is no specific plan for completing such a project, however.

I assume that you were referring to LPC21xx. Is that correct?

Well, I use the LPC21xx and like them. But the Cortex M3 seems to be the focus of interest now.
