Embedded Linux really needs Dlang for the IOT market

hi all,
I think the D community should make more effort to make Dlang
more easier to use on embedded Linux(mostly are arm and mips,
powerpc).
currently, LDC seems to be more complete, but we can only see a
hundred words on the wiki about the cross-compiling for arm.
I'm working in a company now for IOT market. We have a lot of
things like embedded linux systems: has a basic linux kernel,
uclibc/eglibc system, built using buildroot or yocto.
for such a device, we need to write lost of code for dealing
networking, web interface, database storage and sometimes data
algorithm.
And, For most of the devices on the market, like routers,
fiber-port routers, ethernet switches, and most of the
termination system made by Cisco, Broadcom, Huawei and others
running at least millions of lines of C code on the embedded
linux system.
So, We have very big chance for spreading to these market. D is
really syntax-clean and provides more productive.
We need tutorial for cross-compiling a whole d project for the
ARM, MIPS linux systems, and we need the cross-compile toolchain
ready to download.
so, any ideas?
