There are probably more, but one, possibly not exactly what you
are interested in, is:

Ada for PICs

[Andrew Carroll]

I would like to do a robot project (with my niece and nephew).  I
recently bought a "Basic Stamp" from Parallax but I _think_ it can only
be used with the Parallax PIC chips and can only be programmed using the
parallax basic language.  I would like something more flexible.  Does
Ada have a tool (compiler) for programming PIC microcontrollers?  If
anyone has experience with this please provide links to the proper
mailing list(s) and pages with more information.  In particular I would
like to use the Ada programming language (tell me what I need to use it)
and to build/buy a board on which many different microcontrollers can be
programmed.

There is a project to build gnat for AVR controllers at
