Suppose you have requirements for a basic embedded system such
as a few digital I/O, analog I/O, RSxxx communication links,
alphanumeric LCD, etc.

The usual way is to select a microcontroller with the required
I/O and based on the complexity some amount of RAM and ROM.

You often choose a microcontroller from a family you are
familiar with. You then select an OS or no OS, depending
on the requirements.

If you decide to write the code in Ada, how do you know
there will be a compiler that will target the microcontroller?

Do you have to ask every vendor or is there a list of
supported CPU for each compiler?

How will the choice of Ada affect the amount of RAM and ROM
needed? 

Regards
