I wish I knew the answer. The problem is that Ada for ARM is virtually
non-existent, I mean here full Ada 2005 (+ sockets). So we stick to Atom.
There are newer, smaller Atom-based SBCs. You should probably look there
rather than for ARM, unless bare-board were OK for you.
P.S. Do not forget to ask AdaCore through official channels. They don't
have it, but as long as nobody demands ARM, it won't happen.
