I'm trying to port the bare-board GNAT run-time to a Coretex-M0+ (NXP KV11Z=
7) processor. I'm new to concurrency and have been reading through the run-=
times for the STM32 targets to understand how the tasks and protected objec=
ts are implemented, however, there seems to be a web of dependencies betwee=
n the different packages and wrappers of wrappers of wrappers for types and=
 subprograms.

* Is there any tool available to scan through the source code and generate =
a graphical call graph to help visualize the different dependencies?

* Has anyone on the forum successfully ported a bare-board run-time? What w=
as your experience and do you have any tips?

* Is porting the run-time just a matter of updating the linker, a few packa=
ges, and a GPR script, or is there some fundamental implementation changes =
to consider?

Thank you,
Daniel
