"Chapter 2 of the book "Building Parallel, Embedded, and Real-Time
Applications with Ada" by McCormick, Singhoff, and Hugues includes a
long section on low level programming with Ada. It covers both memory
mapped and port I/O architectures. We develop polling and interrupt
based device drivers. Everything is done using high level Ada
abstractions for low level features. It includes a small amount of
machine code insertion. We just turned in the final page proofs and
expect to have hard oopy by April. "
1) Will this cover Ada 95 as well as 2005?
2) Do you cover some non-Intel x86 HW?
3) Will it be sold in the USA?

Yes

Very little SPECIFIC hardware is covered. The only hardware specific
topic is an example of inserting x86 machine code.
> 3) Will it be sold in the USA?
Yes

Me too. Amazon UK has it on sale (not pre-order) already now. Can
someone confirm that the book is available or is it an error on
Amazon's side?

Says "30 April 2011" under Product details
Interestingly, the price is $61 (38 GBP) vs $90 on the US Amazon.

Usually dispatched within 9 to 12 days does indeed imply it is released
yet the 30th April date presents a contradiction. I am gonna order it
and see what happens !

Indeed! If anyone finds a copy earlier they can let me know so I can
get one :) I think that April is realistic. I do appreciate all of
the excitment generated in this thread. Frank, Jérôme, and I hope our
work justifies it. This semester is the second time students in my
real-time embedded systems class have used the manuscript. The first
group did a good job telling me where we needed to improve our
explanations. Authors learn a lot from novices. The second group
hasn't made any suggestions (yet) so maybe we got it right.

I'm sure it's deserved.
Does the book cover any Ada 2012 innovations?

I'm looking forward to getting it; but I might not be able to when
it's
"hot off the presses."
