There might not be general Ada solutions for these processors but there 
a SPARK one.  Because SPARK is designed to require little or no run-time 
library support it is possible to design and analyse in SPARK and then 
compile to C en route to running on small processors.  The translation 
is simple because SPARK in unambiguous and because issues like array 
bounds violation have all been dealt with and eliminated at the SPARK 
design level.  I am presenting a paper on this at Ada Europe this year.
