IIRC the AdaIC stuff didn't talk about the major systems on the 777, but
some of the ancillaries. Probably the two major computer systems on the
aircraft, the Aircraft Information Management System and the Primary
Flight Control System (aka fly by wire system) were both developed in
Ada.
There was at least one book written on the 777 development, '21st
Century Jet' (to go with the TV series), how deeply it touched on
software development I'm not certain.
