Hi folks,

This is my first post to c.l.a, I've been lurking for a couple of weeks 
in consideration of picking up Ada for some embedded systems research 
work I am doing.

Anyway this may sound a bit ambitious, but can anyone offer any comments 
re: porting the Gnat runtimes to an embedded platform for which gcc and 
a simple pre-emptive multitasking kernel (with semaphores and mailboxes 
etc) is available?

I've looked at Javier Miranda's free book about the Gnat runtime system, 
so have a broad idea of where I might start - I'm mostly interested in 
any experience that folks have on such endeavours.

Cheers,

John
