Re: Low Level Ada

Of course. The customary way is to define an appropriate data structure 
and fix its address at 16#B800# - look at the "for X'Address use 
16#B800#". Other techniques involve writing a procedure that can write 
to specific addresses or even dipping into assembler from within Ada. A 
solution does exist - it depends to some extent on what your compiler 
will support. Look into ARM chapter 13 and the package System (and all 
its kids).
