Hi,

I'm interested to know if there are some examples of Ada code or developments for the new version of Lego Mindstorms (EV3 Brick). I know that there is much done for NXT, but the question is about present/future of Ada on this new platform. Any ideas? As far as I know, NXT development resources are incompatible with EV3.
Something from AdaCore to use (Open Source)? 

Thanks,
Karen

What should it run then? Windows? ;)

But yes, something like RTEMS may have been the better choice.

The good thing about Linux/arm is that we have gnat for it.

No! Nothing! Bare metal is enough, link in all the bits you need.

Ah, I see. But maybe that would be too low level for an entry level robotics 
kit.

Why?  It worked fine with the LEGO Mindstorms NXT.
