If you ask AdaCore and others customers would do it as well, then maybe they will do it someday. > I despair. Don't be. Meanwhile, there are plenty of Intel Atom and AMD Geode SBCs. E.g. an ALIX board is under 100 EUR. http://www.pcengines.ch/alix.htm http://pcengines.ch/pic/alix2b3.jpg It runs Voyage Linux: http://linux.voyage.hk FSF Debain GNAT works there just fine. Full Ada 2005 with all bells and whistles, multitasking, GNAT sockets etc. All together fints into less than 600 MB fllash. 256 MB on board RAM is more than necessary. What else do you need?
