Rolf graciously granted me access to add to the AVR-Ada's Tutorial
page,
my own notes on using the USB Boarduino (Arduino) with AVR-Ada.
It can be found here:

https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/avr-ada/index.php?title=Tutorial#USB_Boarduino_Tutorial

If you are currently using the Arduino, this should make it easier to
get
started with AVR-Ada.  This documents some things that are specific
to the Arduino environment that took me some time to work out.
Consider it the "fast track".

The Arduino focus has always been to make it easy for people to get
started and teaching, which is ok.  But I think they've sometimes
"dumbed it down" too much.  They don't want their students to get
confused by technical details like upload baud rates or I/O ports
and pins. They'd prefer them to know that the LED is "digital pin 13"
instead of  Port B, bit 5 (on a particular chip).  Anyway, that's
just
my opinion- I like to drive.

So I've documented a few Arduino details that may be of interest
in that tutorial.
