One useful thing to bear in mind is here is cross-compilation from Ada 
to C.  We have had considerable success with this when using SPARK to 
target small and unusual processors.  See, for example,

http://www.praxis-his.com/sparkada/pdfs/ada_uml_and_c.pdf

Using these techniques pretty much makes /any/ hardware programmable in Ada.
