Since I received no replies to the message below I presume no one actually uses gnat for embedded systems. To my mind that seriously limits its usefulness as almost all the work I have done has involved custom or COTS embedded computers. Just in case I'm wrong I have included the message again.


> Has anyone tried or know whether it is possible to build a gnat cross compiler that uses VxWorks as the runtime? The reason for asking is that I want to use Ada on a VME single board computer (PowerPC 604) and don't see an easy way of using the features of the board (serial, SCSI, ethernet) without a real time OS such as VxWorks.

Also how do you build a gnat cross compiler?
