Just got my copy too. Nice work. I am having a lot of fun getting GNAT 
Ada running on a lot of ARM boards, creating support for the ARM on-chip 
peripherals and creating drivers for common external sensors, displays, 
etc.  It is great that others are seeing the power of Ada on these 
powerful platforms.  I am not that happy with the 2015 GNAT ARM release 
- it doesn't seem to work correctly, doesn't have some of the support it 
promises and has changed a lot from the initial release making a lot of 
work for me to port what I have already done.  I think I will mostly 
stick with the 2014 release for now.
