Hi,

Thank you for your answers.

I know RTEMS and MarteOS and they are great projects.

But I want to use the stuff those guys have put in the kernel main
line :
https://www.osadl.org/HOWTOs.howtos.0.html

It may not be the most accurate or performance may be lower than with
other solutions but I think it would match my needs for now.
Of course, if I can run Ada and get something "real time".
Otherwise, my project is quite useless.
