There are two parts to your problem.

1) Physically accessing the port.
  1a) Writing to the chip
  1b) Reading from the chip
  1c) Connecting up an interrupt handler

2) What you do with it once you can access it.

Part 1 will vary from toolset to toolset, but the Object Ada vendor should
have example code.

Part 2 has been the subject of literally HUNDREDS of books over the last 20
years.  The books generally address the details in C or 80x86 assembly
language.  Conversion of most of this to Ada will be straightforward, once
you have Part 1 in place.
