Hello Marcus,
Not quite. I have a quadcopter controlled by an Arduino with a simple kerne=
l running in Ada.=20

Besides AVR-Ada=20
(http://sourceforge.net/p/avr-ada/wiki/Home/) cited by Jacob, I also point =
that Adacore has a ZFP implementation in GNAT GPL for AVRs called avr-elf-w=
indows; you can download it from Adacore Libre site (select avr-elf-windows=
 2012; this year there is no new release for it). I am advising a msc thesi=
s which implements some satellite protocols for small resources in an Ardui=
no, in Ada, using ZFP.=20

Ada is also available (I guess with full implementation) in the Raspbian li=
nux which comes with Raspberry Pi. A bit more expensive (than Arduinos), bu=
t you have plenty more resources. I have a feeling that you can install tha=
t rt linux addins on it.

Cheers.
Rego.
