Just as you get a full Ravenscar Real-Time kernel with GNAT for
Mindstorms, you don't have to put Linux on your embedded device.  You
can get versions of GNAT targeting several different bare-metal devices
including ARM and Atmel chips.

I think Ada is a good choice.

If you choose a target architecture with a readily available Ada
compiler; definitely.  If there isn't a readily available Ada compiler
for your target architecture resources on your project may interfer.  (I
am currently working on a project where a part of our system is
programmed in a different language since we haven't had time to port
GNAT to the hardware architecture yet. - But we plan to get it fixed, so
we can have an all Ada system.)

Books and on-line tutorials. - And feel free to ask questions here.

Greetings,
