You can get versions of GNAT targeting several different bare-metal devices including ARM and Atmel chips. > now problem is what programing language to learn all i read till now > is custom kind language and/or ada > > am i on right tracks ??? I think Ada is a good choice. > is ada best for "live" linux os aplications (robotics)?? 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.) > and second part is where to learn her ?? Books and on-line tutorials. - And feel free to ask questions here. Greetings, Jacob -- Ada - the programming language still ahead of its time.
