Agreed.
You might want to follow the AVR-Ada mailing list/newsgroup
(nntp+news.gmane.org:gmane.comp.hardware.avr.ada), even if your primary
embedded platform is a different one.
I have a selection of different embedded devices here on my desk. All
of which I intend to program in Ada at some point.
+ MSP430 (TI Launchpad) - GCC but no Ada reported yet (according to
Google).
One known Ada project targeting the MSP430 used AdaMagic as a front-end
to a C compiler targeting MSP430. Not my favourite solution, but
definitely a possible solution.
+ Atmel (Arduino etc.) - AVR-Ada works but without much of a run-time
system.
We are actively using AVR-Ada on a commercial project I'm working on.
+ ARM (various boards) - GNAT works (apparently) flawlessly on
Debian/Squeeze on Raspberry Pi. Tero Koskinen is doing some work to
get Gumstix modules to the same level of Ada support as the Raspberry
Pi. ACT has a cool demo of GNAT with a Ravenscar run-time running on
Mindstorms NXT (I have some LEGO here in the office too ;-).
I'll publish build instructions and test results here as I get things to
work.
Greetings,
Jacob
