A tried option is an Arduino and AVR-Ada
(http://sourceforge.net/p/avr-ada/wiki/Home/), but it is not quite a
full Ada implementation.

Another option is x86 and Marte OS (http://marte.unican.es/).

If you want to play with LEON2/3 CPUs ORK+ (http://web.dit.upm.es/~ork/)
is an option.  I don't know how easy LEON2/3 CPUs are to come by.

RTEMS (http://rtems.org/) should be another option - with a large choice
of target architectures - but I am not sure I know anybody actually
using RTEMS and Ada.

Greetings,

Jacob
