But certainly if I had a cross-comp= iler for the board, I'd rather develop the drivers in Ada than in C. I won't say it's easy, it's not. I will say that if you're expecting a full blown Ada runtime, you will be dissappointed, that would require a ton of work to basically implement OS features on a bare board. I spent pretty much 2 full weeks just building and rebuilding gnat because it's a pain and this configuration is not supported at all. Luke
