We would like to get feedback from the Ada community on what is being used, pros/cons of various products, general comments and suggestions. Here is where we are at right now: We are trying to evaluate Ada compilers for the PowerPC, MIPS and Pentium processor families. We would like to know of any experiences with using these processors as embedded machines with Ada as the embedded development language. What type of embedded system? Which Ada compiler? How well/poorly is it working out? What sort of problems are you encountering? Since we are not at all committed to a processor at this point, we would like to hear about almost any recent 32 bit embedded system development using Ada95. (Note that we are not doing development using a SBC with some commercial RTOS - we build the processor board from the ground up and build all of the software that operates in it as well. So we are interested in experiences similar to the work we are doing and need to consider compilation systems aimed at this sort of bare machine.) If you have had some experience in selecting a processor/Ada compiler combination recently and wouldn't mind sharing the knowledge you have gained, please drop me a line. Thanks for any information you can send.
