That would be me. At present, no further along, but I've not really spent m=
uch time on it. The quick test results of STM32F4DISCOVERY board with Ada o=
n is here: https://github.com/Lucretia/tamp/tree/master/blink

I spent last week documenting what I need to do to get a decent runtime goi=
ng for Cortex boards (and similar other arches), so I am looking into it ag=
ain. This would provide a port of CMSIS + a RTOS kernel which provides task=
ing support, enough for a Ravenscar RTS.
