Re: Porting the GNAT runtime to an embedded target

["Steve" <nospam_steved94@attbi.com>]

Take a look at RTEMS (www.oarcorp.com).  If you can do you development on
Linux there are RPMS available for GNAT/RTEMS.  I haven't used these myself
since I work on W2k.

It may be possible to make GNAT/RTEMS work under cygwin.  So far I have not
been successful in my attempts.  Perhaps you'll have better luck.

I hope this helps,
Steve
