One very old approach would be to use an Ada J code compiler. If you are lucky, there will have already been created a J code virtual machine (J code interpreter) for the microprocessor. If not, one will have to be created. The reason that this an old approach is Ken Bowles did it with the P codes for the UCSD Pascal system. This approach has one major problem, poor performance in terms of speed of execution. -----Original Message----- From: comp.lang.ada-admin@ada.eu.org [mailto:comp.lang.ada-admin@ada.eu.org]On Behalf Of Ira Baxter Sent: Saturday, December 23, 2000 2:12 PM To: comp.lang.ada@ada.eu.org Subject: Re: Ada compiler for microcontrolers ? Build a code generator based on a generic compiler front-end, such as our DMS Reegineering Toolkit. See http://www.semdesigns.com/Products/DMS/DMSToolkit.html. One might generate either Native or C code, depending on ambition. Ira D.

Hi. I would like to use restricted Ada for programming of microcontrolers like M68HC16 and PIC16Cxxx with a GPL:ed Ada compiler system. Where can I find one? I suppose there is none. The question is then how to get such a compiler system ? !) Port GNAT/gcc. 2) Modify ada2nqc in Ada/Mindstorms ( see Ada Letters, sept 2000 ). Or what? Are you aware of other reuse possibilities? I would like to hear your opinion in this subject.
