Take an inexpensive processor which has a gnu / cygnus compiler port and its
evaluation board
and provide gnat with a runtime environment (RTEMS ADA?) for a decent price,
around 200.00 US.
This would provide an ADA real-time programming environment that students
could access and actually design, and code on. ( I am not a student, and
would be first in line! )
One such board is the hitachi SH1 evaluation kit. For 99.00 it includes a
decent amount of peripherals, and the cygnus toolchain. I'm not sure if
RTEMS is ported to the SH1.
A power PC eval board is probably available also.
In many companies, it is these evaluation kits which gain the loyalty of
energetic and inspired individuals. This loyalty gets parts designed in. It
could also get languages designed in.
I can guarantee that in a years time, Java will be available in this format.
ADA should be there too.
If Aonix is listening, how about an evaluation Raven kit for a processor
Eval Board? I understand the financial pain of reading this, but the more
ADA users there are, we all win.
