Affordable Ada compiler for Motorola 68332?

Affordable Ada compiler for Motorola 68332?

Hi!

I'm considering using a Motorola 68332 based controller (Eyebot) in student
projects, and I am therefore in need of a suitable Ada compiler.  If anyone
can help me find a usable and cheap (academic/educational license?) compiler
I would really appreciate this. I've already got an offer from one vendor
but although there was a 96% discount on the compiler itself, a cost of
�10.000,- for a 2 year _mandatory_ support and maintenance agreement is far
too high.

For simplicity I would prefer a compiler that could be run on a PC under
Windows or Linux.

More information on the Eyebot controller can be found at
http://www.ee.uwa.edu.au/~braunl/eyebot/.

Best regards,

Rune

Take a look at RTEMS.
  http://www.rtems.com

It's free (without support).  Support is available.  I don't know the cost
of support.

I love this; simply because you are writing code, you need an Ada
compiler :). Ada has finally arrived :).

see www.adaic.org for the complete list of Ada vendors.

I believe GNAT targets the 68k, but it depends on your operating
system.

Looks like MaRTE(a RTOS) has some support for the 68332:
