I will design a custom board (basically a single board computer) with all required equipment and interfaces. The platform shall be fan-less, support at least 64Mb RAM and 64 Mb Flash, CPU should be at least 400Mhz. OS, or run-time environment should be minimal, and take very little time to boot (1-5 seconds), so Android will most likely not gonna work.

I did some research, and found that ADACore has press release about bare metal ADA Compiler (now talking to them), and some other project that offer a possibility of doing this, such as Ada_Bare_bones, RTEMSAda, Ada Microkernel.

I'm looking around, and I have to ask: Why is it so hard to find information on getting started with embedded ADA?
If I search for "Getting started with C on embedded devices" I find instructions that would have me up and running in no-time, but so far I haven't been able to find any kind of guide, tutorial, or barely even suggestions.
It's not strange that people new to embedded systems are looking to C and other languages, they can easily find information about it and get started quickly.
