Subject: Ada Embeded System Alternatives

Message-ID: <d222b012.0306261255.2fe6c962@posting.google.com> (raw)

I've been assigned the task to provide alternatives and solutions to
bringing legacy Ada 83 code to a new embedded system.

The new system's hardware, OS and language of choice is fixed (Mercury
Computer SBC PPCs, MC/OS, and C).  The use of C is not required,
however, if a justifiable alternative is presented.

The options I see are:
1) Port the code from Ada to C
2) Find Ada compilier for  MC/OS PPCs

Translating to C gives better tools and vendor support.  Using Ada
gives more robust code and eliminates translation errors.

Has someone pursued any options similar to these on a project before? 
If so, what did you do, how did you do it, and how was the outcome?
  
Thanks,
pauL
