<<Has anyone used (or considered using) GNAT to develop software
for 8-bit or 16-bit microcontrollers? If I were to attempt to
use GNAT for microcontrollers, any recommendations on chips, usage
process, or lessons learned?>>
I don't know of anyone actually doing this yet, but lots of people have
considered it, or at least talked about it (look up the long thread
a while ago on CLA).
A good recommendation is to start with a chip for which a good gcc port
is already available. A number of micro-controller chips routinely use
gcc for their C capability, and this makes for a good start in a GNAT
port. A GNAT port that does not need tasking capability is not a huge
job to build on top of a GCC port if you know what you are doing.
