It is doable with highly optimized kernel (disable everything that is not needed). And not much is needed for the application.

Hm, I totally forgot about Atom. It might be a good idea. Do you use it with Windows/Linux, or some specialized RTE? 

Bare-board is actually preferred, but it seems like it is not possible, since ADA is a higher level language and would require at the very list some kind of RTE/Library to support all the features.

I did, I submitted a web-form request first - no response. Then I called, and left a message to sales guy - no response. Weird. I will try again :)

Thanks for suggestions!
