For my hobby projects (SDR) at home I got this one (non-commercial use): https://www.segger.com/j-link-edu.html Together with the Olimex board : https://www.olimex.com/Products/ARM/ST/STM32-H407/open-source-hardware and a hobbyist version of the CrossWorks (http://www.rowley.co.uk/arm/) environment works very well. I know, its C but I had to start somewhere :). Again this is not Ada but it is worth checking: http://www.mpeforth.com/xc7.htm#versions and http://www.forth.com/embedded/swiftx-embedded-systems-14.html Cheers, Darek
