I heard that Simulink Realtime Workshop does not support Ada code
generation anymore.

May I quote the epic Real Programmers Don't Use Pascal:

"For this reason, Real Programmers are reluctant to actually edit a program
that is close to working. They find it much easier to just patch the binary
object code directly, using a wonderful program called SUPERZAP (or its
equivalent on non-IBM machines). This works so well that many working
programs on IBM systems bear no relation to the original Fortran code. In
many cases, the original source code is no longer available."
