Provided you can get a compiler (as Fabien suggested, or, if you're able
to run on Windows, try GNAT GPL 2012 from libre.adacore.com) you will be able
to use the SPARK tools; see [1], especially chapter 19. The natural way
of handling SPARK uses aspects, and you'd need a recent compiler to
support that (FSF GCC 6, GNAT GPL 2016).

FSF GCC 6 appears to have AVR support, so you could build your own
cross-compiler.

But the ATmega328P has 32kB flash, 2kB sram, so your chances of getting
Ravenscar to fit are, practically, zero.
