Re: what does your Ada + hardware look like ?

Gallery of my 8-bit AVR hardware can be found at
https://www.flickr.com/photos/terokoskinen/albums/72157625466664467

All of these run AVR-Ada.

In addition, I have a lot of Cortex-M and Cortex-A based boards, but on 
those I have run mostly C so far. See

Desktop PCs rarely have I2C or SPI pins exposed. You better use some 
microcontroller between the I2C/SPI IC and the desktop.

http://arduino.ada-language.com/tag/i2c.html should give you some idea.

For example, I once used Arduino and Ada to read my (father's) laptop's 
I2C EEPROM contents:
