(I have no knowledge of it). I also have no help to offer the OP, but if he is unsuccessful, he might be able to use a different compiler. I recall TLD, Tartan, Intermetrics, GNAT, XD, and XGC compilers for the 1750A. Tartan's Ada compilers were obtained by DDC-I, and Intermetrics ended up absorbed by AdaCore. AdaCore doesn't claim to support the 1750A on its web site, so GNAT might have been an unofficial port. I don't know about the availability of any of those, but they might be an option. The 1750A was often used when radiation hardening is needed. I recall the RH32, and this paper dated 2012 http://webee.technion.ac.il/~ran/papers/SurveySpaceProcessors.DASIA2012.pdf lists a number of other RH processors and equivalents. It also seems that current practice is to use redundant non-RH COTS processors or RH-By-Design processors, which achieve similar tolerance of radiation at a lower cost than an RH processor. Transitioning to such a system might be an option if staying with the 1750A doesn't work out. -- Jeff Carter "Since I strongly believe that overpopulation is by far the greatest problem in the world, this [Soylent Green] would be my only message movie."
