It depends very much on what hardware and operating system you have. 

For example, I'm using commercial PCI boards that do D/A, A/D, serial
and parallel IO, and 1553 bus. Since I'm using the Lynx operating
system, I have to write the OS drivers myself; then I can talk to the
device drivers from my Ada program.
