Ada Resource Association

Jack Ganssle uses the occasion of Robert Dewar’s passing to describe some of the benefits of using Ada over C in embedded projects.

Michael Silva shows how Ada can be used to program a 7-segment display on a microcontroller, and how Ada detected a bug in his program that would have gone undetected in some other commonly used languages.

The author discusses using Ada on a small microcontroller board, the STmicroelectronics STM32F407 Discovery board.

Micheal Silva discusses using a newly released GNAT system to program an STM32F4 Discovery board.

The author discusses using Ada on bare ARM microcontroller boards.

Michael Silva discusses using Ada 2012 on the ARM Cortex M3/M4 microcontroller.

William Wong discusses using Ada on a BeagleBone Black board, using an ARM Cortex-8 processor.

Jack Ganssle describes and discusses the McCormick, Singhoff, and Hugues book on embedded programming in Ada, suggesting that embedded programmers should read it, regardless of which language they currently use. (He calls it “new”, but it’s been around a while, having an April 2011 publication date and it’s been posted here for a while.)

Embedded.com denoted one of their weekly Tech Focus issues to Ada. This is the overview article, full of links to other Ada articles (most of which have been previously featured here).

William Wong looks at the Dasher project being developed by Mälardalen University in Sweden.
