GNAT Pro for 8bit AVR microcontroller

AdaCore has announced the availability of its GNAT Pro Ada development environment for the Atmel AVR 8bit microcontroller. This brings the high-level language benefits of Ada to the embedded systems community which requires low-power and small-memory devices, easing the job of developing safety-critical and high-security deeply embedded applications. The first user of GNAT Pro for AVR will be the UK’s Atomic Weapons Establishment. The new GNAT Pro for AVR retains the features and functionalities of GNAT Pro’s existing High Integrity Edition. It comes with a Zero Footprint run-time library that is particularly well adapted to meet the small memory constraints of the AVR microcontroller. GNAT Pro for AVR demonstrates the suitability of the Ada programming language for safety-critical development for architectures ranging from 8bit to 32bit and 64bit processors. GNAT Pro is based on GCC technology. GNAT Pro for AVR is currently available to GNAT Pro customers.
