Funny, I wanted to do the same stuff on the same board by converting my current C implementation to Ada, it ended up in a disaster, the compiler wouldn't run on my mac (so I used a linux simulator), the real-time feature of Ada were actually clocked on a fixed SYSTICK, and most of the Ada tools were randomly crashing.

the plugin I started writing at the time: https://github.com/nraynaud/ada-intellij

The code I wanted to convert: https://github.com/nraynaud/webgcode/tree/gh-pages/interpola...

where I threw the towel: https://github.com/nraynaud/bldc_ada

When was this? The tools working for me (either Linux or Windows). In fact we released a new version today: http://libre.adacore.com/download/configurations

And we are also working on a bare-metal driver library for ARM Cortex-M. Have a look: https://github.com/AdaCore/Ada_Drivers_Library

Hey, I know you :) I used your web Gcode simulator a lot: https://nraynaud.github.io/webgcode/

funny, I never really used it myself, but I got a few people telling me they use it :)
