No, or minimal OS is preferred, if = possible. Do you really need such a big board? That's basically quite a powerful mach= ine. That could easily run Linux + GNAT no problem. I ported GNAT to Yocto = (on GitHub), for exceptions it uses setjmp/longjmp, like all ARM targets wi= ll right now due to lack of understanding of DWARF EH and the GNAT sources = needing to be re-arranged to support it on ARM. You could easily boot into Ada on any ARM board, I've done it on a Cortex-M= 4 board. >From what I read here, there seems to be a misunderstanding re ports. For a= ny GCC backend, GNAT can be directed to target it at some level. Luke.
