Kind of as it says in the subject; I'm aware there's a GNAT Pro release 
that seems to target Embedded Linux on ARM, but are there any others?

I'm assuming the GNAT offering covers ARMv7 on the basis their bare-metal 
one packaged in the Community Edition does, but maybe it doesn't!

I saw some information on a PTC ApexAda one but what I read gives the 
impression it may be ARMv8 only, maybe not though!

If anyone knows more about this, any info they can give me would be very 
much appreciated; at this point I'm particularly interested in ARM A9 
support, and at least Ada 2005, preferably 2012.

Also, does anyone know what AdaCore's like (or any other vendors, for 
that matter) if you ask for pricing/evaluation? We've been using C++ at 
work for ages, but I'm quite interested in seeing whether it would be at 
all feasible to move, at least partly, to Ada because C++ gets on my 
nerves :-) Sadly though, as we're busy and it would be an "on the side" 
evalaution, I've not got much time to 'play' with it, so the duration 
would be pretty much be open-ended, and I could do without people 
hassling me every few weeks to buy their products when the chances are 
I've managed about 10 minutes with it between calls...

Hope you don't mind me asking here; I know there are some great guys from 
various vendors here, so... 

Thanks
John
