Indeed, an interesting project.

You first need a Ada cross-compiler. Here is a link about this : 
https://wiki.osdev.org/GNAT_Cross-Compiler

You also need a runtime. This is up to you to code it. You can use 
bbruntimes as a template. This can request modifications on your 
hardware. For example, the runtime needs a timer to track time. If your 
microprocessor do not have an embedded timer, you'll have to add one on 
your board.
