Abstract :
This paper describes how an efficient and deterministic multitasking run-time environment supporting the Ravenscar tasking model of Ada 2005 was implemented on the Atmel AVR32 UC3A microcontroller. The open source GNU Ada Compiler (GNAT GPL 2007) was also ported to AVR32 as a part of this work, making a working Ada development environment available on the architecture for the first time.
